I have purchase 4 sets (8 radios) within 2 weeks of purchase 2 of them just stopped working. Now I am dealing with the headsets not working. Simply put I am highly disappointed in this product especially because its rating suggest a much better product. I run after school and summer camp programs and this type of radio is just not suited for daily use.

These are better than average. And they do very well in the mountains, much longer range than I expected. The only problem is they need to be louder volume. I would buy them again for the money.

While we caravaned between properties, rather than using Cell phone minutes we used these hand sets. The signal was clear, even a mile away from each other, but when we went through a populated area, we encountered "others". There were some kids on the same frequency that were saying things freaking out our kids. Luckily there are multiple channels available and we found one without kids playing on it.
I think it will work great when we settle on a specific frequency beyond the default, and go out to outdoor venues where we may split directions. Only thing that could be added to improve these, is a homing beacon.

these work great! only downfall is the headset, when wearing it for extended periods of time they start to hurt your ear. Used these for our kickboxing tournament for 3 days and everyone loved them. great reception, great battery life, very clear.

Works great and the price was good. They work suprizingly well in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado where we use them. Don't expect 36 miles in that kind of terrain but we did get 10 miles line of sight without a problem and up to 3 miles throughout the forest in mountainous terrain.

We use these to communicate with our kids while they play outside. They have a great range and clear reception. We have had no issues with battery life or anything like that.
We pretty much use these on a daily basis while the kids are playing, riding bikes, or out in the neighborhood. Saves on the lungs for yelling across the neighborhood for the kids to come home for dinner.

These radios are amazing and tough, I went to the lake and dropped them on the hot sand but they kept working just fine, and as far as signal strength goes, in the city I got about four miles measured by google earth, and I've yet to test them in the woods, so maybe I'll update.... maybe.

Buy it. Even if you think you don't need, still buy it. Buy 2. Not because it might brake, but because it is so awsome.

Our shop is about 300 feet from the house. We have a little farm store there so we are back and forth to the house constantly. With the 2-way, I can consult with my partner and give good answers to callers, find him when I need him and relay other message which is saving both of us countless steps and minutes every day. I wish we had thought of this three years ago when we started the business.
The only thing that annoys me about the units is that the keyboard lock doesn't work all that well. I keep bumping the unit on things and it starts to scan by itself. Then I have to turn the unit off and back on to make it stop. Other than that, it's wonderful.

This is my fourth set of Midland FRS/GMRS radios - upgraded over the years. I've used them on cruises and also family outings and am well pleased. On the water, very long range. However, as with all radios of this type, buildings and woods will shorten the range.

I chose this rating because the overall set was in great condition. However when I has the set for a couple of days one of the ear pieces did not work anymore. The ear piece would have a continuous beep noise while it was plugged in. Besides that i really like this set its very efficient.

Great value. Range seems average to others. 8 miles doesn't seem right. I got 1 1/2 miles from inside the house.

The radios work fine, and the batteries last a long time. The 3 star is because the ear pieces (that were not pictured when i bought them) are ridiculous. The normal earbud/mic combo was what I needed, not some drive through fast food model.

The 36 mile range is likely a stretch but they are reasonably powerful in concrete buildings. The radio has a nice feature of vibrate for notification which is handy for times where voice transmission is undesirable. Person receiving the notification can then go to a more appropriate area and talk. Good features for an inexpensive radio. Ear buds that come with the radio are worthless, but Midland sells a good headset which work well with the radio (AVPH3 headset).

Ear pieces are cheap and break after a few months. Usually the mic's go first so all the other person can do is squelch once for no, or twice for yes. Will have to replace all the earpieces.

Bought this set to enable communication between 2 cars on a journey through western USA (inc Death Valley). They worked flawlessly throughout although we didn't test the claimed 35 mile range. Excellent product and good value.

