Great radios! Work very well. I use these in a mountainous area and have no problem with clarity and reception. I would recommend these.

The radios performed better than I expected. I never expected to get anywhere near the 36 mile advertised range. I tested these radios in mountainous and heavily forested terrain and got 3/4 of mile range at full power, but in line-of-sight they operated very clearly for 5 miles on high power. I use these for hiking in rugged terrain and they do well. I mostly use them for car-to-car communication when traveling and they do a good job. I did purchase the Eneloop batteries for much longer battery life and I use the factory batteries for a backup. The factory battery is rated at 700 MAH while Eneloop batteries are rated at 1,900 MAH for more than 2 1/2 times the battery life. I've used a lot of two-way radios over 10+ years, and these radios perform the best. The speaker is louder than most radios for easier listening. I would purchase another set.

After owning a pair of the predecessor GXTs, I came back to get the new features on this model. I'm VERY pleased.
The range is definitely not 36 miles (as expected) but good enough to reach my hunting buddies several miles across the ranch.
Battery life is fantastic. They will last an entire weekend without turnin them off. I like this because it's easy to forget to turn them off when you get back to the lodge. Wake up the next day, and they're still ready to go. If your batteries DO die, you can always switch to AA batteries in a pinch and your radios won't know the difference.
The headsets are pretty good. I like that they're lightweight; They don't feel like they're going to fall off.
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend Midland products; Especially this one. And I'll probably be back in a few months to get another pair for backup.

I read many reviews and selected this item thinking I had the best available in the pricerange. First time using walkie-talkies, but I am familiar with marine radios. It was purchased solely to take on a large cruise ship. It worked intermittently, but that is not really adequate. We could usually tell we were being called from 4-8 decks away through the ship, but without really knowing for sure or understanding any message. Sometimes it was other people on the frequency (who had to be on the ship). Sometimes we could not even tell when we were being called. This was at highest power and highest volume on channel 8. Sometimes it would work very clearly, even from an inside cabin to inside the elevators or up to the Lido deck, but like I said, if it is not totally dependable, it is not satisfactory (to my way of thinking).
Onshore, its range was disappointing, giving much less than a mile range through moderate brush and palmettos from inside a car. We tried this twice. It worked once and failed once.
They worked perfectly car to car while we were caravaning to the cruise terminal. Through downtown Tampa during rain we could talk with the other driver even when we could not see him.
The many options involving groups, privacy and security were too confusing, so we did not use them, so we often were interupted by others using the same common frequencies. This was distracting and caused us to usually just turn off the devices. We did not try the earphones. We had no problem with battery life.
We saw someone else on the ship using the yellow Motorola set, and he claimed they worked, without saying more. We also saw others carrying Cobra units, but we did not ask if they worked.
Around our yard (lightly wooded 2 acres) they work great, and our 5 year old loves them. It was hard for her to squeeze the PTT button at first, but now she can.
The weather bands work great, and I intend to use the device boating.
Overall they give a feeling of quality, and it may well be the best model in the pricerange. We will keep them and find other times to use them. And when we cruise again we will take them along, but they are not consistently dependable enough for cruise ships if you really need to rely on them.

This is a good radio, as good or better than anything out there (of the same types). They work very well within a mile of so......but if you get down in a swamp or a creek bottom do not expect to get a lot more distance. We have an 800 acre lease we hunt, and cannot consistently talk from one end to the other. We all have radios for safety,and to provide assistance, and sometimes conversations have to be relayed. That being said...we all have them and rely on them.This model has a lot of features. It can be used with or without the ear buds. For hunting I do not use the ear buds as you can reduce the volume to its lowest setting and still know when someone is keying the mic, and it is not loud enough to alert anything around you. I have had conversations( in a whisper) with my son while hunting with a flock of turkeys 10 yards away. If they can't hear it ....nothing will. Of course we set everything on the radio to silent modes , no beeps when keyed, no calls etc. One thing is nice too, you can set your call to sound like a crow....which is common in my area.
Good product,but realize it's limitations. This is my second set.....so that tells you something.

i recently purchased these two way radios and was very impressed with the quality. the only draw back was when the hands free feature is on the ear buds pick up a lot of background noise, and even on whisper mode u have to whisper kind of loud for them to pick up your sound which normally cuts off the first word of ur sentence.

I havent had these long enough to test the longevity of these two-way radios but so far I am pretty impressed. I replaced our older two-ways that we had for 5 years or so (Motorola 520 talk abouts) that held up pretty good but had nowhere the rage & features these raios have. I use them for 3 purposes (work, hunting & woods paintball) and so far I have used them for 2 out of the 3 (hunting soon upon us)to where I am impressed with them. Lets get the 36 mile range ordeal out of the way first... no way is it going to even get that close in a "normal" enviroment such as most of us live (city, valleys, building & etc.) but it has longer range than our other two-ways that we replaced. Depending on the curcumstance we get around 2 to 5 miles, in which the 5 mile is based off when we were working outside of town as a co-worker had run into town to get a few things as we did reach him with the two way... it was faint but never the less we were able to chat. The previous two-ways we had would reach around a mile or 2 (give or take) as they had held up farily well but were not water proof (hince the replacement). One of our guy had dropped the two way (our new Midalnd) in a standing pool of water on the job site as it is still working today (about a week has gone by)so the "water proof" test is as described. We do miss the "rotating" belt clip that the Motorolas had but these are not to bad as we have gotten use to then.
The features are pretty well designed, even though most of us will probley never use them all. The weather station is a good addition sine we work outside alot, came in handy a couple of times. The ear piece(s) are a blessing, we can hear eachother better now over the loud equipment. Havent tried the "whiper" mode yet but maybe soon during hunting... or paintball. These units fit real well in the palm of your had as the buttons are well placed, the Motorola had a nice feel to it as well since it was curved a bit to a palm but the were around 2" smaller in length (that may be a plus to some but I fell the bigger the better).
I was looking to buy another Motorola set but I came across these at a very good price ($50 at the time I bought it, a bit more expensive now as I am typing this review). I have never had a Midland series before so I thought "why not try it", well worth it so far! I have had Motorla (good) and Uniden (not good) so I can base my review only off the units that I have had in the past. All in all.... I believe its a great deal!

