Quality

Its rugged build the long battery life and clear audio keep me connected over vast distances.

The build quality is what i would expect and feels well built enough to stand a moderate amount of usage.

Battery last about a good 2 days with medium use.

While i like the display better on the original, as it was less harsh than the backlighting on this display, * amended addition... Read More

Price

You can't beat a $30-$40 ham radio that receives and transmits just fine!

It's worth the money and will let you get your toes moist in ham radio without breaking the bank.

For less than $40 you would almost expect something cheaply made but it's not.

If you're on the fence about buying one of these, just spend the money and look at it for yourself!

Packaging/appearance

The baofeng 5rm handheld radio has good packaging, 10w power， stable signal, and one-button frequency matching is very convenient.

Comes well packaged with everything you need, flexible antenna, charging stand and cord, battery, instruction manual, earpiece ... Read More

It looked like a repackaged product but i am assuming that the extras would take some of the factory packaging trays away.

I've tried a lot of baofeng and other chinese-manufactured radios - the one is a big improvement over others.

I have regular walkie talkies i use in my business, and those are expensive in comparison to this, with nowhere near the functionality.

The range at least matches major competitors.
