Type of review

The packaging inside was broken, but everything is whole! The range is good, three power modes, the charge should hold perfectly. I'm still figuring out the settings, but a lot of useful things. I easily made friends with my other baofeng bf-888s walkie-talkies. In general, excellent walkie-talkies, I recommend!

Pros
  • Good quality, reasonable price
Cons
  • No

I bought it for my parents to ensure a reliable and simple connection with Apiary, since the cellular connection is bad, I want everything to work, but the range has not yet been checked, if it is not enough, you will have to buy a more powerful antenna

Pros
  • The most inexpensive and powerful walkie-talkie, 3 operating modes
Cons
  • Not a simple menu, too many functions, the radio receiver is weak for a village, it catches only one wave

I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

When it comes to methods of communication in our century, something as simple as a cellular push-button phone is preferable because it is more space-efficient and more convenient. When I'm out in the country, I use it as a radio receiver. With its positives being: It has excellent radio reception, and because to the built-in LED light bulb, you can use it even when it's completely dark outside. The life of the battery is rather impressive. Cons: It is inconvenient to chat, you need to hit the…

Some pros: I chose walkie-talkies for a long time, it says 8 w, everything is packed well, there are no questions about the configuration. Tomorrow I will go to test in the field, I will add a review. Well, everything up to 3 km passed the tests, then more 😀 Cons: There is no instruction in 2022, but I'll figure it out

Well done, but I wont buy any more.

Although in the description in the photo there is a glass with a connector for different power supplies, in reality it is only for 220V. To charge in the car, you need to buy both a cord and a glass.

Pros
  • Everything works well
Cons
  • The charging glass for the car must be purchased separately.

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

Everything is good! Has pros: Great radio! Worth the money 100%. Cheaper than analogues by 2 times. Works great, tested! Has some cons: There is no instruction in 2022, it is difficult to figure it out without it.

Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

Some pros: Compact, easy to set up in a sophisticated menu, high-quality sound With its cons: Absolutely stupid range of 140 MHz. A lower frequency should have a better range, but since the standard antenna is 450 MHz, the 140 MHz band dies already at 400 meters in an open field!

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good one.

We bought these walkie-talkies for communication in the mountains when riding, were more than satisfied. I recommend to buy. Pros below: Excellent radio. - Made from quality materials - Good reception range, used in the mountains, freely communicated from the top of the mountain with those who were at the foot - capacious battery (for 3 days of skiing it took one division of the battery charge) Has some cons: without a special cable, it is not very convenient to set up several walkie-talkies…

Good product for me, I was satisfied with the price.

As a means of communication, this is the last century, an ordinary cellular push-button telephone is more convenient and takes up less space. I use it as a radio receiver in the country. Its pros: It catches the radio well, there is a built-in LED light bulb, you can shine it in the dark. The battery lasts a long time. Has some cons: It is not convenient to talk, you have to constantly press the button, it is not known at what frequency to look for an interlocutor. There is no address book.

A good budget option for hunting, fishing, any communication outside the coverage of mobile networks at acceptable distances for mobile radio communications.

Pros
  • Small, compact, easy to use. After reading the instructions, it is easy to set up, most of the functions are available without connecting to a PC. The price to performance ratio is very attractive. The sound quality is very good at the available communication range. Up to 1.5 km (forest) I used the power "L" (low) - the connection is stable. Minimum interference. Fast automatic transition to an additional range (menu functions 7 and 34). A large number (128) of customizable channels. Lithium-ion battery for 1800, the headset is included, of course - a charging station where you can charge both the walkie-talkie assembly and the battery separately
Cons
  • No deficiencies identified

The best thing I've ever used, a great item for everyone!

I have had a walkie-talkie for 5 years, I use it periodically, I ordered it on Ali, as well as dopas for it. A cool, at a normal price walkie-talkie, although a copy of Kenwood, but very good, I know that you can program the channels so that the numbers are displayed, and not remember which frequencies for which channels yourself, but I didn’t immediately get confused by this, but now I’m already used to it. A big plus is that it supports multiple ranges. We often used it in the movement of the

Pros
  • Price, communication quality, several bands, the ability to connect another antenna.
Cons
  • Of the shortcomings, probably only a charging station, I read on the forum that it often burns out, but it can be finalized, then it will work for a long time.
