Milo Features
Multi-way voice
All members in a group can speak naturally, including talking over each other. No need to push-to-talk like with a walkie-talkie. Just speak and hear everyone like in a normal conversation.
Long range mesh network
Your Milos create a secure mesh radio network. No Wi-Fi or phone signal needed. The range between two grouped Milos in clear terrain is usually around 1,000m (3,000 feet). Milos do not require line-of-sight to stay connected and will work through trees. However range can be affected by more severe obstructions. The MiloNetTM network extends your group’s overall range when the group spreads out, as the Milos act as “repeaters” for other Milos in the group.
Advanced wind noise reduction
Six digital low-distortion microphones and sophisticated wind and background noise reduction algorithms deliver clear voice in all conditions.
Waterproof and rugged
Milo is designed to meet the challenges you face on all active adventures. It is impact resistant, dust- and waterproof and can be fully submerged in water. It is IP67 rated and has been tested to depths of 3m (10 feet) for short durations.
All day battery
The integrated rechargeable lithium polymer battery provides a full day of use under normal conditions, even in cold weather. If needed, you can use a portable power bank to charge Milo while still talking to your group.
Private and secure
Milo creates an encrypted network for your group. That means you don’t need to pick a channel, and nobody outside your group can listen in on your conversations.
Bluetooth or wired headset optional
Milo can be used with or without a headset. Connect with your favorite Bluetooth or wired headset for that in-ear sound experience, or just use Milo with the built-in microphones and powerful loudspeaker.
Reviews from around the globe
Fun to be able to chat while separated across the glacier.
Alex & friends, Lucerne
I have to say, Milo is a game changer! Very useful to speak when separated on the water.
Rich, London
Great way to keep connected in the desert, especially in dust storms.
Ann, San Francisco
Best radios we ever had, brings the whole experience to a completely new level.
Michi, Berlin
Even during high-speed downhill skiing, we were able to hear each other clearly.
Pete, London
Loved using Milo to keep connected to my friends in the backcountry.
I use Milo primarily when snow skiing with my kids. I love the range and how they will automatically reconnect when you get back into range after disconnecting.

We use them for skiing and mountain biking with the kids. As you can see in the video, for skiing, we mounted them to the back of the helmet for each kid and they work shockingly well…totally hands free, no wind noise, I can talk and hear my kids as we ski….they’re great. I’m constantly surprised how well they work, especially given we mounted them on the backside of the kids helmets.

As a mid-level skier, I’m constantly challenged by my teenage son’s adventurous spirit on the slopes, I can confidently say that Milo Hand-Free Walkie Talkies have been a revelation. This season amidst the powder-filled trees, Milo became my trusty companion, enhancing both my communication and confidence levels.
Before Milo, navigating through powdery terrains while keeping up with my son’s pace felt daunting. However, with Milo securely attached to my jacket, communication became seamless. Whether it was to coordinate our next turn or simply ensure we were both safe and accounted for, Milo’s crystal clear audio and hands-free design allowed me to stay connected.
One of the most significant advantages of Milo was its simplicity. Even as someone who isn’t tech-savvy, I found the setup process quick and intuitive. Within minutes, Milo was synced and ready to go.

I bought my Milo for skiing/mountain biking. It’s been phenomenal for two way communication between friends. Battery is great, sound quality is great. Pretty easy to use. You have to get noticeably out of distance from your friends for it to not work, and then it tells you it’s out of range.
I’ve been happy with the purchase.

We purchased our Milo’s for skiing hoping to find a better way to keep in contact with our 3 little kiddos. Little did I know that our Milo’s would not only give me peace of mind, but also created many laughs and memories together. Listening to our kids joke, cheer each other on, and celebrate each other’s skiing accomplishments made this mama’s heart burst! We can’t wait to use our Milo’s while four wheeling this summer. Thank you Milo!

Such a neat effective product. We originally purchased Milos for our business to communicate as we teach people how to wakeboard. This is just one of those products that once you get it dialed your brain goes to all of the other uses. We CANT wait to get them on the snow this winter as a family on our way down the hill. Our kids use them around the yard to play games. Etc

During these rides we like to catch up on our family and friends as we ride at a leisurely pace. I had noticed with the sounds of the trail and the rear hub, I couldn’t hear very well. The Milo has solved this problem and made our rides more enjoyable.

