I only bought these because I needed a radio I could use with a military style throat mic. The radios perform as I expected, just don't expect an actual 36 mile conversation. Seems to work great up to about 2 miles, occasionally farther, but usually closer. The base charger has an AC (wall), and a DC (cigarette lighter) plug, that can also plug directly into the radios, and all of it works well. I use the radios while on the motorcycle (with loud pipes), and (using the throat mic), I am able to communicate with my wife on her bike, as well as anybody else sharing the same channel using any brand of similar radio. These are tough enough for fairly rugged use, and will survive light rain (verified personally). I'm not a fan of the dual pin plug set up, which forces you to buy specific accessories from the same manufacturer... It's smart for them, sucks for us. All in all, I would buy these again for the exact reason I bought them in the first place.

All I wanted was reliable, clear 2 way communication over a reasonable distance in hilly desert area. That's what I got. Works great, and the batteries remain charged all day long. On second hike radio was lost down a steep shale hill over a 10 foot drop. Once realized, was able to backtrack and use the call feature to locate the lost radio. When found I couldn't believe it was still in one piece and still working great!

Really liked this. Purchased for my son for Christmas. He gave one to a friend over night that leaves two miles away and they could still communicate all night. Would definitely recommend.

Don't buy this product. The power supply / charger is bad out of the box. I should have read the other reviews, and never purchased this product. Midland apparently doesn't test their products before shipping to the consumer.

Overall a good radio. Range met expectations. Good clarity. PTT button hard to push. Batteries are crap, but that is to be expected for the cost. I have never found GMRS/FRS batteries to work well anyway. Any GMRS/FRS radio I've had, I end up using the rechargeable camera quality AAA or AA batteries. They are quicker to charge and work better. If you are needing a good GMRS/FRS radio, this a good choice for the price.

The radios wouldn't even talk to each other when in the same room, or 100 feet away from each other. I didn't check them at 36 miles....why bother. Oh yes, I did charge them up. They were for all intents and purposes, in working order, but would not communicate. I am a Ham operator so I know how to use radios of this type, it wasnt operator error.

The radios are good with the exception of two things. Used them in a rural area with tress and some small hills, transmitted about 2-3 miles, any further no reception. The privacy channels do not stop other people from hearing you if they are on the same channel, it just stops you and other people on the privacy channel from hearing people talking on the main channel. Lots of options with these radios and the VOX (Voice Activation) is nice

I purchased these looking for a cheap radio to use for communications between mopeds while riding. They have lived up to expectation! I have a 3/4 helmet with a full faceshield and my friend has a 3/4 helmet with a shield only over her eyes. Neither of us had issues with wind noise, even when using VOX! It took a few minutes to find the right sensitivity, but after that we were able to hold full on conversations while riding. Keep in mind, these are two way radios, so you can't both talk at the same time, but there is a distinct beep to let you know when you're clear to talk. Also, the headsets that are included fit comfortably under the helmet. I had forgotten it was there after a few minutes.
Easy to use too! I took them straight out of the box, charged them, plugged in the headsets that were included, found a channel and turned on VOX and was ready to go. Highly recommended for any motorcycle/moped riders looking for cheaper comms than the $300 Scalas or equivalent.

I tried these out a couple days after I received them. We were in a noisy environment (a bar with 200+ people) doing a charity event with a band and had no problem hearing anyone with and without the headsets. The charge lasted all night (7 hours or so) and still was showing a full charge. I intend to use these while camping, shooting, paintballing and as an emergency bag item. They charge in the house and car or use regular AA batteries. Easy to use controls and are not too big. The only thing missing is a "remote" PTT wire to use in paintball, but otherwise a 6 if they'd let me post 6 stars. Tried VOX and it worked really well, I just have to get used to the settings (and learn not to talk to myself). When I have money, I will get 2 more.

Well!! Lets get the most important thing out of the way, that is the range! I live in a typical suburb area. My test was to give my wife one radio and i went for a walk! By the way! My wife was inside the house waching TV during the test. I got to a little over one mile and my signal was getting bad. I think power lines and poor line of site had alot to do with lack of range. You need to remember that these are not cell phones and they will not perform like cell phones! They are for short range comunication and that is all..If you where in a open area, i think you would get very good range.The best uses for these would be Hunting,Camping,Shopping malls,Boating,The fair and staying in touch in a warehouse or Junkyard type workplace. Also great for keeping track of the kids when they are outside playing. Overall! These are great radio's! Take the time to study the manual as there are some very nice function's on these radio,s like the scan and weather alert function's! Thank's and have fun!!!

I had used Audiovox and Midland walk talkie before and I'd say they are all junks. This sets of walkie-talkie is perfect on size for traveling, we use it for our bicycling riding and hiking. Good build quality and the signal distance is good.
The earphone piece can be improved a little bit to be more comfortable, it is too big for our ears.

