Call quality is fantastic on Verizon VoLTE. SD calls sound as you would expect and have plenty of volume. HD calls don't sound quite as crisp. I think this is due to the ear speaking not being able to reproduce the high frequencies quite as well. However the low side, Hearing the bass in someones voice is fantastic and overall call quality is on-par with my previous note 7.
I dont like voice call quality , better was on nex 6P , the best I have heard was on iphone 7 plus .

Not easy to beat the iPhone for voice call quality. I have owned quite a few smartphones from various brands and Apple sort of does set the standard there although the old HTC 7 had great call quality before that were the old Nokia phones.

Wut...? Apple is notorious for having terrible antenna arrays and average to poor microphones and earpieces. I had an iPhone 7 that I was using for work testing and it was dropping calls left and right and the earpiece was far to quiet. People had a hard time hearing me as well. This has been the issue for years and is well documented. I'm curious what awful phones you've had in the past to think that an iPhone "sets the standard"...
iPhones are known for ease of use and above average cameras and this is what they market (quite well at that).
This isn't the phone's fault, but I haven't been too impressed with call quality on Project Fi. So far I've only made wifi calls (all on my home wifi) and sometimes the call briefly drops out. There's also a small but noticeable delay. I was really hoping Project Fi would work better because it's such a better deal. Oh well, I'll probably switch back to Verizon pretty soon.
t mobile wifi calls are loud and clear..fantastic call quality with this phone
Mine sounds great on t mobile....

My problem was entirely due to wifi calling. I think the problem lies in the latency of my lousy north-eastern Wisconsin Time Warner internet connection. My router is definitely not the problem. Anyway, I disabled wifi calling and now call quality is fantastic with T-Mobile and US Cellular.

I have owned many phones. Note 2 and then Note 3, HTC 7,Galaxy S6 Edge, and iPhone 6s Plus are some of the new ones which came out of which I had bought. These were bought when they first came out.
Pixel robot
I keep getting lots of people saying that I sound like a robot during calls on my pixel. At first I thought it was wifi calling causing this so I turned it off but people still saying it happens. Might just be a network issue on EE in the UK but never had this problem with my old phone.
how is your call quality over bluetooth? when connected to my car's bt, the call quality is terrible. i had to turn off bt just to hear the other person. with my previous phone, the call over bt is clear. so i know its not my car's bt issue.

Whenever we video record live bands my audio is just distorted and choppy but my friends audio is good on their iphones. I've compared three events. I figured it would happen to all of us because its death metal so it's super loud. But because it didn't happen with theirs I'm super envious.

I guess this is a common issue! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlzotUTrd1Q
Recording live music is always tough I suppose as the microphones have to be capable of hearing you say "OK Google" pretty quietly... clearly in decibel terms that is mile away from volumes at a concert.
If the iPhone does it well that's probably kudos to Apple rather than a big red mark against LG. It does cost half as much afterall!

Yeah good points. I wonder if I turn off google now, it'll make a difference.
There is a microphone issue n the N5. You'll never get goo results. You my improve them by covering up the noise cancellation microphone.
I'm curious if this is kernel related. I know I had the problem when I was on stock. I just played a video that I recorded while on franco kernel and the sound seemed fine.
Its likely just better quality mics on the iPhone, or designed mic just like how Nokia made their phone able to record loud audio concerts over 100 db. Nexus 5 just didn't cover that function.
Or as said perhaps blocking the noise canceling mic may be a work around. A kernel could perhaps fix it but that depends on many things so I doubt that would happen.

My calls have been quite good. Have not lost one. Very clear. If anything I've had to turn down the volume occassionally. Almost as good as Moto phones re: call quality.
this happened to me more than once, but I figured that was because the network keeps changing from 4g to 3g or 2g at my place which causes problems for ongoing calls. Wherever I have good signal strength for 4G, I don't face this issue.
I'm a truck driver and i use my phone all day long making calls in remote areas. I have cricket wireless. This phone gets better reception and has the least dropped calls compared to any other phone i have used (Nexus 5, Nexus 6, leo eco pro 3, Samsung note 3, Nexus 4) couldn't be happier. It seems as though when you go through a bad area the phone doesn't just disconnected like my older phones it waits a few seconds.
I almost returned this phone because of camera and jelly scrolling. I said I'll live with this because reception is so good it's worth the miniscule problems. I don't even notice the jelly now lol. And the camera does fairly good with Google camera app
My only issues with calling would be some weird buzzing noises than occur during some SIP calls. Not regularly though. The ability to activate auto-call-recording is a huge plus imo, I'm a very forgetful person and always having a recording of the last call to check WHAT exactly you should bring again from the grocery store in a life-saver sometimes
In my case its not good.it does not sound crisp.rather very gloomy tone.i dunno if its because of the mono speaker or i am using a 3g sim.and i noticed call quality a little better when making whatsapp voice call.still it lacks crispyness.
Do cases affect call quality, I am considering the official karbon bumper case.
Very good clear loud and crisp sound with best cellular reception
Call quality on op5t is amazing. I have never been experienced this level of quality before even over the high speed internet call. I have made a conference call using VoLTE and HD symbol was there. Also recorded the call and it was loud and clear.

