Midland LXT500VP3 Rechargeable Batteries Chargers Portable Audio & Video Review

I switched from some cheap radios to these because I wanted better quality in communicating with people. They sound really good and the only real complaint I've read about is the battery life. However, I needed them to last 6-8 hours each and they all lasted much longer. I wish they had a bigger battery but for what I need they worked great. In combination with headphones, these radios work very well.

I like that they served their purpose when camping. The worst part, however, is the distance. I thought it might be because I live on the outskirts of the suburbs, he worked less than a mile, but even camping he didn't make it 1 mile! They're durable, easy to use, but for the amount I paid for them I should have just bought the cheap ones I found originally. I'm very disappointed with the distance. I feel bad trying to get her back now that 5 months has passed. I regret this purchase.
