Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Motorola T9500XLR 25-Mile 2-Way Radio Pair
Customer Review: Lots of fun but not as long-reaching as I'd like
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought these for Christmas and they were hours of fun the entire week afterwards. the boys especially love to use them for air-soft wars because you can wear earphones with them and turn them on vibrate. The only complaint we have is that they do not seem to work long-range. We had them on vacation - took one for a drive in the car and left another at home. We lost contact in about 1/2 mile. I will say that we didn't play around with that feature too much so maybe there is something we could have done to get a longer signal - don't know. But they are great fun for "around the neighborhood!"Customer Review: flawed
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased these radios a few months ago and essentially have been unable to use them. The voice clarity does not exist. No one is able to understand anyone. It cuts out sporadically. I would say that the distance is terrible also, but I can't tell if the radio is cutting out or I just can't understand anyone. Called MOTO and they actually confirm that there is a problem!!! with this and another new model. They recommended that I get the sx800r model! At first they wouldn't even take it back.
Oh, the NOAA channels are great and CLEAR!?
Design is also good.
Customer Review: Very disapointed!
Summary: 2 Stars
The Motorola 9500 was strongly recommended. However the set that I received turned out to be a piece of junk. Very poor voice clarity and quality. We depend on our talkabouts for car to car close range communications and boat to boat line of sight communication both of which were very poor, to the point of just not using them, which put us in a very unsafe position at times. I did call Motorola and was informed that I was past the warranty time and they would do nothing. My recommendation is to buy a set of Midland 900 or 950s and have a quality set of communicators.Customer Review: What a waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
These radio's are the worst! You cannot hear anything. It does not matter if you are 5 feet away from the other person or 100 feet. They look nice but that about covers it. I have no idea why they are still being sold and have not had a recall.
On the up side. I called Motorola and they are aware of the problem. They are sending me new ones and a different "better model". They are also sending me return postage so I can send them these awful things back.
I will let you know how the new ones are.
Customer Review: tempermental and barely ok on sound quality
Summary: 3 Stars
You can't just hand one to a friend or family member and go: between setting the codes; being sure to push the right talk button; being sure to speak clearly, and not too close to the mic; these are temperamental radios.
The range is pretty good, but never what you want it to be.
The sound quality is muffled and poor. You'll be repeating yourselves many many times to get the message across.
All in all, it's hard work to use this product.
