Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - practical and useful
These radios were replacements for a previous pair because I lost one. Both sets have been handy and useful. My mother doesn't have a cell phone so we use it to keep in touch while shopping. These are the best we've found. We had another brand that would not reach as far and were not as clear.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Talk about review
The product seems to be O.K. I will try it for a month or so to see how it works



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Good for its looks only...
I am extreemely unhappy with the T9580R. Its range in urban setting is no more than 500m. The voice quality is crackling. The advance features are useless to a basic user like me. This unit is only good for kid's back yard use. Will NOT recommend it to anyone.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Perfect!
I bought two packages containing two radios each. All four work perfectly well with each other. Used initially for an outdoor nature camp and later in a preschool, the positives are:

POSITIVES:
==========

- Crystal clear voices at any volume setting. Let's face it - this is the #1 reason anyone buys walkie-talkie devices like this.

- The dual charging staion gives the radios a "place to be" when not in use. Then when needed, they are fully charged. ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Real World Range is 1/10 of 25 miles.
I received Four T9580R as free replacements for my faulty T9500. The 9500's cut out when talking, and it's a documented problem. If you used a 2 way radio, or read any other reviews you will quickly come to find that none of them give you the range they claim. These claim 25 miles, but in two vastly different locations, my average is about 1/10 of that. In rural middle Tennessee (rolling hills & trees) these are capable of 1 - 1.5 miles which I actually expected based on other 2-ways I've owned. ... Read More
