In addition, the headphones look great on the ear and are very light compared to some other wireless headphones I have tried in the past which is especially useful when I am doing strength training that involves a lot of up and down movements."
"PROs. Over-the-ear hooks: There are a lot of Bluetooth earbuds available on Amazon that sound great, but don’t always stay in your ear while you’re running or working out. I did a quick test by running in place, doing jumping jacks, and doing push-ups, and the earbuds stayed in my ear without an issue. Built-in mic: If you receive an incoming call while using these earbuds, you can answer it thanks to the built-in microphone.Bluetooth 4.1: In additional to improved sound quality, Bluetooth 4.1 also has improved battery life for both your phone and the earbuds (as long as your phone is Bluetooth 4.1 compatible as well). You will still get quality phone calls and music at the same time it will provide the ability for you to be alert for outside sounds that you would hear if you are not wearing a headset."
"These are fantastic."
"For headphones that quality wise are similar to my wireless powerbeats, strongly recommend."
"I can't say enough good things about these headphones."
"I really like these headphones!"

"A friend recommended this charger and it is far better than my last charger, which you couldn't tell how long and it would often times say the battery was charged when it was not."
"Nice charger and seems to handle every battery I've put in it that can be recharged."
"I do not understand a lot about batteries so I like the fact that the same charger takes all the decisions about what type of protocol should be used in each case to charge the batteries."
"It tells you the battery voltage, the charge current, and the total time the battery was installed."
"It tells you the state and condition of the battery and tells you what type."
"I’ve had this for a few months now and it works fine."
"The product works fine from what we can tell so far but the package that it was in, not the shipping package, but the product package, was very dirty and had stains all over it."
Notice: if the sound quality for receiving starts to get fuzzy,please disconnect the clear tube ear piece and blow it out with an air in a can, because the air in the tube will effect the transmission. Package Includes: 10. x Retevis Covert Air Acoustic Headset. Excellent for use in police military nightclubs bars paintball security restaurants hotels bouncer warehouses and noisy environments.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Out of the box setup, most will work, but not in their most efficent configuration, and wanted to pass along some helpful information to get the most out of this (or ANY CB Antenna). 1: Avoid running the cable near any power wiring in your vehicle - other power sources can cause attenuation or interference that may impede performance. 4: Once installed, have the antenna adjusted for SWR - And a note about this: If someone does this while inside a garage/structure, near a large building or power line, they are doing it WRONG!!! Indoor and nearby structures reflect signals, and high power lines can cause interference, both resulting in the adjustment being horribly off. If you are not aware of how to adjust the antenna, find someone with an SWR meter, go to a large area parking lot, and set it per the instructions, and see if performance improves."
"The cable is about 15 ft and the antenna is about 30 inches tall including the base. Make sure you tune far away from buildings, power lines, and trees and you will be rewarded."
"When I ordered my book that came with my Midland portable CB said this was the correct antenna for external mount portable unit, well it may be but you still need an adaptor to get it to hook up to radio, so be sure to order the part or you will be waiting like me."
"I thought about returning it after I got it and realize it was a 2 part antenna."

"Both work well but one of them came with the case cracked open at the seam nothing a little super glue couldn't fix and at the 9 dollar each price still a deal. Wile having it apart I added some small fishing weights to the empty spot at the bottom and filled the area with hot glue to secure them It was a great upgrade in my opinion adding heft and balance in standing my HTs up In fact i liked it so well now all 6 of my extened batterys have been cracked open and weighted. I receved this replay form Expert power after posting this revew. We do rate them on the listing as 3,800 mAh due to reserve capacity and other things that may come into play. As I said The mAh Is incorect Update the listing or find out why I was cheated out of 1200mAh in each battery pack I purchased."
"Got about two weeks of receiving time, with some sporadic transmitting, before the low battery indication came on."
"Fine battery but it needed a bit of modding to fit my Baofeng BF-F8HP."
"When you trim the plastic parts off the battery be careful to not trim off the two innermost tabs at the bottom, and be careful what exactly you trim off the top of the battery as those parts are necessary to secure the battery to the radio."
"Since then, I have found reports from others of only 2600 mAh capacity which were obtained by opening the cases and actually taking photos of the markings - 2600 mAh.. And I am not affiliated with them....On a somewhat different subject, one can also splutter about the apparent claim of 7.4 v battery voltage producing 8 watts output from a BaoFeng radio..."
"UPDATED 02/22/2017 - The extended battery causes pulsulating that breaks the squelch on the radio."

"However, seller called me at home on a Sunday night and stayed on the line to tell my husband how to properly get it into the case."
"I was very rough with my remote, dropped it a bunch of times and just didn't take very good care of it."
"Before i had the cover i droped the remote with no cover and the screen cracked resulting in me buying a new remote and this cover."
"BUT, I feel like the screen cover part of this case should be a tougher type of plastic instead of this filmy totally bendable kind it has now."
"It fits VERY tightly, had the snap in the back pop open a few times, not that there was a chance it would slide out it's way to tight for that."
"Could fit just a little bit better but overall I'm pretty happy."

"I live out in the country and needed a way to communicate with the wife and children.. Up on arrival we charged the units for a complete 24-30 hrs."
"These work well for limited distance, about 1 to 2 miles.I haven.t tried them at a greater distance, but I'm happy with the clear reception, and especially for the price through Amazon. The print is hard to read, and the Quick Reference Chart is almost impossible to read without a magnifying glass."
"I'll use these in my RV to instruct the driver when parking and docking. Will also use them in the campground when I head down to the lake to fish."
"Do your homework.... you won't get 36+ mile range on any GMRS radio in real-world conditions."
"They're not left in dirty toolbags or dropped on job sites. To their credit, they had me send them the radio and they replaced it. I paid shipping to them, but they paid shipping back to me. It IS broadcasting something because it gives out a very unusual feedback signal on my computer speakers but not the same feedback as every other radio we have. It seems like it's just decided to operate on a totally different frequency. FREQUENCY INFORMATION FOR THOSE THAT WANTED TO KNOW: For those that are curious about frequencies and channels, I figure I'll save you the hassle of looking it up and figuring it out. The following chart shows the Radio channel (the number on the on-screen LCD) along with the actual frequency of that channel, the common name for that channel (so you can set another standard radio to match it) and the broadcast power of the channels.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Let me start out by saying that my knowledge of CB's is extremely limited and Everything I've learned, is from reading as much as I can in these last 3 months. Lastly, I mounted an external speaker above my head and ran a long 3.5mm audio cable through the head liner, down the A-pillar and under the carpet to the radio. Before I even ran all the power wires for the radio. When I gave it to him he couldnt believe I was able to hit him back so clearly because we were about about 20 miles apart (straight shot, not driving distance) I ended up talking with him and a few other guys who were all in the 15-20 mile range all running home base stations with towers and big power and they all complemented how well I sounded. I remembers what my last channel I was on and every other feature that I've custom set...Everythin BUT the clock. It's not a huge deal to me since I have a clock about 1 foot above the radio anyway but just thought it was worth noting."