These are pretty cool walkie talkie style two way radios. They are loaded with features, but... and I do mean BUT, the reception is nowhere near 36 miles. I wasn't expecting 36 miles... I was hoping for something like 3-5 miles. These are great around the house - but even on the high power setting, they were so full of static that I couldn't hear my friend while standing outside, down a 2 mile stretch of straight vacant road (at 2AM). I bought these realizing that 36 miles was over open water (with a stiff breeze blowing your transmission toward the receiver...haha) but I definitely was disappointed with only two miles line of sight. Fun for close proximity, but for camping or survival purposes - don't waste your money, you may as well use a loud voice.

These radios cant be beat for the price. Amazon has these for in the $60 dollar range where Bass Pro has the same ones for $100. I use them for deer hunting and they are perfect. Clear and easy to use. I also use them in the car when we go on vacation. The distance is very impressive especially in the woods. I had some cobras but I couldnt hear my uncle when he was down in a valley hunting. Everyone else I could hear pretty good. Now with these Midlands everyone is crystal clear. I also use the Noah Radio stations for a weather report, comes in handy when you are deer hunting but I also use Noah radio at home to. The charger is AC or DC which makes it great also. Great product Great price, you cant go wrong with these radios.

I purchased these for a recent family cruise that I went on. We brought our child and wanted a good way to communicate with the mother in law if she had the baby. Out of the box the radios were set up easily in group mode. It is nice that you can page a specific radio. Also with the VOX you can set one radio up to use as a baby monitor. That being said. These radios had almost no range in the boat. After the 2nd day of the seven day cruise they were turned off and packed up. I am not much of a camper so in the wilderness I dont know how well they will work. I would not recommend these to use if your plans are for a cruise. They will be put in the garage and used as an expensive toy for my child.

Just perfect, just what i need when i practice Airsoft with my friends.
in the city with all the interferences and buildings u can get a distance of 1.5 kilometres, that's a lot for such a small radio
but.. dont know why one of the radio when im with 30 peoples playing airsoft, it start to receive some statics and no one is touching their radio

Granted, intercom systems are difficult to install in motorcycles. But still I bought these for a trip I'd been planning with my best friend to the Isle of Man TT race. We fiddled with it the entire time and at the end of the trip we still didn't have it working properly. We are both engineers and we had a lot of help.

I love these! These kept our hiking party connected through out our hike on Mt Whitney, even from miles away. No interference detected from the granite walls surround us either. Delivery was timely and packaging was sufficient to protect the contents. Thank you! Definitely will order from you guys again.

Of the 4 sets of radios we purchased, 2 of the 4 have not worked properly since we unpacked them and first charged the batteries. There are mechanical problems with the talk buttons. I have not had this problem before but am very displeased with these radios.

Got the radios and couldn't wait to try them out so we ventured out around the neighborhood, one in a car and one in the house. The range was about a mile before it started to break up. But that is about what was expected with the interferences of the car, house and trees. Took the radios to Atlantis, and they worked great. Really only got seperated by about 3/4 of a mile, but they worked great even with the Royal Towers (23 stories) in between us. Batteries lasted about a day, even without much talking, but we did lock them on high output. Definietly beat paying international phone rates and will come in handy for more trips.

I needed a product that would work between buildings and upper and lower floors. Range would be about 50 yards. A cheaper model did not work out for us, however these work great.

I bought these for a trip to Colorado skiing and they worked great on the mountian even with all the other radio traffic going on with ski racing and ski patrol all using radios as well as the mountian staff. took a few minutes with the directions to get all the opitions the way I wanted them. After using them on this trip I am considering buying anohter set to have 4 radios. I recommend them to any one looking for a good two way.

got these radios about 2yrs ago and they are still going strong. very customizeable in the menu and the battery packs last forever. great product to rely on when your out and about and need a good way to communicate with the rest of your group ie: being at an amusement park, hiking/outdoors, sports and hobbies, and anything else you'd use a radio for!

I've had several other kinds of walkie-talkie type radios. These Midland radios are the first ones I ever liked. They functioned really well over an open area about 550 yards without problem. The battery life was very good. I really like the ear pieces. At about 600 yards on an open range, the signal wasn't all that reliable anymore, but I was using one of the short range frequencies that you don't need a license to use. People must understand that 36-mile range requires you to use a channel that you have to have a license to use.
All in all, I really like the radios.

Used two sets of these for event staffing with included headsets. Worked well and had plenty of range for what was needed, but the included headsets were kind of hard to understand with noise around. The radios themselves are nice, but I probably would replace the headset with something better if you will be in a loud environment.

Rugged, like the weather radio option, farthest we could get them to work was 4 miles. Kids like to use them when we go hiking in State parks.
