RB89 High-Power GMRS Radio with Bluetooth Headset

The physical radio is pretty straight forward. There is a push to talk button, power\volume knob, flashlight, a 3.5\2.5mm for plugging in a headset and finally the channel up\down buttons, which also act as preset buttons when held. These preset buttons are where ALL the magic happens. By default, they were programmed to turn bluetooth on\off and turn VOX on\off. After I got the programming cable, i changed them to be the flashlight and scan.

Awesome sound quality, clear communication, easy to use, durable, and reliable. Highly recommend for any team or outdoor adventure!

The radio (and earpiece) support PTT and VOX. The radios have the expected two-way radio functionality plus a built-in flashlight. These radios are durable, and I was able to test them to a range of about 1.5 - 2 miles in a suburban area. I highly recommend.

The radio feels like quality, sturdy, and solid. Bluetooth headset works well; battery is good. Range is satisfactory. Audio quality is good. The radio comes with CTCSS tones enabled; you will need a programming cable and download the free program to change this. Otherwise, you will only speak with like radios. Easy to change with a programming cable.

Great radio and amazing range. Instructions are crap. Need a programming cable to get them to work with other groups. Does not have a usb port, would be nice. Batt is great tho’

Super efficient way to communicate with your dental team on a daily basis. No wires needed especially when we are in our full PPE. Highly recommend.

I recently got these walkie-talkies for my warehouse team, and I couldn’t be happier with the performance! Out of the box, these radios were ready to use—no complicated setup required. The pairing with the wireless earpiece was seamless, and I love how compact and lightweight it is. The comfort of wearing the earpiece without worrying about tangled wires is a game changer for us during busy events. The VOX function is incredibly useful for hands-free operation, especially when we’re multitasking. Just a simple press of the buttons, and we’re good to go. This is perfect for our work environment, where being discreet and efficient is crucial. 100% recommended.

Perfect for work! Clear sound, long range, easy to use. Highly recommend for team communication. Great value!

Works well in our mowing job. Good for warehouse or other. Kids like talking to each other all of the house too.

Solid, rugged radio. Just purchased two in Jan 23 so not much real use yet. I was able to determine the sub channels so I could use our older Cobra radios. The delivery schedule is very long but if you order direct from the company it is much quicker. We ordered two more in March for our event over Memorial weekend. Unlike other radios there are not a bunch of buttons that make it easy for a novice to change settings. That is perfect for our use. We wanted a radio that required minimum setup to use out of the box and this is it.

I've tested multiple models of Retevis two-way radios, and they are all solid options. They have all been durable and provided reliable functionality, good range, and come with everything you need to work right out of the box. This set of four radios is no exception. It comes with a 2600 mAh rechargeable battery, pre-paired Bluetooth headset, wrist strap, belt clip, charge cable, and charge base.

I got these because my brother enjoys hunting, and I want him to be able to communicate with his buddies in the coming months. We tested them to see how far away from eachother we could be and we were able to stand on one end of his property with him on the other which is over an acre and they worked fine.

Bought this set for the security team at church. No issues with Bluetooth headset pairing. We haven't had to reconnect week after week; they remember last pairing. I like that they can be charged via USB-C with or without the included dock. The charging cord is dual-headed so the handset and headset can charge together. That also helps with organization to know which headset is paired to which handset. All in all, can't complain and would recommend to others if it fits in their budget.

Quality radio in a great package for the office, a warehouse, or anywhere you'd need to keep a few people in immediate contact.

Great idea for clear and discrete communications. The pairing sequence is easy and once paired, no need to re-pair it. The radio is small enough to hide under a coat or jacket and the Bluetooth ear piece is not off putting as opposed to a wired ear piece.

These are not your normal walkie talkies. These are so much nicer than the inexpensive disposable battery-operated ones that are available. These radios come with rechargeable batteries that are 2600 mAh each. They also come with their own charging base and Bluetooth earpiece so that you don't have to worry about a cable connecting to the radio. They have a USB-C charging cable for the Bluetooth earpiece and even come with a wall adapter which is very unusual nowadays for electronics.

Channels are preset as req'd by FCC. BT is great! Operates as expected.

Worth every penny. Great product and software to modify settings.

Very high quality walkie talkies. Very professional durable look and feel. Range and quality is excellent. I was eventually able to set up the Bluetooth features. You can use the Bluetooth units for regular cell phones.

Great display that disappears when they're not on. Sound quality is tops. The bluetooth is fine, but I can't imagine using it. As a typical GMRS radio though, they are great!

I am so excited, the RB89 and my Cardo Packtalk Bold headset work together! The RB89 and my headset paired successfully and function together well.I appreciate it. It pairs as a cell phone and works when I press the PTT button on the RB89 that is pretty good. In general retevis makes good radios I’ve also got two RT29 radios and two RB85 radios that sound good…

I am very happy to have the RB89 walkie-talkie. Grace helped me confirm the frequency I wanted to use. Great service!
