So so— not scummy but not premium
Bought a Baofeng UV-5RM w/ accessories(headphone, wrist strap, dock, antennas, CHIRP cable, and handheld mic&speaker) via Amazon.
Got what i ordered, on time, with nothing missing. +2 stars.
No issues w/ programming cable—something i hear is a common problem— +1 star.
Handheld speaker&mic attachment does not work. The mic can only pick up fuzz, and I’ve isolated the problem to the LED. -1 star.
Quality is not the best, but for the most part i got what i paid for. The product felt a little cheap, and the headphone gave me bad nostalgia with an install-it-yourself foam cover for a plastic earphone that looks like it came with a iPod shuffle knockoff. -1 star.
From what i understand, the company resells radios w/ accessories and a markup, and is based in china.
