Motorolla known for their quality but these are not well built.

The sound was crystal like the building was made of wood so it proves the transmitter is high quality

It's apparent that these are well built units unlike cheaper radios which look like toys

First, these are well built, feel great and sturdy in your hand.

Everything works but speaker is a bit low and creates lots of static even with strong signals (Compared to my Motorola MT350R is much better with audio and overall reception) other than that the radio is well built and very stylish.

These work perfect and sound is clear that I am comfortable enough to go out into the woods on my own!

These work pretty well around the neighborhood up to 1/4 mile

Overall, these are easy to use, have worked well for us, and seem to be a quality product.

A great time saver at remodeling and repair jobs, especially when working in 2-story houses.

Weather alert works great, would be nice if it used SAME technology for weather alerts though

I do like the size and the feel of the buttons

Size and weight are perfect.

I like the size and the performance I have gotten out of them the few times that I have used them

Comfortable size to carry everywhere

good range, good size.

I also like the new button layout having PTT flashlight and emergency button all on one side, and the rubberized tops and bottoms is nice too

Very handy wit the little LED flashlight - bright enough for nighttime walking

What I like:-Rugged construction can take a good beating-weather-proof design; IP-54 rating-uses rechargeable batteries; can also use 3x AA batteries-Push-to-Talk Power Boost can increase transmission power, and goes back to low transmission (to conserve battery power) when not needed-built-in LED flashlight turns on when power goes out (but also turns on when unplugged)-micro-USB charging port for rechargeable battery

These work perfect and sound is clear that I am comfortable enough to go out into the woods on my own!

The sound is good and you can control he volume with the off-on switch

very good sound at large range or even inside buildings

When you tell the other person to speak louder, the sound gets really distorted

I bough these radios after being disappointed by Midland's design decisions WRT battery life management - but those at least worked properly - loud and clear sound, adequate power, no issues with receiver overload (even being were 5W units), etc.

The vibrate feature is also really cool when it is loud and you might not hear an all call.

Haven't really used them much yet, but these seem to have nice features.

I have to admit that the charging is actually the top feature that attracted me to this - on a weeklong ski trip you can bet you're going to need batteries at some point.

The radio is weather and water proof and that is a good feature

It's just an incredible product I used other walkie talkies before but none compared to the Motorola walkie talkies.

Motorola has historically had a good product reputation.

Can't recommend this product enough to anyone

For such a great quality product, Motorola should have designed and supplied a good easy to read manual booklet instead of the instruction sheet they included

Can't recommend this product enough to anyone

Some other versions of this talk unit ( another company)have claims of 12 to 17 miles , but I would likely put the upper range at 12 to 17 miles with the right conditions on this unit

I've had conversations in terrible conditions...thick swamp ones and hardwood trees...stil l reached almost 2 miles

The range is wide as stated on the pack, but a more solid estime of the 2 to 35 mile range is a solid 2 to 5 miles, with an ability to go much further with the right conditions

Lol, maybe on paper, under perfect conditions using line of sight

These Motorola Talkabout T460s are neither toys nor anachronisms but high-quality, powerful communication devices that work where not a cell tower is in sight, with a purported line-of-sight range of up to 35 miles, under optimal conditions

Upon testing the radios the range and clarity is horrible.

The radios sound great and have a decent range, as advertised and as described in the documentation

The range is a joke, not even a mile in “real life conditions”

I would imagine out in the desert your range would be greater.

MURS in my opinion is more clear and better range than FRS/GMRS radios.

The styling just seems like very good quality and hand feel, they look like baby business radios

Not very good distance hardly a mile or so , and very fuzzy quality , the actual walkie is nice it has a flash light and seems to be pretty rouged and water resistant

The "weatherproofing" is a total joke and the sound quality is utter garbage

Also when the Motorola was in range the audio quality seems worse than the

These T460 radios have a professional feel to them like the build quality and construction of radio feels heavyduty or commercial like

but if you lay the handset on the passenger seat the reception drops to zero

The midland was able to have clear reception at also .25 miles

Works great and reception is very clear, even on distant FM stations

Very inconsistent reception while traving

gets poor reception the Motorola does not

We get a pretty good distance on these if we are not in a built up area with buildings in the way.

