Review:
Good walkie-talkies
I was kindly sent the "Full Black" version of
these walkie-talkies for review, and I think they are very good.
The twin units come simply but adequately packaged, with a
good user manual. They take 3 AA
batteries each which are not supplied; I use rechargeables which work
fine. The units are solidly made and
seem robust and durable – I will report back if I have any problems with
durability but I'm not expecting any, and I think these will stand up well to
the knocks and drops of regular use. The
belt-clips are very good, by the way, and keep them firmly and safely clipped
on. (The clips are removable if you
don't need them.)
They work very well: sound is pretty clear and they have the
usual choice of 8 channels to avoid interference. They are simple to operate and range seems OK,
but I live in a very built-up area and here the claim of 3km range is
ridiculous; they're OK up to a few hundred metres at best and I wouldn't want
to depend on them beyond that. (You may
have better luck where you are, of course.)
However, for the very local use I want them for, they are excellent and will
be fine for their advertised uses in "supermarkets, shopping centres,
festivals etc."
I'm very pleased with these.
They are well made and they do the job well provided you don’t need very
long range. Recommended.
