Review on Retevis Walkie Earpiece Acoustic Adjustable by Suhas Carney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Buy it. it costs money.

I bought it to use as an off road communication system. I ride a motorcycle and I don't communicate at all with the jeeps and other vehicles in my group when in the desert they all have walkie-talkies to talk to each other, but since I'm the only motorcycle I can't just install a radio system on the motorcycle . so i bought these headphones to connect to a portable radio that i can carry in my pocket and at least hear the rest of the band in an emergency. Being the only bike, I ride ahead of the group and explore the route in front of me. Wearing this earpiece inside a helmet isn't the most comfortable thing, but that's not what it's designed for. Needless to say, it works amazingly. At 70 mph in the desert waters, I hear the rest of the group talking and the sound is as clear as if it were coming from the jeeps' radio speakers. There are 2 clips on the cable so you can attach it to your shirt/jacket: 1 is for the headphone and the other is for the microphone. However, their placement could be better or they could be adjusted, which is not the case, but they still work well. The microphone is actually very good and works great in my situation. I clipped it to the collar of my motorcycle jacket, and even though I'm on a motorcycle, I'm wearing a helmet and my glove covers most of the mic when I press the push-to-talk button. hear me I've ridden almost 500 miles in the desert and it's still holding up the same way once it came out of the box. The only thing I don't like is the cable, and that's most likely because I'm not using it for its intended purpose. 100% worth every penny.
