BAOFENG BF-88ST Walkie Talkies for Adults Long Range Two Way Radios, 6 Pack

I have a few sets of these and for my needs, they are absolutely great! They're super easy to set up and the range is pretty good. I use them with my friends when we go skiing and range in the mountains can be tricky, but only once or twice have gotten out of range and that was always out west when some of us would venture to the far reaches of a resort. The charging dock was a big part of why I chose these radios and it works pretty well. The charging indicator lights can be a little moody, but it has always given the batteries a full charge so I don't think it's a problem. You're supposed to be able to program your own frequencies which would help keep you on your own channel but I couldn't get it to work, could be user error... but I've had them for a handful of ski trips now and we've only ever bumped into others on our channel a couple of times and have never had to switch twice in one day so I'm not worried about programming my own.

I have a small team in our warehouse and purchased these walkies to help with communication throughout the day without using our cellphones. I must admit I was skeptical at first but these walkies truly work at a good distance. I also purchased the warranty because these guys are very careless and I wanted to make sure they would last. A few of them needed repair but I didn't have to use the warranty because when I reached out to Radioddity they were quick with the response, feedback and even replacement for all! Customer Service was 10/10 and I would recommend this product as well as the company for your technical needs!!!

Not an industrial grade, but great for general use and events. That's what I expected for the price point. The charger base contacts are a little flakey, but work when you find the sweet spot. 2 of the batteries wouldn't take a charge, but seller was quick to remedy that. Stuff happens, it's how you deal with it that matters, so I'm happy.

I have four children and this works amazingly we were out at a flea market as we were a vendor we would send a walkie with which ever child was leaving for bathroom or to walk around or with other adults that were also with us so we could communicate. We were on the clear other side of the market and we could hear each other clear as day!!! Love it and well worth the price!!!

First package came with the totally wrong item. Had to take the time to return it and Reorder. Second one came correct and worked perfectly.

We use these in our school to communicate in the after school program. The walkies work great communicating from building to building and indoor to outdoor. We had one small issue with a battery no longer charging, but I was able to reach out to the vendor and got a speedy response and resolution.

These are very lightweight, cheep feeling and I returned them almost immediately, so I can't attest to how well they work. I bought them for my EMT class so that they can get used to effectively communicating on the radio. They feel cheep in your hand, the charger didn't seem like it would last, and overall they just weren't great. The charger lights kept flickering, so I didn't know if they were actually charging or defective or what. I didn't want to take any chances, so they went back. I ended up finding Motorola's at walmart for a little more and they've been great!

Radios are used for communications between employees and management at an outdoor agritainment business. The range is very good. Was able to program the radios to use only two channels to prevent employees from playing with the radios. Also, programmed the channels with ctcss (privacy codes) to prevent interference from other radios. Programs easily with CHIRP software. Even though they are FRS, it seems the programming software allows you to program offsets for GMRS repeater use. The radios are used up to eight hours at a time with no battery issues. Overall, very happy with the radios!
