Quality

They produce excellent sound quality and have excellent battery life.

Very nice radio’s, long battery life, so far above my expectations

Very disappointed since the only reason for the purchase was the usb charging capability.

I find the uv-5r's interface frustrating and non-intuitive.

Value for money wise is great you get two of them plus ear pieces to use with them.

However, for the price, i can deal with it.

Shipping

My only complaint is that it took so long to get here.

Probably came on the slow boat from china.

Packaging/appearance

I have the box that the radios came in but!

It took a bit to receive them, but when we did they had everything you need in the box and then some.

Competitiveness

Baofeng could have learned a lot from the 530s ui.
