Quality

I am impressed with the range and sound quality.

What i like:- simple to use and operate- good battery life- good range/ distance.

Seriously, these are not turn on and talk devices.

The in ear set that comes with the kit is garbage.

Price

Very pleased with what they could do for the price

This is an excellent value for this unit.

I bought this set for less than $60.

Don’t expect to get an amazing radio out of a budget set up.

Packaging/appearance

Nice package of radios and extra parts

Opening the box i was suprised, even though i knew what was in the box, at the contents.

Bought the 2 pack with the foldable antenna.
