Good, but not waterproof – 3.5mm+2.5mm Clip-on Microphone for Kenwood Walkie Talkies (1.5-Meter Cable) Reviews

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month

Pros:
lightweight, long flexible cable, everything fits. speaker is loud and voice is reasonably clear not in the description: on the bottom there is an 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can listen privately instead of using the inbuilt speaker
Cons:
plastic is lightweight and cheap, it does not feel very solid. but it won't break easily, i think. big con was for me, that it didn't half an our of rain. water leaked to the inside and switch / microphone / speaker, none worked anymore. also, that could possibly cause more severe shortages or putting the transmitter on send all the time.
Other:
Bottomline:
Its good and cheap, but not very robust and thus not for heavy usage. I now ordered the more expensive KENWOOD mic, which hopefully can withstand a little rain.
