Failed after 2 days of use

I bought this for law enforcement and it worked for 2 days. It started acting like it had a short in the wire and would work if you wiggle the wire, but eventually failed completely. I haven't used it in harsh environments. I just used it at the foot patrol at the state fair. I would suggest investing in higher quality headphones

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Negative result present

Works until it works.

I've looked through a few of these. I work on Patrol Law Enforcement, it is only worn in conjunction with my regular Patrol Uniform and is not subject to particularly harsh conditions. However, they simply fail without warning after a few months of use. Luckily they're cheap so I now have a spare so I don't have to wait days for when the next one fails to replace it. So far, Revain has kept the supposed guarantee so-so.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • ---

Don't waste your money

I bought two of these. One for me and one for my colleague to use on our work tablets that use the Zello PTT Walkie Talkie app. For this purpose it worked great. We've been using them 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for the past 7 weeks. However, over the past few days we've both found that we're missing some transmissions. The plug connected to the table no longer offered permanent contact. In less than two months they became unreliable and thus unusable. Of course, the return period expired 14…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

They close too easily

I've ordered 2 or 3 of these over the years. I've used them during my time as a prison warden and street cop and IF they work, they work great. However, the last few kits I've ordered only start to fail after a few weeks to a month or two. The coiled wire feels short and has issues with the drum section, resulting in a muffled sound. If you're working in a quiet environment, it doesn't matter, but if you're in a life-or-death situation, it's useless because you can't hear well.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • boring packaging

Worked for about 3 months

This item is for listening only and plugged directly into my handheld microphone. It's easy to route the cable to my ear. The piece was very comfortable in my ear and stayed in place with no issues. The unit worked great and was very loud and clear with the radio almost completely off. Unfortunately after about 3 months I had to gradually turn up the radio to hear something before I left completely. I bought a few of these thinking they might be a bad batch but it just seems like lifespan. The…

Pros
  • Pleasing
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Unreliable and will eventually fail after a short time.

waste of money. I do not recommend this product to anyone in the LE profession. I bought it in June 2018 and after only three months of regular use it stopped working in September. I've since considered leaving a review but decided not to as it was the second one I've bought. I bought one of these last year and was using it for about eight months when it did the same thing. I thought I might have gotten a bad one, so I decided to give it another try this year. Instead, I had the exact same…

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Excellent purchase! in accessory

I work on bugs and due to a hearing loss from my military service I can't hear radio conversations from my handheld mic when doors are opened/closed or when we push carts through the halls even though it was next to my ear . I have this to hear my radio better when there is competing noise and it does the job perfectly! No more avoidable trips with my colleagues because I can't hear my radio during a busy part of my shift or because there's no traffic coming my way! My manager commended me for…

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • No instructions

Decent earphones for CB and radio

I bought these earphones because I work as a security guard in a club and wanted to be thin listening to music. . I understand it's actually used for the radio and the transparent part works by pushing the air out and not through the speaker so I wasn't expecting the sound quality you get from top of the line headphones. I can say that the sound is good for an earphone. You have to put the receiver deep in your ear to hear properly and after an hour or two you don't feel good, but it works…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Nothing