We use these for ski'ing, very helpful in communicating across the mountain.
Line of site radio's work at the most 2 miles? Didn't really expect much more
than that. Comes with rechargable batteries and lots of features. Very good to
have. One recently is having problems and is still under 3 yr warranty. Emailed Midland received a response in 2? days, not bad. Response though was to check with
Amazon to see if they are their? warranty.
Good radio, good price, plenty of options.
Didn't give 5 stars due to midland support trying to tuff repair onto Amazon
4 might change to a 5.
Hope this helps

My buddy and I use this for staying in touch on the deer lease... the range is OK. We are on 350 acres and don't seem to lose comms even in the bottoms through heavy woods. the accessories are nice. Having the earpiece in prevents the audio from spooking game.

Radios generally are not intended to go through large amounts of steel, concrete or rolling hills. All of these things will absorb or reflect the radio signal, no matter what type of radio is used. This is particularly true for handheld radios which have only 1/2 - 5 watts of power.
Since radio signals are "line of sight", move to higher ground. If you are in a shopping mall, try moving to the second floor. Even if your family member is on a lower floor, that may solve any problems in communicating. As with all radios (including handheld Marine radios), the 36 mile ratings are only while on the water (without obstructions) or from mountain top to mountain top. I agree, these figures probably should not be used for marketing.
With that said, these radios are PHENOMINAL. I was able to transmit and receive a relatively strong signal in San Francisco, over 38 city blocks. There were spots that I did not receive signal, but then I moved to higher ground such as up a small hill. I've used handheld radios before, including CB, FRS/GMRS, Ham, and Military, and I like this one the best so far.
Here are two things that I do not like about this radio. Keep in mind, even with these issues, I still think this set is the best that I've used:
1. The headsets are a joke. I do not know who designed them, but they do not stay in place. The sound quality is OK for the headsets, but the design issue makes them unusable. Just to be clear: unusable.
2. The plastic on the headset is somewhat slick, meaning it would be easy to drop these if not aware of this issue.

Ok, first and foremost, I am not a pro when it comes to radios like this... I am very much an amateur, so I cannot comment of FRS/GMRS or range etc... I simply needed these radios to communicate with my business partner while DJing weddings and I must say - they do the job quite nicely, as I can silence any beeps! These are actually a bit overkill, but I wanted to be able to also use them for outdoor functions (including camping) as well as, talking between vehicles during road trips and for emergencies. These radios very much fit the bill of what I am looking for.
They seem to be pretty well put together and less any damaging falls from a good distance, I expect that they will last for quite a while. I have even used them recently in storms to get the weather forecast. Overall, I am very happy with the radios and I would recommend them to other people.

Pros:
* Comes with just about all the accessories you can think of: home charger, car charger, a headset for each radio.
* My brother dropped one of his radios from about 2 feet and that caused only a minor scratch to the radio.
* We've gotten a bit of snow on the radios and they are water resistant.
Cons:
* The battery life indicator is very poor. The indicator would show full battery life and after a few minutes of usage, the battery low warning would flash.
* While the radio sells itself as having 50 channels, only 8-14 are usable without a license. Channels 1-7 and 15-22 are GMRS channels which require a license. Channels 23 and up are just GMRS channels with the privacy code set. There seem to be many different iterations of the owner's manual for this device. My brother's manual indicates that only channels 8-14 are available. My manual says 1-7 and 15-22 are not available. Midland's most current manual says channels 1-7 and 15-42 are not available. I contacted Midland and received clarification that only 8-14 can be used without a license.
* The FRS channels are set to be lower powered only and the user cannot change this. This severely limits the range.
Perhaps it is an industry standard to misinform the consumer. I feel that this product should indicate up front that only channels 8-14 are available without a license and those channels can only be used in low power mode.

I purchased this set after a lot of research for a walkie talkie set so I could keep track of my 5.5 year old son while he's in our driveway/yard (as I can't see either/both when I'm doing my chores in the house - I am a working mom by the way).
This has great for my son and I to communicate and I'm not yelling or running around looking for him around our house. I eventually expect he'll be playing more with the neighbor kids at their house and this way I can call him home for dinner, etc.
I set his walkie talkie Vox feature on so I hear his 'stream of consciousness' as well as his interactions with other neighborhood kids. The set is durable and has a lock so he can't change the settings. The settings stay upon turning off so he can just 'grab and go' and I don't have to check the settings every time.
Range and battery life hasn't been put to full test - it's been great in and around our yard.

Very good product....my son and brother have Midland radio's; so, it was easy for me to decide. The radio's performed very well in rather wet conditions. Out of the box, it was relatively easy to setup with little to no issues. Nice to see that Midland made little changes from model to model. The antenna seems to be rather 'long' compared to prior models from Midland. However, I would recommend the radio's to anyone. I am sure I will have them for many years to come!
