The range is awesome, and they are plenty loud to hear with background noise around you.

Good reception with no background noise

Almost can't hear anything because of background noise, voice quality is sub-par

Not military radios, more of a toy feel...used for driving on beach...loud and clear enough to hear over considerable background noise....

Yes, when they're right near each other but unless you're in a completely barren area that's super flat, or maybe in space, then these won't work as you expect

It is great for our needs of contactin g each other on the farm.

well I like it
