Walkie Talkies,MOICO Long Range Walkie Talkies for Adults Two-Way Radios with 22 Channels FRS VOX Scan LCD Display with LED Flashlight for Field, Survival Biking Hiking Camping 2 Pack (Blue)

These work as expected. We only go about 1/4 mile away from each other but it’s easy for the kids (5 and 8) to use and helps keep contact in case anything comes up

We bought these long-range walkie-talkies for family camping trips so we could keep tabs on our children while giving everyone a little freedom to roam. As actual walkie-talkies, they work very well. The sound is clear, the range has been great for campground use, and they have held up nicely outdoors. The only flaw in our system is that apparently owning more than one walkie-talkie requires our children to know where more than one walkie-talkie is at any given time, which has proven to be an advanced skill. At least one usually disappears into a sleeping bag, backpack, or some mysterious location known only to them. So while the product itself works exactly as hoped, perfection may still depend on whether your children can remember where they last set things down.

Communication, But Don't Expect Extreme Range I purchased these walkie-talkies for outdoor activities and general communication, and overall they've been pretty decent for the price. Setup was simple, the menus were easy to navigate, and the built-in flashlight is a nice bonus feature. The sound quality was clear when communicating over shorter distances, and the batteries seemed to last a reasonable amount of time. The biggest downside was the range. Despite being advertised as long-range radios, they struggled once we got around 300 yards apart with buildings, trees, and other obstacles in the way. Communication became unreliable and sometimes difficult to understand. In open areas they performed better, but they definitely didn't meet my expectations for long-distance use. Pros: ✔ Easy to use ✔ Clear audio at short distances ✔ Lightweight and comfortable to carry ✔ Handy built-in flashlight ✔ Good value for the price Cons: ✘ Range was disappointing ✘ Started losing signal around 300 yards in real-world conditions ✘ Not ideal if you need dependable long-distance communication Overall, I'd give these 4 stars. They're a solid budget option for camping, events, around the property, or keeping in touch with family nearby.

These are not my first set of small radio walkie talkies, so I have some experience with them and this help me set my expectations. Our needs were specific with these in that my wife had foot surgery and has regular need to assistance from me throughout the day and night. As this is a long recovery (3 months) I felt like we needed to replace our failed set of radios that had finally died with something similar. I chose these and we have been very pleased. She can easily get my attention before speaking with the call signal (sent by pressing the speak button twice rapidly) and then we communicate. We are both pleased with the clarity and volume for $20.00 radios. We also picked orange and black which is hard to lose...and the clip on the back goes on a pocket, belt, or collar quite easily. We have not used them between vehicles BUT we have used them between her being inside while I was outside and they worked well in spite of the fact that our house has foil faced insulation and virtually no radio signals go in or out through it. Distance on our property might be an issue if I were to go farther afield, but I am staying close during this time. When I leave for short trips we simply switch to cell phones. The only issue we face, as some have pointed out, is battery consumption. I do not really believe they are any worse than any of the other radios we have used. We turn them off when we are in the same room or if I am within earshot of her. Some days they are on constantly (until bed time) and we still get several days out of each set of 4 AAA batteries. Would it be nice if they had rechargeable battery packs? Sure, but at a $20.00 price point I do not see that happening. Once she is back on her feet later this summer I will take the batteries out of them, store them away in the office, until we have brief need of them again. They are great for two people matching switches and outlets to breakers on different floors for instance. If you want to go the rechargeable route for more constant use, definitely do so! But for us these are just for a while, and then they will go up on a shelf.

I got these for my husband and I since we moved (we have a lot of land and he loves to be outside) and we are were having a baby. Him and I have really enjoyed having these. Its a fun and easy way to tell each other quick little things like food is ready or someone needs water. So far I haven't had any problems with the range. Everywhere we have used them, the range has worked and they have come in clear. I would say the range is good because I have had someone talk through them that was not me or my husband. If you are looking for a fun quick way to tell people in your family things (without them having to pick up their phone), I would recommend getting these!

These walkie talkies are a good value for the price. They are relatively easy to use once they are set up. I used these with Amazon Basics AAA 850 mAh NiMH rechargeable batteries , and the battery life was very good. You'll need an external charger, you can't recharge the batteries inside the walkie talkies. The voice sound quality is very good, I didn't have any problems with extraneous noise or distortion. The built-in flashlight is not very bright, but it's convenient if you need to read something. Note that these are reasonably well built, but not what I would call rugged. They are not weather sealed. If you need something for wet conditions or conditions where the walkie talkies will be banged around a bit, these are probably not the right choice (but you'll need to pay quite a bit more for more rugged units). If you are transporting these walkie talkies, you may want to remove the batteries while in transit. It's easy to accidentally press the power button to turn a unit on, running down the batteries unintentionally. There's no way to lock the power button. One big problem I found with the Amazon description of these walkie talkies is the use of the phrase "Long Range," and the claim of 2W maximum transmission power. This is somewhat misleading. The FCC allows up to 2W of transmit power on channels 1-7 and 15-22 (other channels are limited to 0.5W). The manufacturer's description on Amazon of these walkie talkies includes the claim "The maximum transmission power is limited to 0.5 watts or 2 watts depending on the channel." However, the manual states that the transmission power is less than or equal to 0.5W, apparently on any channel (see image of manual page). This indicates that on most channels, only 1/4 of the maximum transmit power is available on these devices. This wouldn't be a problem if the manufacturer didn't claim 2W transmission power and "Long Range." If you just need basic walkie talkies, these are a good value, but if you really need long range, you can find other (more expensive) devices that have much higher transmit power.

Reliable walkie talkies!

These walkie talkies are such a fun throwback! They honestly take me right back to the 90s, and my kids love them just as much as I did growing up. It’s been really nice seeing them play, use their imagination, and stay connected around the house and outside. They’re also surprisingly practical. I like having them as a simple way to communicate, and they could definitely come in handy in an emergency when phones aren’t an option. Great mix of fun and functionality definitely worth it!
