Retevis RT22 Walkie Talkies Rechargeable Hands Free 2 Way Radios Two-Way Radio 6 Pack with 6 Way Multi

Honestly, these Retevis walkie-talkies have turned out to be one of the most useful things I've picked up on Amazon. I got them for our family camping trips, since cell service can be sketchy at best, and they've worked like a charm. We tested them across wooded areas, hills, and even some pretty rocky terrain, and the sound always comes through clear and crisp. They're simple enough that even my kids had them figured out in minutes, and the small size makes them easy to carry around all day without getting annoying. Battery life is another big win—these radios easily last us a full weekend without recharging. They’re not flashy, but they get the job done extremely well. We’ve even used them around the neighborhood when the kids are out playing, and they provide a peace of mind I didn't expect from a budget set. A couple minor things: You might occasionally get one that needs a little troubleshooting, and setup can involve fiddling with the channels at first to avoid interference. But the customer support has been awesome—quick responses and super helpful. Pros: - Impressive Range: Clear signal even over hills or around buildings. - Great Battery Life: Easily lasts a couple days of regular use without needing a charge. - Easy to Use: No complicated buttons or confusing screens. Perfect for kids or anyone who's not tech-savvy. - Very Affordable: Costs much less than big-brand radios, but performance is just as good. Cons: - Occasional Quality Issues: You might occasionally get a dud, but customer service is responsive and helpful. - Simple Design (No Frills): There’s no screen or extra fancy features. Good or bad, depending on what you’re looking for. Overall, these radios have seriously impressed me. Whether you're skiing, camping, or just want reliable communication around the house or yard, you can't beat these for the price. I'm already planning on buying another set! Read more

This is possibly the best purchase I've ever made on Amazon. I bought them for skiing. We go to Sugar Bowl and can typically communicate at great distances with high quality. For $15, it won't break the bank if your kids lose one of them. They are also relatively small for what's available in the market. No frills, no screen, and also no problems. We went with the corded charger first, and they worked great. Then we bought the charger base, and it was much faster and better. It's so simple and yet so well designed. We bought the second set, because our friends were jealous and we needed more radios at the cabin. Our friends had a high end Motorola, and eventually agreed this was better at 1/10 of the price. At these prices, I'm sure there are some duds, but we have two sets and they both work without any problems. Battery life seems very impressive. They are constantly left on all night and then they seem to still work the same day. And did I mention they are small. You can clip it to a backpack, but most of our kids put them in a ski jacket pocket. Worked very well for cross country skiing, so I imagine they would be great for hiking. Read more

these work great. the charging base is very nice. I like that you can add clip if wanted or remove if you do not. They are light weight/not heavy. 16 channels to choose from. When in a residential area with homes, hills, and buildings these will reach over a block. They work pretty well inside, when in a multi floor building that is brick we do pick up some static, although you can hear what everyone is saying. great tool for multiple employees, or persons to carry. I work for a medical facility with over 50 employees, and they do well, very few areas we have issues. this brand makes repeaters and other things to install if use is needed for more than the walkie itself offers. for the price these are a win and probably the best brand for a 10/15$ walkie talkie.

these are good radios for the price, here is my experience with them. one of the slots on the charger didn't work, retevis offered that i could return the charger and they would replace it and refund the shipping cost of the return, or if i chose to use an separate charger they would refund my 10.00. for how i planned on using these radios i chose the separate charging option. they quickly refunded my the 10.00 one of the radios wouldn't transmit, the PTT switch on the radio didn't work, again, i could return the one radio for replacement if i chose, but i intended to use them with external microphones so i waited to test the radio with the external mic. the radio works fine with the external mic. i bought the programming cord so i could turn on the alarm function, i had a small problem with windows trying to install the USB driver, but that was more of an issue with windows than with the programming cable. if the programming cable won't read the radio you may need to go into your device manager, find the usb/serial cable device and change the com port that the cable reads/writes from. retevis has answered all of my questions quickly and clearly. there have been a couple bumps but they were worked out and i will shortly be buying another 23 radios to fill out the team. oh one thing i should note, the "emergency alarm" they note isn't a translation error. it's not a "hey everyone, pay attention i'm gonna say something important" button it's more of an "OH MY GOD I"M BLEEDING TO DEATH CALL AN AMBULANCE!!!" button. this alarm is very loud, very obnoxious and is a toggle, meaning you hold the button to turn it on, then it stays on until the button is pressed again to turn it off. thankfully it doesn't come armed out of the box and requires programming to turn it on, or half of my staff wouldn't be allowed to touch the radios.
