Cobra RX680 Walkie Talkies (2-Pack) - Rugged & Splashproof Two Way Radios Long Range, IP54 Water Resistant Design, 60 Pre-Programmed Channels, Weather Alerts, Included Charging Dock (Black/Orange)

Works great with the kids. Easy to use, very quick response when transmitting and receiving. Previous set of inexpensive units took almost 1/2 second to connect; these respond quickly.Only issue is the advertised 32 mile max range. That would have to be in free space or in the middle of an ocean or sea, or from a two mile high peak. High power mode is 1.5 watts and that stretches out to 2-3 miles on a good day in the real world.

I purchased these radios to stay connected with my family while cycling, and they’ve exceeded our expectations. Communication is crystal clear, and we get such a kick out of hearing others occasionally chime in—it's like an unexpected group chat on wheels! While you can use the CTCSS or DCS codes for privacy (especially for personal or sensitive conversations), we actually enjoy the open-channel banter and treat it like being in a public space—respectful and mindful.One feature I really appreciate is that in the event of an emergency, we can be heard by others, which gives us peace of mind. That’s why we haven’t enabled full privacy—safety comes first. These walkies have brought out my inner kid again, and I absolutely LOVE using them.#HTWHEELZ Out 🚴🏽‍♀️📻✨

Works well but battery and distance could be better. But these are better then most brands ive tried!

Range all depends on terrain, buildings, trees, etc. I did a test with my daughter and was a mile away and they worked excellent! Further than that, up to 3 miles, she could hear me, but i couldn't hear her. We have mountains and buildings all around us, so i wasn't surprised. I basically purchased so we could use in areas where there was no cell phone service...camping, events etc. Weather alert modes and the LED flashlight are an added bonus. So, these will fit the bill perfectly! Also, the units are very rugged and waterproof. Before ordering, make sure you read....the distance they transmit is based on so many factors....don't expect to talk from 32 miles away...that's absurd....that's a best case scenario. If you want that distance, spend 5x more. The people saying they are hard to set up, are clueless. These were super easy to set up....*hint*, read the manual!!! Totally satisfied!

They suck. Range is terrible. Anything over a few yards and you can’t hear anything. Forget going outside or walking around the neighborhood. These are basically good only if you can see the person you’re trying to talk to.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:No problems and wide range and battery life!! Definitely worth the cost and would recommend absolutely!!

We use these in a mid-size grocery store to communicate with other employees.PROS:-Excellent range (signal travels through steel/concrete well)-Clear communication with minimum static/interference (unless next to each other - see below)-Lots of bells and whistles including a huge range of channels and sub-channelsCONS:-They don't like to be next to each other - they will squeal like a pig in heat if you try to talk in one whileanother is on and near you - we have to turn the other off or move at least 3 feet away in order to talk-The antenna is quite long and can dig into your side when crouching if placed on your belt (or apron pocket likewe have)-Brittle charging ports - several have broken or bent on us when trying to insert the micro USB charging cable(be very careful when plugging it in to avoid damaging it)I'd imagine these would work best for situations where people aren't working near each other. If you need radios while working near other people who have one close by, you may want to search for a different brand.

Great for a multi car road trip. When cell service was lacking, we were able to keep in touch with the other cars in our caravan. Once we got to the lake, these were great to find out where everyone was at any given time. Maximum distance used was maybe 2 miles apart. Would recommend
