I would like to see the blue tooth option. Think it would be a real plus. the VOX works well for communication on this modelonly. The lower model it did not work so well.

Just as advertised, I like everything about these but the range. They need to let us know the range in real world situations..

I used indoors for a couple of events in an sports arena. They worked great covering the entire facility. Voice over the radio was always very clear. Battery lasted the entire day with normal use. It needed to be recharged overnight each day.

They work well, and sound nice. But I wished Midland would join the rest of the electronic world and use Lithium-Ion batteries, instead of Nic-Cads still. They are wrong though on the box where they claim to offer 50 channels. The FCC only allows the standard frequencies as with other GMRS/FRS radios. They just pre program the "extra channels" by using random regular channels with different codes to fake an "extra channel". I tested this by transmitting next to a scanner on every channel and writing down the actual frequency I was using. Never believe everything you see!

as walkie talkies they work great and I would rate them higher but I wanted the hands free function and they fall short there. there is a lag in the VOX function that makes it difficult to use. I found a all in one headset that works exceptional in that regard. We are using as two way radio with out the headsets and find them working well.

Have tried these while hiking and deer scouting. They have worked very well so far. I have used these with AVHP4 ear clip and together they work great. Can't wait for deer season.

These radios have been great to me. I use them for security work, Hiking and while on my motorcycle. In the city I can only get about a mile out of them but they are built great. No issues with batteries or them breaking. Great voice quality. Group mode is awesome.

As the title says. This is a nice radio kit, with electrical and car power jack charge adapters, two headsets, charge station and of course two radios. The range on these is actually pretty good, but I honestly havent tested them out to 36 miles yet. However about four miles in a valley and assorted ravines etc, these funtioned great. The headphones functioned great as well, and I could see using these for hunting etc down the road. I'm really happy with the all around performance, and again, to be honest can't see the need to transmit for 36 miles, but at the same time I dont live in Kansas or the like where its flat enough for that to work.

One of the radios quit working (won't power on) within first few weeks of use. Manufacturer replaced the unit at no charge (other than the cost of shipping). About 9 months later, the other radio also quit working with the same issue.
I bought Motorola radios and quit using these.

So far so good. No real problems with the actual radios. Their functions are very customizable and reliant. The batteries came charged which was nice.

Broke after 3 months of very light use. Perhaps an hour a month. Makes a squealing sound whenever I depress the talk button. When it worked, it was just okay. Wouldn't always connect to the other handset, even at close range, under 100 ft unobstructed. But most of the time it worked fine. Average performance. Awful quality.

I've had these for awhile now, a year at least. I used them 2-3 times, once to test them out, once on a short hike, and once when the kids were running around the house playing army or something. When I put them away, they were stored in a clean, dry box in a closet. Took them out, won't hold a charge or even turn on when they are plugged in. Garbage, and for a family on one income that needs communication options, a total waste of serious money. Going with motorola. Disappointed, Midland, very disappointed!

