BAOFENG BF-S112 Two Way Radio Speaker

Baofeng BF-S112 Two Way Radio Speaker looks very much like the one shown here. Sound clarity good, experiencing no feedback whatsoever even when I talk close into mic to test it out. It has a sturdy clip on the back of it and holds firmly in place when attached to coat. Since it's a two pin adapter it should work well with alot of other Two Way Radios so if you don't have a Baofeng don't automatically think that just because it a Baofeng BF-S112 Two Way Radio Speaker that it won't work with any Two Way Radio you might already have or might be thinking about getting. I think for the cost it's a very good deal and a well put together product and I would recommend it to anyone thinking about buying a two way radio speaker. Satisfied with quality and it's performance.

It works great with the right listen only earpiece plugged, even in loud environments, concerts (right next to stage) etc, it has also held up through heavy rain and all, just be advised that the rubber protector over the port to connect the listen only ear piece is kind of stubborn, so it can pry against the jack when plugged in, possible making the jack slightly unhinge. Without the earpiece it still work good if you arent in a super loud/noisy environment. Otherwise I am happy with this purchase! And would recommend for folks that work concerts, security, or special events, etc.

First, it is not as pictured in the main photos. However, one of our fellow Amazoners supplied us with a couple of pictures of the actual item. I prefer the older style , but the new one has features that the other didn't. Outside of the general styling changes are the additions of a red transmit LED and a covered earphone jack. I think its a fair trade off. With that said......most speaker/mic cost at a minumum $45, so i really wasn't sure what to expect. Because my Baofeng UV-5R+ was of very good quality. I took a chance. I'm glad i did. The build quality is very good for the price. The cord is fairly heavy duty and plugs into the radio without a problem. The cord itself is vey stiff, so i would suggest excercising (stretching) the cord for a bit before you use it so it won't put too much pressure on the stress points. The clip on the back is sturdy, but a little short for my taste, and the ratcheting on the clip is a bit loose. The mic has an ear jac. I haven't tried it yet, but should come in handy. The only problem is that the earphone cover is plastic and molded directly to the mic stress reliever. So if you use the ear jack you may not be able to plug the cover back in. The speaker is plenty loud and clear with litte to no distortion. The mic transmits fine but is a bit directional, but that is on purpose. I'm not a big fan of the PTT (push to talk) button. It works via a heavy and loud click. Sounds like a childs toy, but it really does feel solid and should last...just annoying and surely not stealthy..LOL.I would recomend that anyone with a compatible Baofeng radio buy one of these. They are well worth the money and work just great. the only reason i didn't give five stars is because nothing is perfect....Hope this helped

Nice

This thing didn't pass muster as a component of my poor man's mobile. I'm posting this same review for all the other accessories of the build, but not for the radio which I love and reviewed separately. Here's the build:BaoFeng BF-F8HP Nagoya UT-308UV 22-Inch Magnetic Mount VHF/UHF Antenna SMA-Female for AnyTone, BaoFeng, and YaesuBaoFeng BL-5 12V Battery Eliminator for BF-F8HP and UV-5R RadiosBaofeng BF-S112 Two Way Radio SpeakerRegarding each part. Love the radio.The antenna is good and comes nicely packaged with all the needed parts. What is really nice is that the antenna, base, and feed lines are all separate pieces. Mix and match however you want. The base magnet is strong. The antenna and feed lines work well. The long feed line is about 10' which is plenty for me.The 12V adapter is also OK. It's a tight fit, but does fit. It's also pretty cheap - so modify it as you will to change connectors, move the input line, etc. Personally, I think feeding the wire gets in the way because it enters at the bottom of the radio. Such is life. Maybe I'll modify this thing to use a dedicated circuit instead of a cigarette lighter socket - and put on a longer power cord while I'm at it.The speaker thing. -hate- This thing almost kills the build. The first time I contacted someone they reported weak audio. I pulled the hand set and spoke directly into the radio and my audio improved. Also, the wire coil is too short and stiff. Wayyyy to short and stiff. You end up pulling the radio around by the wire. You might as well just hold the radio. This speaker component is junk.But.... It turns out that wrapping the power cord of the 12V adapter and the antenna feed line is an OK solution.Anyways, this was a fun experiment but in the end it seems better to just use a handheld as a handheld and to get a real mobile for the car.
