I brought these for my grandson's birthday (5 year old). He and his older brother who is 7 take them everywhere. Because of their small size they are easy for little hands to use. Doesn't mean that they are not powerful though. Reception is great and there is no static when in use. They are also quite sturdy and can stand up to being knocked about by children in play. They are not just for kids though, as the adults in our family have been enjoying them as well. All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase.
