Reviews around distance (4.87 of 5)

  • The sound quality was much improved as well as the actually distance
  • Lake is 10 miles long and 2 miles wide, longest straight distance is 7 miles and lost signal before reaching other point
  • The best distance these ever worked was a couple of miles at very best
  • I think on an open highway they will communicate at a great distance.
  • But great distance and good for .25 mile distances during road trips.

Reviews around feature (4.57 of 5)

Reviews around battery life (4.33 of 5)

  • Love the functionality but the battery life is not so good
  • The only concern I have is the NMhi battery life that I feel could be better in some respects
  • The battery life also is hit and miss, good luck getting a full 8 hours of usage (standard day of work).We will find another manufacturer for radios after this disappointing experience.
  • One negative comment regarding these radios is an echo of the most common complaint: the included battery life is just horrible.
  • Unfortunately they only worked within a few hundred feet of one another and the battery life was horrible

Reviews around quality (4.32 of 5)

  • Very poor quality only worked the first few days and have not worked since total loss of money
  • The sound quality was very weak and terrible, even up close.
  • The Walkie Talkies are very good quality and work very well
  • Of course, many of the other GMRS/FRS radios are the much cheaper kind you buy at Walmart and their sound quality is pretty awful, and there's nothing that having even the best radios can do about that
  • We use them up at Hunt camp and they have great range and great sound quality

Reviews around reception (4.02 of 5)

  • Very strong reception, audio exceptionly clear, great price
  • Used them in wooded mountain area and the reception was great for about up to a mile.
  • Since cell phones tend to have poor reception at my farm I was hoping that I could use these to communicate with the house when I am in my woods or working one of my back fields on the other end of the property.
  • These were purchased for our ranch and they have great reception and charging capacity.
  • Reception is a little spotty in rough terrain, Great for on the farm, not so great for in the woods.

Reviews around peak (3.86 of 5)

  • It's not as flexible or soft as you'd hope considering not all ears are created equal
  • They helped to facilitate intermittent conversation between my wife and I as we travelled across the great expanses that makeup our great country.
  • If you're not familiar with Big Sky, we were on opposite sides of Lone Peak, with the massive Lone Peak directly between us - this was valley to valley with a high mountain peak in between, and it was still extremely clear
  • We use these to communicate on our 20 acre property as well as during disaster drills held in our community.
  • Ski resort (Big Sky): farthest that we tested was when I was waiting in line at the tram for lone peak, and my wife was on the Shedhorn double chair, and it was also clear as ever

Reviews around advertise (3.64 of 5)

  • I have used A’s on numerous hunting trips they work well!
  • This is deceptive advertising by both Amazon and Midland.
  • Considering that the product advertises 36-48 mile range, a failure to perform this bad can only be blamed on false advertising.
  • (a) they work great across a yard, and save a lot of walking/yelling(b) the NOAA Weather Channels work as advertised (VERY important here in Florida!)(c) their dual-Battery Charger works just fine; I don't know how long the batteries last, though.(d

Reviews around reason (3.22 of 5)

  • we use them to move across the country and have been using them at her new apartment as well as when we go out.

Reviews around doe (1.56 of 5)

  • According to Midland it should work with other brands but does not.
  • Used while riding ATVs and its not as clear as I would like and VOX does pick up the ATV noise even on the lowest sensitivity setting
  • Very useful and does do the job
  • Husband and I used it on a road trip move and no way does it work unless the other car is in view.
  • First off, the ear peace blows...does not fit well...and even worse if I was not wearing a helmet, this ear piece would just wabble around with no way of securring it.
