It's important to get a good one otherwise your audio will be muffled and others won't hear you. Here's an on-air demonstration that illustrates the point. Microphone A came with the Baofeng. Microphone B was the transceiver's. Microphone C was purchased seperately on ebay . This is a link to the ad. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=401196323119&view=all&tid=675279357027 What was supplied looked differently to what arrived. Manufacturing is sometimes sloppy and people have had some success with modifications eg repositioning the microphone element inside the case or enlarging the hole. Don't have a Baofeng?
