Cozy. Better than the ones supplied when you bought the radio

Very comfortable, the sound quality is the same as the radio. Much better than the ones that come with radios. One arrived damaged. The plastic disc next to the metal clip has broken making it a very loose fit, it will only get worse over time

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • ---

Decent sound system, problems with plastic quality

PRO: + Good sound clarity. + Good cable lengths + Appealing PTTCONS: - Clear plastic mount in case metal clips break (used 3 days each) - Glued case for PTT splitters (super sticky backing with care) - Obviously quality control is a matter of delay Verdict: _wouldn't_ buy again

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • communication with the seller

Works great but needs new headphones

Bought these for use in our dental office and like them much better than the headphones that came with the radio. However, one broke after 2 months of use. The earphones that came with it are also rubbish. The ear canal hurts and you can't hear anything. Finally bought. Another brand to see if it holds up better

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

Not impressed - READ

1) Mic hole needs to be bigger 2) Voice sounds muffled when speaking 3) Not suitable for new Baofeng radios. Talking and receiving does not always connect. Works well in old Baofeng radios, but still muffles the voice on the receiver side. I use "QOL TOP" (4 packs) in all my radios. Works great and sounds very clear both in trance and on reception.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Obsolete

Works as advertised and then some.

So far so good. I was surprised that the earbud picked up seemingly "talking" sounds and sent them to the jack. So it only needs to switch the PTT button on the collar or the button attached to the shirt. It's hard to argue about the price. I have found that some of the original BAOFENG handheld radios we use are remarkable for the quality of sound processing with the remote mic.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Great receive sound but terrible transmit sound.

The sound on reception was excellent, but for some reason the microphone sounds very, very weak when speaking. It didn't work in a tactical application like the one I was using. You had to speak louder than usual so the other person could hear you. In my situation it wasn't ideal. Instead I decided to buy another product with a shoulder mic and an audio tube. The microphone only works for clarity, but the audio is quiet. I hope the design improves in the future as I liked the compact design.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • There are cons

Put simply, it seems to work right out of the box as advertised. I bought two and tested them as soon as they arrived, no problem. The sound quality in the headphones is better than I expected and is actually quite good. The only thing that differs a bit is the clip that attaches part of the cable to the clear plastic of the earcup and receiver: it's funky in shape and a little fiddly. Putting pressure on him, pressing him against my shirt. The spring clip is ok and works (cheap earplugs from…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Doubtful

Ideal for SureFire Sonic Defenders!

They are well built. I highly recommend them with SureFire earbuds. SureFire has earbuds that appear to be called "Sonic Defenders". I have some that I use for shooting and I remember reading the instructions for them that said you could remove the plastic core to put in the air hose for the radio. I never thought I would use it until I got into ham radio. The plastic core of the SureFire headphones has a small flap that can be opened to let in some noise. The point here is to block out most of

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Sad packaging
