Title: They work as expected.
Review: If you're looking for something with distance, these work well in open space but the more stuff in between you and the other person the less you can use them. They are clear and loud enough but the battery life isn't all that great, I get about a day and a half in stand by mode with the rechargeable battery's included but I would imagine with quality Batts they will last longer. I give 5 stars for the price, In my opinion they were a good buy!

Title: A reliable radio for any use.
Review: IAfter trying several different sets of walkie talkies I found this set by Cobra genuinely meet their advertised specs. The audio was clear even over miles of open distance. The screen was easy to read in both day and night times. The battery life lasted a good while. This is a product to keep for a long time.

Title: Fantastic compared to others I have tried!
Review: I tried the similar unit by midland. Midland would not hold a charge more than 8 hours plus the range was really bad based on tests around my neighborhood. What I learned while reading reviews of this cobra was to try other batteries so I ordered rechargeable Duracell 2450 mAh batteries. What a huge difference in longevity that made! Also, I bought a plug in battery charger which speeds up charging. It does come with a charging base that holds two units. I also read that don't use any charging units or cords that charges two units at a time. You can use any single mini usb charging cord. Yesterday I took a walk about a half a mile in my neighborhood (lots of homes and tons of trees) and set the unit to low power and it worked like a champ. I was grinning ear to ear, finally a walkie talkie that performs very well. It's study and lots of features. One warning, it didn't come with an instruction book. I had to email the company and they sent me a 13 page pdf file which I printed out (large enough to read too). I really dislike buying junk equipment but at this price compared to other brands, this thing is a Rolls Royce in quality and performance. I would but it again for sure!

Title: UPDATE NOT SO Very Good Radios.... WON'T TURN OFF
Review: ANOTHER UPDATE: NOW BOTH RADIOS WILL NOT TURN 'OFF'. HAVE TO REMOVE A BATTERY TO TURN THEM OFF. UPDATE ONE YEAR ON: Range seems to have decreased. One handset now will not turn off with the button so I have to remove the battery to shut it down. NOW DISAPPOINTED. Very good pair of radios Wife and I caravan an RV and a SUV to a campground and we use these vehicle-to-vehicle enroute and spotting the RV in the camp and back in the storage lot - much better than hand signals or screaming! Bought these to replace a set of Midlands that failed after only a year. Love the fact that you can just use AA Batteries if required and ADORE the constant, on-screen battery level display. Like most electronic devices these days, it is over-complicated with features I'll probably never use but I did figure out how to go to a private frequency to avoid interference from other radio users. Each radio has a micro USB plug so it can be charged without the charging stand. The charging stand is also USB and it comes WITHOUT an A/C adapter so it has to be plugged into a USB outlet. The menus were slightly difficult to use but I finally figured out how to turn off the vibration upon receiving a transmission thingie. Lots of features that I would use hunting (earphone jacks etc) but not why I bought the radios. Lost one star over the menus and lack of the A/C adapter only.

Title: Good radios, used daily
Review: I was reordering these after losing one of them while elk hunting. They work very well and usually surprise me how far the get through forest areas. From the top of the mountain, I confirmed a 4 mile capability down to main road with perfect clarity. We use them daily from house to barn and they hold up well. We have broken the belt clips on a couple of them in the past, so you really need to put them in a pocket or keep them where you don't snag them on something. Flashlight on bottom has been very handy during some extended power outages after winter storms this year. So has the weather radio. I really like the fact that you can charge these individually by plugging a mini USB into the top of the radio, as well as 2 at a time on the charger. As I have cables in every vehicle and room of the house for phones, I can charge them anywhere. Very clear if used properly. I can even understand our 6 yr old after coaching her not to try eating it while talking on it. If you have never used a radio like this, read the instructions as you can get yourself in trouble for using the wrong channels. We picked a channel and keep it as the only one our family uses as we are not professional radio operators.

Title: One unit failed.
Review: Saw these on a you tube site and were well liked. These worked great but one of the units failed. They had light indoor use between my grandson and myself so donât know what caused one to fail. Pretty unhappy about it. It was fun to interact with my grandson for the time they both worked.
