Original Baofeng Mic for Ham Radio Most Wanted Among Baofeng UV-5R Accessories. Shoulder Speaker Compatible with Baofeng bf-f8hp UV-5R UV-5R Plus UV-82 UV-82hp ​can be Used as Police Radio Mic

Compatibility: These microphones work perfectly with most Baofeng models like the UV-5R and UV-82. They also fit many other two way radios that use the standard K-plug connection. Connectivity: The 2-pin connector provides a very secure and stable link to the radio. I did not experience any signal drops or loose connections while using them in the field. Ease of use: This is a simple plug and play accessory that requires zero setup. The push to talk button is large and easy to find even if you are wearing thick gloves. Adjustment capability: The heavy duty 360 degree swivel clip allows you to attach the mic at any angle on your vest or shoulder. It stays exactly where you put it even during physical activity. Clarity: The audio quality is impressive for both receiving and transmitting. The noise reduction feature does a great job of filtering out background wind so my voice stays clear. Value for money: Getting a pair of these mics with a USA warranty is an excellent deal. The reinforced cables and overall build quality far exceed the low price point.

The mic was not working with my radio, but the seller took care of everything and refunded the money. Was told to keep the mic. Top Notch Seller.

Ordered two of these and received them yesterday. The price isn’t the cheapest, but not the highest either, so my expectations were that this would be of average quality. One mic starts popping when the radio is turned on and stops after a few seconds, but has quite a low speaker volume. The second is okay, but my transmission sounds like a tin can. The radios are not the issue as we swapped them around, tested others, etc. These are just horrible quality. I tried to reach out to the seller to see what they say, no email listed in the packaging or Amazon listing. I reached out via the “Ask seller a question...” and was given a reply the message didn’t go through as there was a problem with the seller’s email system. Im returning these ASAP. UPDATE: My email, despite the error to me, was received by the seller and they will be sending me new units. I appreciate their response and I will update accordingly. Seller was fast in correcting the issue for me. They sent replacements for both mics we purchased they the quality is better with these two. These are not their weatherproof versions, so the mic/speaker portion is smaller than some may be experience with (think older Motorola types) but they work great! Have updated my rating but retain my headline to reflect that the units I received were defective (or something) and the seller took the right steps to correct. I would add that a customer support email listing on their store would help as well.

This microphone sounded awful — the audio quality was terrible and the volume was very low. I expected it to at least be usable for casual talk, but it was so quiet and muffled that it was basically unusable. If you’re hoping for decent sound, save yourself the frustration and don’t buy this.

It is really good

Lightweight which can be a plus for a shoulder mike, compared to many in use with emergency personnel. However, too light for use as a desk top mike, as it was skittery when trying to pick it up off table top. That low weight also went with a bit of clinkiness. Actual mike button was hardly held in there, and appeared a weak part in design. However the micro-switch behind that mike button was of reasonable quality. The dual jack required a 2 part effort to get it fully seated into several radios tried. Speaker was OK; Had several persons listen and they said it wasn't quite as good as that in the radio or when using a directly plugged in earpiece, but was good enough to use. Test persons couldn't tell audio difference between transmissions with this or without. 3.5mm jack had a wet-plug cover that got quite in the way when trying to put plug into jack making it a 3-handed operation. Headphones didn't work when plug fully inserted, but mic button then didn't work either. With plug half way in and leaned on the headphones worked but speaker did not cut-off. Tried to convince myself 3 times to keep it for another limited purpose but it offered me little options for effective use, so returned it.

Works great on my UV-5R

I have 5 of these mics, every one of the mics sound different and all 5 do not sound very good. Even did some mods to open the hole where the condenser is and it did not help. Sound was either tinny or muffled or distorted.I figure for around 3.00 bucks a piece, I'd just chalked it up to experience.
