The radio build quality is great, feels much better than the Motorola Talkabout that I own (which were 3 handsets for the price of these 2 handsets).
However, the marketing advertisement of 36-miles range is totally bogus. Technologically this is limited by the output wattage of the radios. Under ideal hypothetical test conditions, the transmitter can do 36-miles given the wattage output of the radios. However, in real world situations, these radios gave me a work test range (suburbs of New York City) of just under 3-miles (in the dead of night, so not much cars around). Which is pretty damn good considering that my Motorola Talkabout radios had only about a 2-mile range.
The 50-channel is totally crap. As someone else posted, the "extra" channels are just a bunch of FRS/GMRS channels with CTSS codes pre-programmed by Midland (which are pretty useless to me, until I can use my scanner to find out what those channel settings are so I can use them my Motorola radios). Too bad Midland does not allow you to change these programmed channels; if they did, that would made this an awesome radio.
The dual channel scan feature is great. However, the feature is turned off automatically, once you turn off the radio and turn it back on. Wish it didn't do that.
The NOAA Weather Alert works nicely, just like they do on the Motorola Talkabout radios.
The added car charger adapter is a great bonus for using these radios in the car on a long road trip with other cars.
I have not really used the headsets, so I cannot really comment on their real-world usage quality. They work, is all I can say.
Would I buy these again? Heck yeah! I am actually waiting for them to be available again here at Amazon to order a set for my friend.
For my personal use it's very nice.

The only real disappointment was with the headsets that come with the radios. We did not find them very functional or comfortable. They would have been better off to not include them and reduce the price a few dollars. The upgrade version invisible headsets are excellent and worth the money.

We contacted Midland about the problems we were having. They wouldn't refund them but offered to replace them instead. We looked at their record--four radios out of four were complete junk--and decided not to bother with replacements.
These radios are a serious waste of money!!! Buy Motorolas instead, as we should have done. Hopefully this warning will help you avoid serious buyers remorse.
1. Wisper mode works great! When I go hunting In a party there is a high premium placed on quietness. Being able to wisper in the mic and have everyone hear what I'm saying is awesome.
2. 5 watts of output power is the best on the market.
3. Waterproof do I need to explain this one ?
4. The caller I'd thing is cool but you would really need more than 2 sets cause otherwise you probably know who's calling you.
In short I'm glad I have stuck with this brand, and I look forward to buying some accesories in the future.
While I have not had a chance to test the ultimate range, I can say that we got clear reception over a few miles in rough terrain where we had absolutely no line of sight.
The radio's came charged and it took almost two whole days (mostly on standby) for one of the units to alert to a low battery.
The charger is GREAT! The radio's clip into the charger base so they have a positive connection and I have even charged them in the charger laying down (backs of the radios to the floor) on the front seat or tranny hump while driving offroad with no problems and a constant charge light.
I ordered the in the ear head sets with the PTT and so have not used the headsets included with the package. However I did try one on when they arrived and wasn't too impressed, the in the ear buds are the way to go.
Overall, these are great radios especially for the price. In fact I'm ordering another pair for the rest of our hunting party.
unfortunately i lost one of those "clips" to cath in my pocket...
i was wondering if they could sell it separetly!
I tried calling the helpline number to get help but they were not open. So I had to sit down & figure it out on my own. Took me a while but it worked at last.
Pros: Cost, range, splash proof, headsets
Cons: heavy, cumbersome setup, poor support
P.S. One note, battery in one of the radios did die, but I was able to just use AA's and it's been great!
