Long range, clear sound, with multiple channels
These work great for what I use them for. I have a large home and a huge piece of land. The girl that helps me run my business is all over the place. I hate yelling for her, so I got these. Now I don't have to yell to get her to do something I need her to do, anymore. They have a range of about 700 feet. Which is all I need.

Exceeds casual use expectations
The media could not be loaded. These are great walkie talkie two way handheld radios. There are multiple channels to use. They also come with a belt clip, wrist strap, and earpiece. The earpiece is however generic and uncomfortable. The radios also have a built in flash light that can be steady or blinking. They come with lithium ion rechargeable batteries that use a cradle. Two cradles are included. 2 charging cables are included, but the power adapter is not included. You can use a phone charging block.As far as the radios, we have tested extensively. While they are terrific for kids, light use, and casual entertainment, I’m not sure I would rely on them in a professional setting, such as a school, or hotel. I would recommend for camping, farm, and traveling in pairs.In our testing, we averaged 3-4 hours of continuous use. The instructions say to fully discharge before charging. This can be a pain. Although lithium ion batteries should not create a memory if charging in between, the manual cautioned against charging whenever.The product is very sturdy. Charging does take some time, usually a couple hours.We tested around the neighborhood and were successful just under a mile (not in direct sight) before experiencing static. Deserves solid 4 stars. For 5 stars, I recommend including power adapter (since most people have usbc, and these use usba), and using battery technology that can be charged up at any percentage.

Good so far
These seem to function well even when not in line of sight. Like within a building. Your not gonna get 3 miles range unless it's like pointed directly down a mountain at the other radio with nothing in the way.Odds are youre not going to need that kind of distance anyway. Having only 2 controls keeps things simple, especially for kids. I have another baufeng and it works well so I stayed with the brand. They have already been dropped a few times and held up fine so they seem well made. Happy with my purchase and would reccomend this product.

Good Radios
I bought the 2-pack to use alongside my Baofeng BF-A5 handheld radios and on the exterior they look nearly identical to the BF-A5's. It's easy to load the BF-888S radios with the same code plug as the BF-A5 radios using CHIRP software, and they do communicate with each other, but read the manual as there are some slight functional differences in regard to how they use monitor or scan mode compared to the BF-A5's. These radios also fine for vehicle-to-vehicle communication on a road trip. Build quality is fine considering the price. The antennas that ship with Baofeng radios are always junk so do yourself a favor and spend a few extra dollars for some Nagoya antennas too.

Fun but not reliable
We got it for our kids to use, but also for us to communicate with them. It sometimes works great but unfortunately isnt reliable. Sometimes the buttons stick or it just wont work and have to regularly turn off and back on to get it to work right.
P**!
Great radios for the price
Bought 2 sets of these to take on a ski trip with a group of friends. They worked great, had great range and the batteries lasted all day with a lot of use between kids and adults. I ordered a programming cable from another vendor on Amazon that I was planning on using for changing the frequency, but it didn’t work. However it was not a problem because both sets of radios (4 total) were all programmed the same so we were able to use them without reprogramming. They were easy for the kids to use as well, didn’t have to worry about inadvertently changing the chanel because there are not a lot of programming buttons. Big plus was that the radios were relatively inexpensive so if one of the kids lost one it wouldn’t be a big deal. Fortunately we made it through the weekend with all 4 making it back each day.

Amazing!
We’ve had these Walky Talkies for a long time now and they still work great! They have a long range and battery life is good. Highly recommend
