First of all, skip the crappy FRS "walkie-talkies" and invest in these. I've seen the other radios on Amazon. Buyer beware!
I bought a set of six to communicate with co-workers in a sheet metal fabrication facility and they have gone above and beyond. We use them with the "Retevis Covert Acoustic Tube In-ear Air Acoustic Earpiece Headset," also available on Amazon, and I couldn't be more pleased.
You will DEFINITELY want to invest in a programming cable. I bought the "Baofeng USB Programming Cable" (which can be found at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008RZJHJU) and downloaded the software to program my radios for free. All the information and resources you could possibly need for programming these radios is at [...]
As for the radios themselves, they've performed flawlessly. While they aren't the most solidly constructed radios on the market, they are quite well put together for the price. The range is quite impressive considering the power output. I have also gotten two full days of use out of a single battery charge.
My only complaint with these radios concerns the earpiece/mic which is included with each radio. To put it bluntly, they suck. The earpiece is awkward and uncomfortable, and the sound quality and positioning of the microphone is bad.

Not worth it for long terms
I bought 10 units of this radios, worked well the first month but then one by one started to have problem with the On/Off button, turns on and off every minute making it hard to use. The antenna is made of very poor material. I even purchase the 3 years protection plan and was waist of money, I contact the protection plan and they said that I have to contact the manufacture to get a replacement. I definitely not recommend this radio to anyone.
