Review on Baofeng UV-5X 5R TYT Ham Two-way Radio Walkie Talkie Transceiver Earpiece Earphone Headset Mic by Cedric Ziebart

Revainrating 4 out of 5

They get the job done for a low price

These were obtained for use with BaoFeng BF-888S radios after channel switching to FRS with CHIRP. These aren't the highest quality headphones, but they get the job done for little money. They were used during deer hunting season to allow hunters to communicate with each other without alerting the deer. The only issue was attaching the foam pad to the earcup. Did seven sets and took about an hour! A piece of foam was ripped right out of the box, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference when using these earbuds compared to earbuds with a piece of foam. The hunters said they could just whisper into the microphone and the other hunters could hear them perfectly.

Pros
  • Easy-to-read control panel
Cons
  • The list goes on.
