Summary: Welcomed clarity
Comment: Having had to return a Motorola T9500 Talkabout because of the tinny, hard-to-hear audio, I bought the Midland GTX900 in hopes that Amazon reviewers were right about its good sound -- and they were. The Midland's clarity was very much welcomed after having to strain to understand the voice through my two sets of Motorolas, and the Midland had better range at 5 watts than did the Motorola T9500 -- better range meaning audible (car to home) at four blocks in a village rather than two and a half blocks. I am pleased with it all the way around.

Summary: 2-way radios
Comment: Amazon still offers a better deal for these 2-way radios. I bought them as a company purchase for some of our job site employees and they seem to really enjoy them. They are pretty durable.

Summary: Power and features there but not the best
Comment: They've got the full 5W power that is so hard to find at a good price and they also have the good price to go with it. The features are great and numerous but there is one problem. When you press the talk (PTT) button you have to wait between a half second and a second before you can say anything! It drives me nuts and I had hoped Midland had fixed this when I bought these. I had tried Midlands around a year and a half ago but that drawback was too much to pull me away from my old trusty Motorolas. That and the then 16 mile Midlands couldn't compete with my 2 mile Moto's. These new Midlands are much stronger than anything I own but it drives me nuts holding a button waiting to speak! OR even worse, hand the radio to someone who is not familiar with this glich and they will cut off the beginning of their statement every single time. You have to be psychic to communicate with these at times. Even if you want to click the button to send a "roger" beep for confirmation instead of replying you have to hold the stupid button!!!! These are OK for a trip to Disneyland but if you want to use them regularly I would advise to try them first. These would get 5 stars from me otherwise but I feel being able to talk when you press the button is more important than weather alerts or vibrate features.

Summary: Works GREAT for Motorcycles
Comment: My wife and I use the on our motorcycles and they work great. They have a long range and work well in mountains. Keep on low power unless you are trying to reach out a long distance because they will use a lot of battery power.

Summary: walkie talkie fun
Comment: Our Midland GXT900 VP4 two way radios have been a rather fun if extravagant present for our child. The instructions are, as others have reported, the pits, but we persevered and managed to get the things working. They've worked around the neighborhood, on forest hikes (I guess trees and mountains are not as big a problem as city obstacles??), and for treasure hunt games. A good motivator on long hikes, and with family members who like to go at different paces! Kids do have trouble holding the thumb button down hard enough and long enough, but they too can learn with enough practice.
We've only had them a out a few times, so I haven't experienced the charge up yet. So far it looks like a good hold. The earbuds/mikes seem a bit cheap.
