Quality

Works great, and ended up purchasing another pair as gift

Great little radios, easy to use and set up.

I used one of these for work and had the same radio for years, never failed me.

Worked out of the box ordered programming cable and cd waste of money

Price

Great value for the cheap price, 5 stars.

Anyway, for the price, these radios are great.

For $30 bucks for the pair i am ok with it.

Great value for the money, but not super easy to use.

Shipping

It came quickly i just love it workes perfectly.

Would have been 5 stars if they would have arrived new.

Packaging/appearance

This package came with everything you need for two radios.

Someone commented these came used/open box but thats not correct.

Or at least advertised as the open box it was.

Competitiveness

Broadcast range isn’t super great but it’s no worse or better than any store bought 2 way radio.

If you are looking for an entry level comm solution, this is it, baofeng is the most common and widely used budget comms.
