Retevis RT22 Long Range Rechargeable Walkie Talkies for Adults & Kids - 2 Pack Camouflage Two Way Radios with VOX Handsfree, Portable Mini Walkie Talkies for Camping, Hiking, Road Trips & Outdoor Adventures

I love the simple elegance of the no display, one knob and three buttons design of these UHF radios. I purchased the programming cable but I probably could have waited because these radios just work great out of the box. Now I suspect the programming cable will give me finer control over ever detail of the operation of the radios and I look forward to fiddling around with the features, but for simplicity these radios win hands down.I purchased these radio because of their small antennas and no display. You simply turn the radio on with the volume knob, it verbally states "power on" and then the channel number (1-16). When the battery gets low, it verbally announces "charge battery" after a transmission.The other purchasing decision was the included ear piece. I needed the in ear acoustic style listening device (think secret service style) with a mic attached at the collar. The included mic/ear piece is exactly what I needed. The entire earpiece/mic is replaceable (http://a.co/d/gjQLgv7) and you can also replace just the acoustic ear piece (http://a.co/d/dGmchIL), and even the part that sits in your ear can be replaced (http://a.co/d/9uDZ2vg), making it ideal for multiple wearers - just swap out the inexpensive in ear piece.Another reason I went with this radio is the charging base. This particular product being reviewed here doesn't come with a charging base. There are single (http://a.co/d/fYKLP8I) and multiple radio (http://a.co/d/3MqkQUc) bases. These radios are sold in configurations with both bases, but sometimes not the ear pieces. I just needed the radios now and will get the six radio charging base later.Charging the batteries was incredible fast with the included dual radio charger and they last a long time on a single charge. The manufacturer says after running the battery down and charging a third time will then give the battery it's longest operation between charges. Replacement batteries (http://a.co/d/7HIZKjN) are available and super light, which is another reason I purchased these radios.The included belt clips are okay. They could be just a tiny bit more beefy, but if they break, replacements are available. That's another thing I like about these radios - you can get replacement parts for every piece. The radios themselves feel very solid but lightweight. Not cheap, sturdy. I feel I could drop one and it would fair just fine.The audio quality is very good. I am able to hear loud and clear the other radio over the earpiece.Overall I'm very impressed with these radios and will be purchasing two more along with the six radio charging base so I can just drop in the radios for a quick charge.
