BAOFENG BF-888S Rechargeable Handheld Two Way Radio (Pack of 20) (20) (10)

We bought the 10 pack for a family cruise to the Caribbean. They worked very well on board. The battery life was more than sufficient. The sound quality was excellent. They are pretty sturdy since several of them were dropped a few times but worked just fine. Extremely happy with this purchase. The kids loved talking to each other throughout the ship and it was peace of mind for us parents to be able to give the older kids more freedom around the ship because we were able to communicate with everyone with the walkies.

Went on a ski vacation with a large group. Wanted to keep everyone in the loop without having to rely on cellphones. These are really cheap. They charge fast, and last for a while. The hand strap and clipon came to good use. Only one of our group used the extended speaker/talker. For this price tag the quality is good, and it served its purpose.

The radios are really really good! All of them worked perfectly... Long range, clarity, you name it!Couple of cons:The programming cable simply doesn't work (after a Lot of trying on different computers i've finally decided to check the cable itself And found out it was deffective a common thing to clone cables, they are all hit or miss)The other con is that 4 out of the 10 earpieces didn't work -no sound or garbled sound due to poor quality soldering on the speaker part.For the price still the radios were unbeatable, i'm willing to let go these small faults and buy again... I'll just not be a conciencious consumer if i didn't point out these little details.

These little radios are awesome!! And for a really great price. The frequencies that come with it, are not legal frequencies, and can find yourself with a $10,000 fine plus possible imprisonment if found using illegal frequencies in the US.As a licensed GMRS radio operator, I had a friend programmed these to FRS frequencies. Thankfully, these radios are considered legal when using FRS/GMRS frequencies, as the FCC has now allowed FRS frequencies to transmit up to 2W power (which previously you could only transmit at 0.5W power on FRS) - license free!And now, you can transmit on the GMRS frequencies up to 10W (previously 5W) - license required.You can technically program these radios to nearly any two-way radio frequency, even use them on Business frequencies- license required and a Tech Coordinator to program them.

Recommended by a colleague for a work application. they are cheap, ,clips come off easily, and they break at the drop of a hat. Use them from the house to the garage and they are probably fine but not in a work setting where they will get repeated use. From the minute they came out of the package they picked up everything in the area, again in a remote setting they might be fine but if you're in an urban or suburban area be prepared to fight for the airways,

My husband is vice president of our daughter's high school marching band boosters. They had twenty radios for the boosters to use, but it was determined that they needed more to replace some that had gone missing or failed. Each radio has it's own charger. It comes with a programming cable so you can set up the frequency to use. They can all use the same frequency or as in the case of the boosters, we have different frequencies for different needs. It comes with software so you can program them, but my husband found a different program that worked better in his opinion. The radios work well, as expected.

These radios are the best bang for the buck when it comes to basic communication! I am really impressed by the audio quality, range, and clear communication that these radios have compared to the more expensive FRS/GMRS radios we have used before. Again, for the low price, these radios are the best value I have seen. Programming was relatively easy for me, but I have previous experience programming other radios. It do take some scouring the web to find the right solution to get my Windows 10 computer to correctly recognize the programming cable with the correct driver, but once that was figured out, I programmed ten radios in a few minutes.

I brought these for my job and I'll say that you get what you pay for. These are not bad radioes but they break easily and fall apart after a few months use. We have many employees who use them so I can't say that it's just the radioes, they also feel fragile. They do get the job done though and if your looking for budget radios these will do. We have purchased them in the past and will probably do so in the furniture
