Use as a football official. Work great for comm's to communicate between crew during game.

Great product

Does not work as stated

I bought these radios as a means of reliable communications while camping, hiking, and for potential emergency situations. They are great quality with plenty of features at a better price. Easy to set-up and hand one off to the spouse and kids for use. Sound quality is great and range is decent. I'd give it five stars if it came with li-ion batteries instead of high maintenance, short life NiCad batteries, but at least I can throw in some AAs in a pinch. Highly recommend if you need a durable, quality, mid-priced comms for your family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m new to two-way radios however my first two-way radio that I bought for the family was FRS radios I upgraded to GMRS since GRS has better range sound and more functionalities even though it needs licensing overall, this is a great radio and very satisfied with it I have also ordered Midland brand to wear radios FRS system since the quality and the sound of this radios are awesome.

Excellent walkie talkies, I have tested around 500 mts- 1640 Ft between cars and sounded great. The Vox option it´s great because you can use it just talking, you need to start with a short word, like "one" in order to Vox get activated and start talking in order not to cut your message. Vox function is great because you can get "fingerpain" as my kid said if you use a lot the PTT button. I haven´t tested how far it can work but it sattisfied my necessities. Included rechargeable battery is just ok, ( NiMH 6 V 700ma), if you want a better lasting, you can use 4 spare AA rechargeable batteries.

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY DAD THAT IS BLIND SO WHEN HE NEEDS ME I AM OUT SIDE HE HAS A WAY TO GET HOLD OF ME, THE BUTTONS ON THE SIDE IS BIG ENOUGH THAT HE CAN FIND IT AND IT BEEPS LET HIM KNOW THAT HE CAN TALK. HOW FAR I CAN GO WITH IT IS NOT BAD YOU CANT GO 10 MILES WITH IT BUT I THINK IT IS BECAUSE I LIVE IN A HILLY AREA. BUT IF ARE OUT IN THE FEILD OR IN THE WOODS YOU SHOULD BE OK. THE BATTARY LIFE IS NOT BAD . I WENT 2 DAY ALMOST 3 DAYS BEFORE I HAD TO CHARGE IT. BUT THAT IS WITH NOT USE IT MUCH. ITS NOT BAD THE HEAD SET FEELS LITTLE OFF TO ME THAT COULD JUST BE ME. IT WORTH THE MONEY IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO SIMPLE THINGS WITH IT.

I was able to take these handheld radios with me on an off road 4X4 trail last weekend. Some folks in my group had some super cheap radios that they picked up at a local big box store, and these Midlands showed them up. Our group got seperated, and when they were calling us we were out of their low output range. I then gave them one of mine to use, and the conversations were much clearer. We could get three times as far, and did not lose them again. The bonus was that after a full day of wheeling the Midland battery level did not drop one bar, but 3 out of their 4 radios had died.

I’m returning them. They’re worse than my 20yr old 2ways. They have a high pitched noise that comes in when they are more than 10ft apart, and it doesn’t matter what channel or settings…. It won’t go away. My old radios get clearer reception from farther away than these do.

I bought these radios for my crews pulling cable and they have had nothing but good things to say about them ! They really like the larger clips so they can attach them to their harnesses. They are very clear sounding and the battery life is excellent!
