About Midland 50 Channel GMRS Two-Way Radio Long Range Walkie Talkie
Overall Feedback:
89% positive
87% were satisfied with the voice clarity, whereas 13% weren't
The voice activation has a general lag and I have to get used to losing the first word to open the mic. After that, it is crystal clear.
At times, wind interference made the voice activated feature inconsistent for me (the rider/horse).
81% were impressed with the range, but 19% weren't
In the thick forest, our radio has a maximum range of about a mile.
The range of our CB-two-way-radios is 36 miles, but it only works with line of sight and the curve of the earth prevents reception at this power level even over water.
I could not get more than a 3 mile range even though the description reads up to 100 miles.
Under perfect conditions, the radio has a range of 36mi, but under normal conditions, the range is lower due to obstructions like hills, buildings, trees, and other obstacles.

79% found it durable
I have been using the product for two years, including tough conditions of rock climbing. I have even fallen from a height of 20 ft and had severe bumps, but the product still works well.
I dropped the product on concrete and it did not get any scratches. Thus, the product is durable.
I was told that the radio is built like a 90s Nokia phone and won't break easily. My friend's son dropped it from the top of a playground while playing with it and it didn't get damaged despite the fall height exceeding its rating.
71% liked the battery life, yet 29% faced issues
The battery life is great and lasts for at least 3 days when we turn on the radios every 2 hours for check-in.
The battery life is good, but it runs out in less than 12 hours of just sitting idle, even when I keep it 'on' to receive calls.
The battery indicator on my radio is not accurate and it suddenly drops in a few minutes when the battery is almost depleted.
At reasonably cold temperature and altitude, my battery dies in half an hour.
