So far so good. They look new other then the stickers on the bottom for labeling and then having no OEM packaging. One battery was mostly charged while the other needed a few hours to fully charge. They stayed 3 bars of power after being on standby and light testing for over 8 hours so the units and batteries all seem to work well. I was happy surprised they came with the charging cradle. Wish it didn't use the old style USB plug but with the cradle it doesn't matter much. I'll adjust my review if needed after I get actual use out of them. Mostly I'm in hiking groups where I'll use them. I'm expecting them to do better than the cheap ones I've borrowed from people but assume they won't be as nice as the expensive Rockie Talkie.The open box price made these half the cost of just one Rockie Talkie. It is not clear the actual power these use. Other Motorola ones do not use the full allowed power so I assume these also do not. They should be good enough though and use more power and better sound than the cheap ones. If that's not the case I'll lower my review.

Each of our family members has one all day while skiing and they work great. I can be in the lodge and can still hear my kids from the summit, letting me know how they're doing.

This is a pretty full-featured radio set so not the easiest to learn. Works great, fairly small, but thicker than a cell phone and with the external antenna, can still fit in pocket. Comes with removable belt/pocket clips too. I bought the charger/stand to have a good storage spot for both. Comes with rechargeable battery pack and you can also use three AA-batteries.

Tienen buen alcance, son útiles para carretera, los uso para comunicarnos en carretera y tienen buen alcance (aproximadamente 5 a 10 km) dependiendo la velocidad y el lugar,tienen buenas funciones y durabilidad de batería, para lugares donde hay mucho ruido es recomendable tenerlos cerca del oído para escuchar cuando te llaman, pero muy buenos radios

I bought a set to try out for my work to see if these would work for our work environment. They worked so well my work ended up purchasing 12 radios. I would recommend these.Battery Life 5 out of 5No issues at this time works on a 10 hour work day no problem.Range 5 out of 5Unfortunately I we didn’t test for the distance that they were advised. We tested from inside an airplane hangar to another airplane hangar next door. Works great for our situation.Sound Quality 5 out of 5

I bought this radio for yard work. It worked with no problem on low power mode around the yard (about an acre or so). We got bored and decided to test the range. I stayed at the house while two friends drove an atv through the neighborhood. They got to the edge of the neighborhood (3.9 miles according to google maps) and I could still clearly hear them on low power. The wind cancellation is also excellent. I had zero clue my friend was going 20+ mph on an ATV/4-Wheeler while he was talking to me. I used Amazon basics rechargeable batteries instead of the included battery packs and I had excellent battery life. We used them regularly during 8+ hours of yard work and it still showed 3/3 bars of battery life. This was with all the extra features turned on (vibracall, weather alerts, etc.). The emergency alert feature is a nice touch. Thankfully we didn’t need to use it, but we did test it and there is no way we would miss the emergency alert in case someone got hurt and needed immediate attention. Volume of radios is excellent. On full volume you could hear an incoming transmission while driving a zero turn mower (vibracall also helps with this). I cannot speak to the weatherproofing as I have not used them in poor weather, but it does seem to be a nice feature. Overall I am very happy with these radios, and would highly recommend them. They definitely live up to the Motorola name. I currently have 4 of these radios (Motorola talkabout T475), and plan to buy more.

I bought these so the family could stay in touch at Lake Nantahala in NC. There is no cell service at the lake. We kept one in the house and one in the boat and they worked like a charm. I used the high power option of 2 watts and we stayed in touch. We did get out of range when we explored the southern portion of the lake and river. Remember these units are UHF and primarily line of sight transmission. Mountains will interfere with the signal. If you go to lake Nantahala you will need a good set of walkie talkies. These are easy to use, sound great, and the batteries lasted all day. I used the rechargeable batteries and bought an extra pair.

These are great to use over a few acres, but for me become really static once you are about a 1.5 miles away. I have tested. We will continue to use, but more for when someone is working outside, or in garage, to communicate with those inside when they need something. We took on a camp trip as well, same issue, works in certain range, but not reliable very far out.

I have used most if not all the walkies Motorola has made over the past 20 years. I used to use them daily in my job. The current model (MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS Talkabout T460 Rechargeable Two-Way Radio Pair (Dark Blue)), in all its color variations, is by far the best. Do not get scared off by people who have less than positive reviews since Motorola has consistently made the highest quality walkies I have seen. Here are my comments on the issues mentioned in reviews:Distance Covered: Of course they do not reach 35 miles unless you have a line of sight. However I can tell you my experience is they consistently get around heavy woods and rolling hills for almost a mile. If you need more use a HAM radio.Not Working Right: If something seems to be working wrong it is probably user error - see the Lockout discussion a few reviews earlier. There are more things these radios do than the average person knows and that is not the radios fault. Kind of like my smart phone.The Screw in the back: I read a review saying they hated the screw in the back since it was hard to use. OMG it is meant to be opened with any coin but a nickel. You do not need a screw driver. And it keeps it waterproof. It is easy to open.Battery Use: Thank god no body complained about this. It is great! Motorola says the rechargeable battery should only last 6ish hours. I have gotten 10-11 hours out of a charge without a problem. Of course duracell disposable batteries are about twice that.I hope this helps.

Compré estos radios para senderismo de alta montaña donde no hay señal de cel; estos radios funcionan muy bien. Me sirvieron en distancias de hasta 10 km, tienen una función muy buena que aumenta la distancia de alcance con solo presionar un botón de "hi" para hablar. Igual sí son resistentes a lluvias, no sé si resistan estar sumergidos en agua pero lluvias fuertes sí resisten. En general muy buen producto y el envío fue muy rápido.