Motorola MR350R vs Midland GXT1050--Both products received good reviews on Amazon and I had a hard time initially deciding which one to buy since I could not find detailed comparison between the two. So, I will try to be more comprehensive in comparison here hoping to help you make a decision suitable for your purpose.
I bought MR350R two months ago from Costco at $55 (tax included) to monitor my baby sleeping upstairs and to use during road trips. A month later I also bought Midland GXT1050 from Amazon upon good reviews and my dissatisfaction with some silly design issue associated with the MR350 VOX feature (which is critical for monitoring purpose).
Size and weight: MR350 is lighter (6.2oz vs 7.3oz for each handset including rechargeable battery pack and belt clips) and has a noticeably more agronomical grip, especially for kids or someone with smaller hands.
Setup and Change Settings: MR350 has more intuitively LCD display and signs/symbols whereas GXT1050 took me a couple of hours to set up and memorize what each symbol/letter means (It would be tremendously helpful if Midland can add a full list of all symbols/letters and their meanings in a simple table instead of diving this information into chunks and burying it into each individual function/feature section). I think a 10 year old can be taught to change settings on MR350 without a manual but that most likely won't happen with GXT1050 (with or without the manual).
Features: These two share many useful key features like Weather Scan and Alert. GXT1050 has more channels (50 vs 22 for MR350R) which may be useful for using in populated areas although I never run into issues with MR350 on this one. MR350 has a built-in LED light for emergency use, which is nice. GXT1050 can produce a loud SOS siren which maybe useful in certain situations (although I never used it for any real purposes). Overall GXT1050 seems a bit more versatile with features such as direct call.
Range: GXT claimed 36 miles range and MR350 claimed 35 miles--both claims are meaningless since nobody would ever achieve the advertised range unless standing on two mountain peaks with perfect conditions. In actual use, the effective range is more like 1-2 miles in a flat suburban environment and a bit more in open field. Some reviewers here found a slightly better range with GXT1050 although my test twice showed MR350R lasted a slightly longer range while me driving away from home with each model broadcasting from my living room.
PPT Button is the one needing to be pressed down when transmitting. MR350R has the button designed in such way you can press the upper part for high power and lower part for low power--made switch power a much easier task. Using GXT1050's mechanism you will have to pre-configure power level in the settings and is not very easy to change in a hurry. The shape of MR350 PPT button is made in such a way though, you would end up using the high power most of the time since the upper part of the button protrudes further out. Nonetheless, I like the MR350R design on this one.
VOX: This is one of the most critical features if you want to monitor baby sleeping in a different room or just want to talk hand-free. I agree with C. Hayes' review here that MR350R's three sensitivity levels are not sensitive enough (Hayes's wording made me smile, though a bit exaggerated.). GXT1050 has 9 level of sensitivities and the most sensitive setting (level 1) is indeed more sensitive than that of MR350R (level 3), however, the difference it is not day and night--both detected my baby crying after waking up when placed about 1-2 feet away and both failed to detect my normal talk volume from 1-2 feet away unless I yell loudly or put the radio within 2-3 inches to my mouth. When put in front of a PC speaker, I did notice that GXT1050 started getting into the transmitting mode a bit earlier than MR305R as I turned up the volume knob of my speaker. However, if you want to talk to you handset placed on your shoulder (like policeman does) with your normal voice volume without bending your head to get close to the ratio--good luck no matter which set you use. I really think both companies should increase the sensitive level here.
The biggest turn-off of MR350R is that its VOX feature would be automatically cancelled if you press PPT button, intentionally or accidentally, even if when all settings are "locked"--my baby likes to play with radio and sometime the VOX setting is accidentally cancelled because he squeezed the PPT button. I found this a ridiculous under-thinking (or over-thinking) by Motorola's engineers--I understand the need to preserve power if pressing PPT means VOX may no longer be necessary, but auto-cancel even though settings are locked? Does the word "lock" mean anything? GXT has no problem on this one--kudos to their engineers. I would have returned MR350R for this reason alone (thank

We use these walkie talkies for our hotel. We went through several different manufacturers and these have held up the best. We can always read each other loud and clear no matter were we are on the property. Great reception, and they can take a beating. We've dropped them multiple times, spashed them with chemicals you name them. They've held up better and provide better reception than any other walkie talkie we have tried. There about 1 year old now and going strong which is more than we can say for some other brands we've used.
