I understand there are many variables to worry about, but in this case, it meant I had to send them back (+1 for Amazon's amazing customer service), since I couldn't use them.
That said, if you can make the range work (e.g., ski slopes, boating, etc.), I think you are getting a lot of bang for the buck. The kit includes a car charger, and a wall charger, while it also includes 'proprietary' batteries, BUT you can use standard batteries as well! Quality wise, the hardware feels very solid.
So in the end, if you are looking for 2-way radios, I would strongly consider taking a look at these, as long as you get them from a dealer with a great customer service (such as Amazon), since you won't have much to lose should the range not work out.
With that in mind, make sure you unpack it carefully, as the packaging is somewhat frustrating to put back together should you have to send them back.
The included headsets work but aren't very comfortable.
Instructions could be a little clearer.
They say waterproof, but I don't know how you are going to talk underwater.
SIGNAL STRENGTH: Keep in mind that all 2-way FRS radios have the same limitations on power output, so these aren't going to be any stronger (except versus lower-wattage). I tested the signal strength from my house to my office (1.1 miles straight through flat-elevation neighborhood filled with trees), and was on the outer edge of getting reception, but could still communicate. As with all 2-ways, you can't get more than about 1 mile in urban areas, no matter the wattage. BTW, not all channels output at 'High' power (5 watts, these are FCC regulations), so you have to keep this in mind.
FEATURES I LIKE: It comes with rechargeable battery packs, however, you can use AA batteries if you forgot your charger. Also, the battery cover has a hinged plastic clip that must be released to open the battery cover (cover won't pop off if you drop it). The belt clip is spring-loaded and opens pretty wide. The belt clip is removeable using a lever-release clip; the bottom of the clip also has a lip to help keep it on your belt/pocket if you're climbing/crawling/contorting your body. The antenna is fairly stout and stiff, but made from a mildly flexible material to prevent breaking. The radios also have a vibrate feature you can turn on if you're around a lot of noise like me.
THINGS I DON'T LIKE: The charger basestand is very lightweight; to take the radios off the charger, you have to hold down the charger while pulling up on the radio (the charger has a plastic lip that holds them in), otherwise the whole charger and the other radio lift up with it. I suppose i could break the plastic lip off tho.. The only other negative is that these get stolen off a jobsite like they're free donuts. I've had 4 of them stolen in the last 2 years..

Price certainly is excellent.
I'm not even using these in a big city, just a small town setting.
