The product is decent, but not very useful for my applications. I am a supervisor for a security company which provides service to bars, dance clubs, sports leagues, and other clients.
In the bars and dance clubs, any loud music totally distorts the sender's voice, no matter how it is held, pointed, or oriented. Whisper mode with the Security Headsets I bought with it helps a little, but it's often a best-guess as to what is being said. Any dense metal nearby (such as an overhead I-beam) completely scrambles the transmission, whether or not the metal is in the line-of-sight to the receiver.
At our sports league (a large indoor facility with brick walls), reception is decent, but ranges over 200ft get incrementally staticy, and often require transmission repeats.
When using the PTT, the button must be held for one full second before transmitting. While I appreciate the value of this to prevent accidental keying, it is inconvenient when calling a colleague for an emergency situation.
There is little difference between the range of the low-power FRS and high-power GMRS channels, maybe only a 10% increase in range, and even that is at the cost of clarity. I would expect an increase from 0.5 W to 5 W to give a more pronounced range and clarity boost. I haven't tested this in the open yet, but the range is still disappointing. I understand that the "36 miles" is pretty much only valid on open water, but I expected at least 3 to 6 miles in the city; I am lucky if I get more than 6 to 8 blocks (and that's with pervasive static). Our old Kenwood radios at least get a mile, and I didn't have to pay $85 for an FCC license to use them.
The included boom mic headsets are atrocious. I can't speak to the sound quality on them, because they're always transmitting. All six of them (I bought three pairs of radios) seem to have a short in the PTT that makes it continually transmit, with intermittent (less than one second duration) breaks. I am still working with Midland to resolve this. I am glad that I bought the separate security headsets, or the radios would be totally useless to me.
I like the feature set, especially the dual-monitor. WX band has poor reception, but I suspect that's largely due to the city environment (even though my city has a NWS station). The programming is fairly straight-forward, but the manual does not go into much detail about the "Group Mode" and how it can be used. The "Direct Call" feature is tone-only, while the description implies that it supports and private conversation (which it does not). The "Call" button is too-easily pressed, and we are plagued with accidental 5-second call tones (the Call button is not locked by the "Key Lock" feature).
Battery life is much better than other radios I've owned, about 24 hours of use on FRS channels (haven't tested extensively on GMRS high-power, but I imagine it's less). The battery indicators do not accurately reflect the amount of battery life actually remaining; the display typically goes from 3 bars "full" to zero bars "almost dead". There is very little warning that the battery is about to die, and this causes problems for us.
The radio itself is not very durable. On one radio, the belt clip snapped off while I was attaching it to my belt. On another occasion, with the radio clipped to my belt behind my back, the antenna snapped off when I leaned back against a wall (and not even with all of my weight)! I'm afraid of what might happen if the radio is accidentally dropped or bumped in my line of work.
This is decent, durable radio for quiet, open surroundings. If you plan to operate in the city or in a loud environment, or in any situation where you wouldn't put a china vase, keep your expectations fairly low and you'll be happy. Is it worth the price? Absolutely. Does it deliver on ts promises? Not even close.

These are really great radio's for what my fiance utilizes them for. Hunting hunting and more hunting. But he is very please with the speed of getting them, ease of ordering and of course the quality of the radio.

I ordered these as a way of communicating with family. They work good in town or open flat land but if you have a hill you get less than a 1 mile range. They do connect with up well with other walkie talkies and they have a good battery life. I just wanted something a little more like a c.b. than what these are.

This pair will work, but with so many options that you can easily make them unable to communicate.
In reality the user manual is woefully inadequate for a new user. You find yourself guessing on settings when setting them up, and the manual is very tiny print. This set needs a setup video or DVD!

They work great and are easy to use.I don't get anywhere near the 50 mile it is rated at but I live in a city like area with a lot of houses close to each other so I know that will affect the performance.I get about a mile reception

These radios work great. Very clear sound and good range (I can get 6 or 7 miles in rolling hill country). They hold a charge for a long time, too. My only complaint is that the menu and icons are not very intuitive, and you usually need to have the manual to make changes. The battery door seems fragile, so time will tell how that holds up.
For those who complained about the range only being a mile or two: have you tried a different channel? You will get more range out of the GMRS frequencies.
Update: one of the latches broke that holds the battery door on. Midland needs to improve that flimsy design!

I've used these twice so far and they have worked well each time. I got separated snowboarding from a friend and these definitely came in handy. I recommend buying these if you're looking for a good two way radio system.

These radios are great. We live in a very mountainous area, so we don't get the 36 mile range, it's closer to about 10. However, if you're within range, there are plently of channels to eliminate interference. Great if you don't want to have to call somebody.

We spent some time evaluating what was on the market and chose this walkie talkie because it looked good. We have had problems with them as the batteries die even when the walkie is new. They frequently have to be rebooted to function. They are too big and clumsy to carry around. The company is good about replacing them, but it takes our time and doesn't feel like they will be reliable for the long haul.

I like the utility of them they serve me well. It is effective at about 2 miles in poor conditions. That is much better that my other radios witch if you get out of line of sight they almost don’t work.

Excellent radios for the price! Not water proof but splash resistant. My cousin dropped one in the water accidently but quickly grabbed it out before it hit the bottom and it was fine. Having said that; I would not recommend submerging them for long periods. A good charge over night the night before, will give you hours of constant working time and some to spare. Good clear communication and VOX/TX ability makes using them hands free, awesome. A must have for kayakers, hikers, hunters etc. I was at least 3 miles LOS from my cousin who was paddling the other side of the lake and was speaking to him, no problems what so ever.

I skimmed a few posts but not that many so my review may be a little repetitive. To advertise these as 36 mile range should subject this company to federal fraud charges...but in their defense all of the companies in the handheld radio market use this reference. I guess if one were in a NASA space ship talking to an astronaut on the surface of the moon 35.9 miles away this might work but in my experience you might get a mile range in good conditions...so explain to me the 36 mile claim??? Anyway my point is these are still nice radios given all of the other manufacturers claim the same thing with no better result. Battery life on my has been fine and I have been using them for a year or so. Sound is great, et etc etc. I don't like the included headphones as they are uncomfortable but I rarely use them anyway so I have not bothered to find a better alternative. So good sound, durability, battery, and all of the other claims...36 mile range my...um...my... well you know...my butt...can I say that? Good luck.

This is my first set of radios. I am very pleased with the overall functionality of these radios. Once we got them synced together they were so simple to use. They have withstood my children dropping them from treetops and being ran over with the 4 wheeler. The range is another wonderful feature. They have managed to reach asfar as we have tested and that was at least 3 miles. I would definately buy these again if only for the durability. I have not had a problem with the battery yet but only time will tell.
