CHIRP and "888S" programming software does not work with these.
UPDATE: (3-12-2020) From CHIRP "Issues" section, my problem may be related to my use of a cheap programming cable with a third party driver. But so far, the radios are working fine!Review is preliminary. Radios received today (March 6) and this review is primarily concerned with efforts to install a custom channel frequency and CTSS tone configuration. YMMV and all that!Ordered March 5 with delivery promised "two days after shipping info received". Actually received in ONE day! (yay!). HOWEVER, the CHIRP software used with other Baofeng radios (and which has a setting for BF-888S radios) did not work with these. Attempts to download a custom frequency/CTSS configuration got a CHIRP error "Radio refused to enter programing mode" (CHIRP version 'CHIRP daily 2020227"). Software for these named "888S" downloaded from the Miklor website also fails with a "Write data fail" statement. And after that attempt, the radio will just emit a continuous "Beeeeep" on any channel.HOWEVER, the software for the identical-appearing Retevis H-777 radios DOES work with these Baofengs! It's kludgy as all getout compared to CHIRP, but it does work.

Great product
I use this at work on my toolbox and I love it. It doesn’t carry and drown out other techs radios. Perfect size and sound great

Comfortable and Clear!
Headset fits great and cancels out background noise very well! We have 5 that we use for two radios at work. We are on a production floor, so I wish the max volume was a little louder.

Good for people stuck with stock radios.
Need to add an amp. But ur radio is junk and dosnt have an aux. This will work for you. Some people clam the turn on wire dosnt work. Or its on 24/7. The unit takes switched power and the instructions aren't entirely clear. I would still avoid the use of the turn on wire.

Cheap but great performer
Discovered the impedance was not what I needed for my radios but purchased an interface adapter that allows it to match the radio audio input. Use it nearly every day.

Great Shop Radio
I did a lot of research on Bluetooth radios and purchased this one. We love this and the price is even nicer! We use this in our shop and the sound is perfect. Very durable and like that this doesn’t have that “cutesy” look.

Good sound, light weight
Exactly what I expected. Works great. Have one in each vehicle for ham radios. Light enough to hold in place with velcro.

Great sound
I was surprised by the bold sound coming out of this smaller box. I have many bose radios in my house and this sounds just as good.
