Your other option is to literally buy a bunch of Baofeng branded speaker mics for $5 a pop, and use em until they break. I recently picked up a pair of speaker mics that have both the A and B PTT channels in one. It works with my UV82 so I can dual-monitor. So far it's held up well. My only complaint would be that the transmit audio quality is not as good on the cheaper mics.

This is what I ended up doing with another buddy of mine. We grabbed the Retevis dual pin speaker mic (one channel only) off amazon, and although it was cheap, it worked pretty well for our purposes. Survived a milsim with constant mud and rain and slamming into plywood, so we'll see if it can survive multiple

Thanks for the suggestions Ricochet, but uhhhh... I can't justify spending more on the speaker mic than the radio itself XD. Maybe in the future when I get a better radio I'll look into some of their nice offerings.
