Reviews around work (5.00 of 5)

  • The convenience of wearing the radio on my belt with the mic on my lapel is what works for me
  • Speaker worked fine, radio keyed up, but no audio as if just the microphone portion was not working
  • Haven't had the chance to really put it through its paces, but it's been working well so far.
  • The smaller Baofeng mic is really garbage and cheaply made, but the BTECH QHM22 is made well and works perfect with my Baofeng BF-F8HP
  • I have two Baofeng UV-82's and the speaker mic works great with one of the radios however the other radio doesn't transmit with the mic unless I hold the connector tightly against the radio.

Reviews around volume (5.00 of 5)

  • This was purchased to replace a Kenwood adjustable volume speaker mic because the Kenwood didn't integrate with Howard Leight ear protection at all
  • You have to speak just into that corner for anyone to get a decent volume from you
  • Audio volume is good, albeit a bit biased toward the treble than i prefer
  • Volume, clarity, and durability are well worth the money.
  • The clip is strong and the mic seems well made with good volume.

Reviews around product (4.20 of 5)

  • This product has worked as stated in its product description and of good quality construction.
  • It is a great product and I just wish the Baofend charger cradle was as good quality and easy to use
  • Great sound and install was easy (once I realized that you have to plug it into the radio and press pretty aggressively to ensure it snaps into place, my fault though not the product's).
  • Great Product, I was a little worried that it was going to be like all the others
  • Sorry cant give this product anymore than a two star... being used on a BF-f8

Reviews around radio (3.88 of 5)

  • One of them didn't work, PTT did not toggle radio to transmit
  • The sound is 90% as good as from the radio's internal speaker, but then again the UV-82 has phenomenal sound compared to the UV-5R, so I'm not surprised the radio sounds stronger than the shoulder mic
  • The sound is 90% as good as from the radio's internal speaker, but then again the UV-82 has phenomenal sound compared to the UV-5R, so I'm not surprised the radio sounds stronger than the shoulder mic
  • Giving 1 star down because the packaging came undone in the box when it arrived and the radio had some dust on it
  • After a couple weeks my radio came un-clipped and bounced to the ground pulling and straining the still clipped mic.

Reviews around background noise (1.54 of 5)

  • They are also not noise canceling so in a loud environment you do get background noise.
  • The sound is 90% as good as from the radio's internal speaker, but then again the UV-82 has phenomenal sound compared to the UV-5R, so I'm not surprised the radio sounds stronger than the shoulder mic
  • There has been no problem with picking up background noise when speaking across the face of the mike in a normal level of voice.
  • Background noise can naturally become a problem if you hold the mike 2-4 inches away from your face.

Reviews around environment (1.00 of 5)

  • They are also not noise canceling so in a loud environment you do get background noise.
  • Very nice mic, with a good feel in the hand and easy to hear in a noisy environment.
  • Our company recently bought us new radios for communication in and around our manufacturing facility and in some areas the noise is so bad you can't hear the radio, this mic was a great deal and for the few days I've used it, seems to be working excellently, only reason for 4 stars being just haven't had it long enough to judge durability but so far great value!Update, had the speaker mic for a couple weeks and it works great, clip it to my shirt collar and have no trouble hearing in the noisy plant environment
  • I use these mics for mobile use and couldn't be more pleased about their performance in a noisy highway environment.
