Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality, large positive transfer switch, coiled flex cable, snug fit.

Some of the newer handheld radios have high transmit power. I just got a new one that transmits at full power of 10 watts. That's twice as much as the standard HT. High power radiation near my head can be harmful so I thought I'd buy this microphone with speaker. It appears to be of very good quality. The shift lever is large and has a very positive effect. The clip is big and strong. The coiled cord is flexible and long enough for you to control the radio while it's attached to your side. I tested this microphone with speaker on one of my Baofeng radios (see photo). It fit perfectly and worked as it should. Audio quality at reception was pretty good. The connectors fit snugly onto the side of the radio so are unlikely to come loose. It's also not so tight that it's hard to take it off. This is a quality speaker mic that works well. I highly recommend it.
