We bought these a over a year ago for our move from TX to Iowa. We had 3 vehicles traveling and figured using these would be easier to use than having to call each other. They did not disappoint at all. We all were able to stay in touch with each other even without having to stay with each other. We would most definitely suggest these to anyone for what ever they may want to use them for. We are still using ours on our property or if our phones have poor signal. Even after almost 2 yrs they work great! :) Highly recommend!

These appear to have really good range and I can hear my son loud and clear on the channels. My only complaint would be that the interface is a little complicated to figure out- took a bit to figure out how to get them all on the same setting but worked great after that.

Awesome 2-Way Radio. The sound is great, the quality of speech communication is excellent being crisp and clear. The range is perfect, even 15 miles away from one another so we did not test the full extent of the range but the range up to how far apart we were was perfect and it never was unclear or static at all. The headsets are great too. They stay in place and do not get in the way. The battery life was also very good we played from 10am to 4 pm and we did not even drop past full charge. A great buy if you are looking for a less costly means of communication.

Bought these to try at my work place so that me and 2 others could communicate without having to walk literally 2 miles across the plant to each other's area.
Reception is excellent, not too much background noise or static.
Really good volume, can be heard over heavy machinery.
Would definitely recommend this set.

i got these for in-home communication-the cheapest route i could take, i wish it came with a charging craddle so all of us could drop them in b4 bed, also nickel batteries instead of lithium, cant wait to use them, gramps can't hear grandma when he's in the kitchen and either can i with the water running, so when grandpa cooks they really have a problem..i also am in the garage a lot doing projects so if i'm needed they can call. during the summer months gramps is in the garden and if grandma needs something she can get ahold of us...haven't opened them up yet but i hope they'll do the job, i did talk to a geek squad member and he told me they will accept returns this time of year till mid-january so thats great, if i can get back on review and update it i will-Merry Christmas

Bought these for the kids to play with and to feel a bit more "official". Close range is great. Don't expect to go more than a few blocks in your neighborhood. Houses and buildings will definitely interfere. Used them to communicate with the wife while on a run up to almost half a mile away with clear sight. Voice is pretty clear. Satisfied.

worth the money you pay for it. I'm guessing the quality doesn't get too much better once you start paying double.

These communicators provide the function intended. I have used these in (flat) Florida and (flat) Africa. If you are going to do something where your life may depend on the range, buy the ones that are 7 to 10X the price of these. The reliable range is about 25-50% of what is advertised, but this is true of most walkie talkies because they are usually measures under ideal conditions (unlike the real world). Also, the battery life is fair. All in all, I would recommend these for the casual user. For the price, they are a good value.

Got these on sale, needed exactly 3 and did not want to pay for two separate two packs. Sound quality is good. Batteries last about 10-12 hours. They are rechargeable and your able to charge two at a time which is nice.

We purchased these because we had to go to Florida to escort our youngest daughter home and we wanted to be sure we were able to be in contact with her while on the road. Using the cell phones would be to dangerous and you sometime lose signal in spots. They worked really well. The batteries on one of them ran out fast so be sure to purchase more batteries upon purchase.

Since we have a huge home, I got these so we wouldn't have to walk all the way to each others room. They work perfect and the range on these is pretty outstanding. Awesome product

I would rate these walkies very highly for their price, and for their functionality. The rechargeable batteries last a very long time, and the range on these are insane.....as in they actually go the distance as described on the packaging. However, they work best in your immediate party when in rural areas. The clarity is great as well!

We got these for a 100 acre farm and the overall clarity is great and two-way is easy to use. Only issues were with the rechargeable batteries with no charging base, and the battery compartment has a tab that breaks off super easily. When we use non rechargeable batteries the clarity and battery life is much better. I got them on sale and would do it again!

We purchased these radios to coordinate the work of three people supporting a major outdoor event covering about five acres. They worked great. Voice quality was very good and they were loud enough to be easily heard over the peple nearby.

My wife and I purchased this product to communicate with each other in and around the house and it is only minimally effective for this purpose .The sound quality is poor and if we leave a unit on, but not being charged for an extended period the batteries will go dead. It also has a lot of feature we will never use. Bottom line, we are some what disappointed with this product.