Usable distance in town or out in the timber is wonderful, you just have to ensure you are on the high power capable channels if you go to far.

Not very good distance hardly a mile or so , and very fuzzy quality , the actual walkie is nice it has a flash light and seems to be pretty rouged and water resistant

Distance has not been an issue for us, he never goes more than a mile or so away.

This is a perfect distance for the casual camper or those playing outdoor games

I have purchased three sets Motorola 22 channel walkie-talkie radios and only one set worked.

We used it for playing Ingress, and it worked perfectly, no matter our location!WE found the Motorola T400 two-way radio to be very durable

REALLY, disappointed about this, as Motorola needs better Q.C. on these Chinese radios

I would definitely recommend these Motorola T400 two way radios to anyone searching for such a product!

Unfortunately my broken radio is as quiet as Motorola, leading me to realize that I in fact can not trust Motorola for my communication needs.

Regardless, this unit lacks AM radio and for me, that is a necessity in an emergency radio

I ordered two sets of two units each and each package contained one defective unit

It's apparent that these are well built units unlike cheaper radios which look like toys

When we press the Mode, Menu, "+", "-", and Mon buttons the unit does a low pitch beep and the function does not work.

Great value and the units work great, ruggedized, and takes abuse

Also the Midland menu is nowhere near as good as

but if you do go out of range be prepared to be blasted by ridiculously loud static feedback when the squelch

but when your near buildings at a mall or in difficult coverage areas or poor or no line of sight as many of us know these radios can become useless so its nice to see the midlands power and clarity shine in a tough challenge I gave it

Also the Midland menu is nowhere near as good as

this unit way work better or worse in the odd weather areas.

Battery life is a little disappointing as you need to charge them daily but since they use micro-usb chargers it's super easy to use a portable battery pack or solar charger for camping.

One of them arrives missing its rechargeable battery pack.

The rechargeable packs make life easy close to civilization

Also the Midland menu is nowhere near as good as

Bought the two pack recently and they didnt work well at all

and if we have any future cold weather issues, I will update this post.

Press and release the (Menu Lock) and the channel number will begin to flash, and press "+" or "-" until you pick-up your strongest weather channel signal

These units are rugged and will withstand some rough treatment and bad weather, although the size is more reminiscent of a walkie 20 years ago than today

Range is also very good in our residential neighborhood although foul weather does decrease range

Radio works great and also flashlight weather reception a little weak

We also like the USB connectors, they take up a lot less space than older charging bases.--They seemed to work well in cold temperatures.

In very cold temperatures, one time, one of the radios would not stop vibrating when it was called.

Also the Midland menu is nowhere near as good as

The combined delays make a two way conversation cumbersome at best.

Their only flaw is their lack of clip to attach to you.

This series has a great look and feel - they seem very robust and have a general feel of quality - but if you have any desire to use them as rechargeable then they have an annoying fundamental flaw

Also the Midland menu is nowhere near as good as

I do not recommend them due to the nagging flaws in design and especially not for the higher price they are going for at this time.

Also the Midland menu is nowhere near as good as

Both radios need to be set at the same channel number and same interference code.

Press and release the (Menu Lock) and the channel number will begin to flash, and press "+" or "-" until you pick-up your strongest weather channel signal

To change channels (radio channels and weather channels), it tells you "With the radio on, press (Menu Lock) until the channel number starts to flash."

What they should have written is "press and release (Menu Lock) and the channel number will start to flash."

When testing them I stood 5 feet from him and it would not work, I'd have to try 5 or 6 times before it would send anything

At a distance (few tens to hundred feet) -- received voice stutters and varies in volume at random and abruptly - very hard to listen and discern what's being said

Yet it was possible to hear up to another 1000 feet worst case opening the squelch toward the end and maybe half that distance without having to open the squelch but fuzzier and the Motorola did nothing at all

I have read countless negative reviews of Midlands quality control

Other reviews here had me worried, but I ended up buying anyways

Saw this model on several review websites for walkie talkies to bring skiing, but was a little nervous after the mix of bad reviews (that also can be seen for almost any other walkie

Wasted money indeed.

They do not work as promised for a one mile distance between units
