HESENATE HT66 Walkie Talkies for Adults, Long Range PMR446 Rechargeable Two-Way Radio with USB-C Charger, VOX, 16 Channels, 1200mAh Battery (4 Pack, Black) - Ideal for Family, Camping, Hiking & Work

Don’t be put off by how cheap they are these things work unbelievably well good range great battery life comes through nice and clear

Superb piece of kit. The USB C allows both charging and programming from a PC using software such as CHIRP, without the need for additional driver disc and specialised cable. Very reasonably priced and functioned very well indeed when a large party of us went to the Yorkshire Dales. Volume and sound quality was good.

Fantastic works fineNice radio'sSia door supervisor/Events

It was really good good frequencies good range

Brilliant, highly recommended,

This is a set of 4 walkie talkies enough for a whole family or team if you are involved in a team pursuit. They are easy to setup and charge using USB cables so can be charged virtually anywhere you can find a USB power source. Battery life is also good on a full charge.To use you simply select the same frequency on each handset and then press a button to talk. Quality of sound is very good and range is superb with no drop off in the sound quality over longer distances. The maximum range is claimed to be a couple of miles, I don't know if that is true but they definitely work fine over several hundred yards without any issues.Size of the walkie talkies is also nice and compact and they are relatively light as well meaning you can slip them in your pocket when out and about. Great for walking holidays or being out in the country and keeping contact even where a mobile won't work.

I have given these five stars considering the value/quality balance, they do not have the bells and whistles of more expensive ones but some things about them are great.I have used radios and walkie talkies all my adult life for work and in my sport so I have plenty to compare these to.They are built to a price but it comes with some unexpected bonus points, like a USB C instead of a bulky base charger. (that is a great feature) and the lack of a screen. On most low and mid budget radios you get a plastic screen which is generally the first thing to break, not on these.Build quality is OK, nothing seemed feeble or likely to break everything moved pressed and twisted as it should. If you understand these things then setup was easy. If not it may take you 20 mins to understand how they work. Only 16 channels but that is plenty.I charged them up overnight then we took them out in our cars, I would say that they were reasonable up to a mile whilst we were in our cars driving more than that and the signal started to break. I went up a small hill with line of sight about 2 miles away that was too far, some signal did come through. So the maximum line of sight range is about 1.5 miles which is what they claim. That is with a clear line of sight. In built up areas it will be less.They are easy to use I did not try a headset/mike but it looks standard.If those specs suit you I would give them a try, they are returnable.

I like the idea of having some walkie talkies for use in an emergency - you never know when the mobile network is going to go down so I can imagine situations where these could be useful. A 4-pack is very handy for all the family to use. (They are actually supplied as two 2-packs.)Charging is easy with a USB-C connection. I did find that for some reason these were unwilling to charge when connected by a USB C-to-C cable to one of my best high power chargers, but they charged fine using the supplied USB A to C cables and a standard USB A charger. The batteries clip onto the rear of the walkie talkies and they can be charged separately. It looks like there is an option to stand them in a "charging base" rather than having to plug in a cable, but this is not supplied with the version that I received.Operation is simple. The channel knob has no display but a voice reads out the channel number when it's changed. There is a squelch button on the side, so you can turn off the squelch for potentially longer range use (although of course you then hear the loud background hiss/noise).We tested the range by having my son upstairs in the house (actually up in a loft room, so as high as possible), while I walked away from the house until reception became impossible. There were various houses in the way so definitely not an "open field" range test. Unfortunately in these conditions we only achieved about 320 metres - rather disappointing. Interestingly while doing the experiment we heard another user from the other side of town over 1.5 miles away so that was rather weird - reminded me of the good olden days of CB.So overall, not fully recommended based on my test - I'll try them in the more open great outdoors some time to see if I can get anywhere the "max" 2.5km range mentioned in the description.
