Review on BAOFENG UV-5R5 Dual Band Two-Way Radio: 5W Power, VHF & UHF, Complete Kit with Large Battery (Camo) by Hayden Wang ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

Even though I've never come across walkie-talkies, my experiences cycling through areas with spotty cell service have prompted me to consider them. In that time frame, they were able to fix the walkie-talkie. The primary focus was on checking out the unrestricted broadcasting frequencies, which, of course, proved to be congested with talks between builders from local construction sites, but still had some spaces to be found. A great way to familiarize yourself with the walkie-talkies. I considered Xiaomi walkie-talkies, but ultimately decided for 5R because it was both cheaper and had a better connection, despite Xiaomi's superior manufacturing and charging convenience.

Pros
  • A high-quality two-way radio for the purpose of learning about the concept. It's cheap, has a lot of volume and sound settings, and is widely used enough that you can find guides to just about everything online. You may adjust the antenna if needed, but even at distances of approximately 2 km (I didn't go any further) in urban areas, it operates calmly and reliably to maintain contact.
Cons
  • The included headset has a watery appearance and takes some getting used to in terms of how it is fastened to the ear. A charging power source of your own is required.
