Great buy
First set of Midlands in a long time and they didn't disappoint! I haven't tested the range in the woods yet, but so far, they can be heard well from long distances in a suburban area.

I will definitely recommend to friends
The radio works as advertised, RX is clear, menu is easy to navigate once the mode sequence becomes familiar. Design is very nice, not like a child’s radio. There doesn’t seem to be a single plug car charger available, only a double. Radio is not available as a single radio only as a pair. Removable antenna would be nice if legal. I am very pleased with this radio, wish...

Great product!
This product is amazing. We use it for all of our outdoor activities along with just having some fun around the house with the kiddos. I would recommend this to anybody who’s using it for anything honestly.

Not the right model for me...
This is a tough review. I am sure the units are just fine but, because you cannot put AA batteries in these, they wouldn't fit our backcountry hunting. The units don't have an individual charger so I cannot use a power pack.
I found the features I need for my style of hunting (T77VP5) and will be able to review these after a year of usage.

Two Way Handheld
These are perfect compliments to the GMRS Radio I installed in our Jeep. Range is exceptionally good. Battery life is excellent. Clarity of sound is great.

LOADED WITH FEATURES-VERY CLEAR!
MY SON-IN-LAW AND I BOTH BOUGHT THE SAME SETUP FOR GENERAL OR EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION. HE ONLY LIVES A FEW MILES AWAY, WITH BOTH OF US BEING INDOORS AT OUR HOUSES AND LOTS OF HOUSES AND TREES BETWEEN US, WE CAN STILL COMMUNICATE.

Missing a much needed feature
Bought these as many people do for outdoor activities. Have a GMRS radio in the vehicle wanted a portable version.
Long backpacking trips, hunting, day trips, boating etc....
Have held up to a lot of abuse on my end but also feel it lacks (what I would consider an essential feature after using)
Why can I not charge these without the basestation using a USB cor...

Every radio has a compromise. These are good.
I like this radio a lot. I have the following radios: t290, gxt1000, and the micro mobile 15watt. All connect to each other flawlessly. Exceptional clarity. I use these for property management operations in a small town. The gxt1000 have noticeably better performance. I can get good radio signal through urban environment and trees for about ~2 miles. With the T290’s I c...

Response from Staples :
Hello! Thank you for your review! You are correct, as with all two way radios, any obstruction between radios can decrease range but we are happy to hear you have found products that work best for you.

Great Range and Clarity
We have a group that rides in the mountains on ATV/UTV trails. These are great tools for keeping the lead and last driver communicating and keeping the groups on the same trails. AWESOME for getting the the group back together when separated.

Good All-Around Handhelds
Purchased a few months ago to use when off-roading and camping. Much longer range than expected, about 1.5 miles even in tree-filled areas. So far good battery life. I bought an extra set of batteries but only need them when I forget to charge the originals. Volume is good even over loud side-by-side engines. Good quality, only a few scrapes after a couple of heavy dro...

Great radios, great company!
I purchased these radios to replace a pair of old Cobra FRS/GMRS radios. With the recent FCC reg changes it’s tough to give up the FRS convenience but it’s a small price to pay and certainly NOT Midland’s fault. They continue to make great radios and I’m very pleased with this set. Just don’t forget to purchase your license from the FCC.

Individual for personal use
Tried several times in local hiking trail before my family going for a vacation to Yosemite. The sound and clarity is good. So far enjoy it and will update after the vacation trip.

All that I expected
I purchased this set in advance of buying a mobile unit for my Jeep. The Jeep club I am in is interested in moving everyone towards GMRS and we wanted to compare the features and range to our traditional CB's. Many of our members are new to off-road and finding something simple that everyone could use was a priority. Our first outing was a simple trail ride (actually mo...