Loved using the Milo during our family trip to Crested Butte CO. Hands free communication was fantastic while skiing the glades and off-piste runs.

FAQs
Why is Milo priced at a premium?
Yes, we could make Milos cheaper. But if we did that, they’d be cheap.
They wouldn’t have advanced wind and background noise suppression.
They wouldn’t be waterproof and rugged.
They wouldn’t let you speak hands-free, phone-free with your group, on the slopes, trails of the water.
They wouldn’t be Milo Action Communicators.
So, it’s safe to say, Milo will never be cheap.
And that’s a good thing. Because you’ll always get what you pay for.
Can I try it?
With our 30-day returns, sure you can. We’re so confident you will love Milo that we will refund your purchase if you’re not satisfied. Simply return your units within 30 days, no questions asked, no hoops.
Does Milo include a warranty?
Milo comes with a 2-year warranty. Each Milo is comprehensively tested before leaving the factory. In the unlikely event that a unit stops working, we will replace the unit.
What is the Milo range?
Milo range is up to about 1,000 m / 3,000 feet between any two Milos in your group. Sometimes even much farther. This depends on terrain and conditions, of course. The range is extended by the MiloNet mesh network if your group spreads out farther, because the Milos in your group act as “repeaters” for the other Milos.
What is the Milo noise canceling like?
Milo has very good wind and background noise suppression thanks to the six integrated high performance digital microphones and sophisticated audio signal processing algorithms. This enables everyone in your group to be clearly heard, even in very windy conditions or when moving fast.
How waterproof is Milo?
Milo is completely waterproof and has an IP67 rating, which means it can be submerged in up to 1 meter (3 ft) of water for a half an hour. Milo has also been tested for short durations down to 3m (10 ft).
What about salt water?
Milo has very few moving parts outside of sealed buttons. In the same way you take care of, say, an action camera, we recommend rinsing with fresh water after use in salt water, so with care you will not have any problems. We also include a set of rubber plugs that fit into the USB-C port.
Will Milo work in cold temperatures?
Yes, Milo was designed for the harshest environments and has been tested and will work in freezing cold temperatures.
Does Milo include a push-to-talk option?
While the core value of Milo is exactly that you don’t need to push a button to talk like you do with walkie-talkies, we know that sometimes you want that option. So, yes: just hold the big front Milo button while you talk to enable push-to-talk mode, and release to mute your microphones.
Is Milo good for kids?
Yes! Milo is very simple and handsfree and needs no phone, so it’s suitable even for younger kids. It gives you peace of mind when your kids are out of sight, knowing you can speak with them when needed. Milos can also notify you if your kids go out of range!
How secure is Milo? Are my conversations private?
Milo voice transmissions are encrypted and private and can only be heard by members in your group who have grouped their Milos™.
How close can they be without feedback?
You can bring Milos™ close to each other and they will not echo, unlike traditional walkie-talkies. Milo™ detects this condition to prevent the echo and automatically ducks the volume of sound from Milos™ when next to each other.
Battery – what kind of battery does Milo use? How long does it take to fully charge Milo?
Milo uses a high-quality lithium polymer rechargeable battery. Just like your phone battery, it is fully integrated allowing Milo to be completely waterproof. The battery lasts a full day on a single charge and takes about 90 minutes to fully charge from empty. Your Milo™ will charge more quickly when powered on.
Is Milo's software updatable?
Yes. You can update Milo via the Milo™ mobile app for iPhone and Android. We will release not only bug fixes but also significant new features via regular software updates and your Milo will continue to get better over time. New software features, such as voice control or long-range-mode, will not require any additional hardware purchases. Software updates will be available via the Milo Link app, free from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Do I need a headset? Can I use Milo with a headset?
You don’t need to use a headset with Milo, but if you like you can pair Milo with most Bluetooth headset brands or even plug in a wired headset. Also, your Milo does not need to be mounted permanently into a helmet so you have flexibility to use Milo on all your adventures, on the trails, slopes the water and beyond.