Had it for several months. Have not tested the "paid" FCC range. So far, it works good at football field lengths around walls, and in stores, etc. I do not expect any consumer walkie-talkie to work more than 1/2 mile around bulidings, hills, etc., and maybe several miles with no obstructions on the free frequencies.
The battery indicator beeps before the GXT will stop working very soon. The LCD battery indicators aren't very accurate. The menu is a bit cryptic and one has to refer to the tiny manual if you don't change settings too often.
I have found out sometimes it does not seem to charge right. After charging overnite with the battery charger lite indicating it IS charging and turning it on it seems dead. No light or sound to indicate it is working. Taking the battery out and putting it back in the unit and (surprise) it's fully charged! So, there is some kind of connection problem here.
The volume knob has a small mark which should be painted in so you can see at a glance how high the volume is set. FYI, I painted the spot white myself. All control knobs and buttons work fine and seem of high-quality.
The VOX varies in sensitivity. You still have to talk very loud on the most sensitive setting and repeat yourself as you may get cutoff due to varying sensitivity.
Regular transmitting seems to work fine and the other party reports hearing you very clear, but this is for short distances, so one should expect that.
The LCD screen only lights up when you first turn it on or press one of the front buttons and only for a short time.
It has many, many features including a lot of "silent" options. To name a few it has, Call, SOS, (very loud), Lock, Monitor/Scan, Ring/Call tones, Group, Vibrate, etc. As well as the maximum amount of Security codes for this type of FCC range.
The battery charger has an indicator to show it is properly in the charger and making a connection and the GXT snaps right in. It also has a belt clip that works fine and is spring-loaded, not like others that just use "tension" to hold them on.
The "invisible" earbuds with lapel mics work fine and seem to look like the same ones used by undercover types. So expect to get some stares. Seems to drive woman crazy, so be careful. ;)
Overall, I am pretty satisfied with the "Family" range and the quality of its build. Again, I only use it for a couple of 100 feet between buildings and the like and don't know its super-range capabilities.
The only thing that bothers me a little is with the VOX you still can't get it to work the way one would imagine with nine ranges!
1 YEAR USE UPDATE:
After a year or so of very lite use I notice one of the units will not come on, sometimes after a charge and found out there is some kind of bad connection between the battery and the unit. The battery must be taken out and reconnected or exchanged with the other unit before working again, sometimes after doing this several times in a row.
2 YEAR USE UPDATE:
Still going strong, but I found out one annoyance. The volume button moves too easily and if your shirt is over it or in your pocket it will turn the volume knob and that can be very annoying or very dangerous depending on what it is used for. It needs to be made a little more harder or stiffer to turn.

Awesome little radios. Works great and the weather report option is a big bonus. Combined with headsets, which makes these hands free, you can't go wrong.

The radios perform, more or less, as advertised. Remember that to use them legally on the GMRS frequencies, you MUST obtain a license from the FCC at a cost of $80 for 5 years. (Failure to do so could result in a $10,000 fine!)

My son and I got airsoft guns for Christmas and we wanted a cool way to talk smack to one another while we shot at each other. We went to sports authority and bought a set of cobra two-way radios on clearance. what GARBAGE! However, we were sold on the idea of hands-free VOX and did some research on this Midland set. It was worth every penny ($89 retail at sports authority, I paid $59 on amazon). UPS shipped to wrong facility so the radios arrived 2 days later, but that’s ok. Pulled them out of the package and everything was there and everything works. The whole handheld is placed in the charger so no hassle with charging. The headset pieces work great and whisper mode audio clarity is very nice. the only beef i have is with the headset. it does not come with any clip on the wire to attach to a collar or clothing. The ear piece is too large to fit into my 12 year old son's ear properly, but we were able to get it to stay in place quite easily and comfortably with the airsoft face masks on.
I would recommend this to anyone. Don't buy a COBRA brand radio, total garbage!

After using them occasionally for a couple weeks, they both shut down on their own at different times. This, even though the battery level indicator showed a full battery on both. Will be seeking a return and looking at Motorolas instead.

I received my two-way radios and they're great!! We bought we them because we wanted to keep in contact with our daughter within our condo community and for this purpose they work the best. However, they were advertised to have a 36 mile range and my husband and I tried talking via the the two-way just a few miles apart and in my opinion that claim was definitely not true. But for the purpose stated above they worked out wonderfully.

I have worked with countless gmrs radios and to advertise these as anything more than 2 or 3 miles is a ridiculous exaggeration. I wouldn't buy them for that alone.

I got this products last november 2012 during the black Friday season. I was looking for my first two radios to home use and use on the farm. I was considering a Motorola Model and then I selected the Midland because they were on special ($52) and they have the 36 mile range and waterproof.
Since the beginning they battery did not last and I considered it was normal. I have to swtich batteries among the radios and they charge for a whole night and they worked perfectly. However, one battery always dies first and the problem again continues. You keep the charging and one would no charge until you switch again batteries among them. This really should not be happening.
Now that I am reading the reviews, the problem is common, the batteries are deffective in these models. The sound is cristal clear and again the most I can get in the open range (country side) is just 3-4 miles.

Well made. Good reception. I used in a city and am able to communicate even while in basement at a distance of about 7-10 miles.