Call quality is not as good as my Samsung S6 Edge that I traded up from. I am pretty disappointed considering the Edge had many issues--despite being an expensive phone--that its call sound quality is way better than the 2 XL.
I haven't had anyone complain about call Quality. Especially when using HD calling. Overall I think that the call Quality is about on par with my Moto X pure, that I am coming from.
I am really unhappy about phone call quality. I went from a S7E on Verizon and now on FI.... so maybe due to FI. I am having issues of people calling me 4-6x and the phone does not ring. There is terrible reverb on phone calls when someone calls me; but sound is better if I call out. Others have complained about the phone call quality. So I am not sure if this is FI or P2XL.... I am seriously thinking of returning to Verizon.... But I would hate to find out the issue is the phone.

it's mostly FI. I had FI before and the call quality varied depending on if you connected to Sprint vs Tmbobile towers.
My call quality is infinitely better than on my s6 edge.
I don't have any issues with call quality on VZ. I also have a network extender, and no problems. I turned on WiFi calling. I have the Google version of the P2XL. My calls have been loud and clear.
Update: the only annoying thing is that all emails or texts interrupt the call with a beep.

The call quality of the phone is great there are no "low volume" calls from the other side and the speaker phone is very loud even in a car atmosphere driving down the highway!
Call quality is at par with OP6 , clarity on volte is awesome and that speaker is louder than OP6

Call quality is bad. The earpiece is not strong enough, and I hardly can hear the other side. I have no problem with my Honor 8x, a budget phone. I think the reason is, the top speaker is very tiny, so you have to adjust it right to your ear hole!
The mic works well unless you cover it, and I accidentally do so over and over. I have had no call without any complain that "I can't hear you", then I notice that I have covered the mic. It seems a single mice on the bottom of the phone.
In general, exactly due to these reasons, I am going to send mine back.
Using VoLTE/VoWIFI on german Telekom, the call quality is excellent and at least on par with landline quality. Voices are very clear and crisp on both sides with no disturbing background noise or electrical buzzing. Coming from a Moto Z, this is a huge improvement for me.
I am on AT&T in the US and I also have fixed the phone so VoLTE is enabled, With that said I have had no issues, I also use speaker phone a lot. On my 3T I had complaints that people had issues hearing me but with the 6T no complaints even on speaker phone. For me call quality I had been good and this has been a fabulous phone for me.

I bit the bullet and traded in my OPO on the last day of the offer. My impressions after several days is the call quality is top notch. I've used VOLTE, WiFi calling, standard cellular, on both speaker and earpiece....all I can say is amazing! Much better than any device I've previously owned. It blows my OPO out of the water.
OnePlus used to claim the One was a "Flagship Killer" this handset truly is. I just hope I can get 4 years out of it like I did my OPO. If so, this has the potential to become a legendary device.

Hello,
long time iPhone user here, last year i have been using the Airpods with my XS MAX that i sold.
I am looking for some "airpods equivelant" for my Samsung device (i got S10 and Note 10+)...i have unsuccesfully tried the Samsung Galaxy Buds, i am very dissapointed because the call quality which is the most important thing to me is not good at all, cant even compare it to the airpods...
So, what bluetooth would you recommend for everyday use, with good call quality so i can talk ?? I wouldn't like something like the old style bluetooth like Plantronics etc, i am looking for something fresh like Airpods, Galaxy Buds etc style
Airpods
You have Jabra. They have goods reviews.
From my experience, all bluetooth headsets have horrible call quality, including the Airpods. In a quiet place any would work fine, but once you go in public, it becomes really bad.
I always carry both wired and wireless headsets at the same time, just in case.
Huawei just released their Airpod clones. You could try one of those; otherwise Jabra's lineup are the best you're going to get without going into $250+ range.
Alternatively, you can just get Airpods. Even on Android, they have superior call quality, and there's plenty of apps on the Play Store that emulate the functionality it has on the iPhone or that the Galaxy Buds have on Samsung devices.
I use Cambridge Audio Melomamia 1's
Superb battery life and more subtle in the ears, I love them.

One minor annoyance about the Melomania 1 is the microUSB charging port on the case.
An alternative to consider is the Creative Outlier Air TWS. IMO, it performs better than the reviews - both from the sonic aspects (details and presence), connectivity and price point, not to mention it's USB-C and rated for 10-hr per charge (plus 20 from the case). When it comes to sound quality and connectivity, they are my favorites. I have yet to experience any connection drop in various environment with plenty of radio-noise. The button is not as convenient as others, and I had to paint the LED-ring with flat black model paint to conceal the annoying pulsating blue light when there is no active sound source, even if BT is connected.
Sony wf-1000xm3. Best in class.
Xiaomi Mi Airdots, 30$ (so cheap) and they sound really good even in calls
I bought just now an Edifier TWS-1 ~ $30 from Ali, with ship from Spain. I am satisfied with it, 8-9 hrs battery and case can charge them 3-4 times, sum 34 hrs. It has built-in mic, I think that is crap, but sound drivers are OK. I recommend it.
I ordered the Liberty 2 Pro from Soundcore. I'll let you know if they are any good.
I vote on Xiaomi Mi Airdots too, cheap and awesome sound.

THIS!
Any wireless bud can only put its microphone as close to your mouth as your ear is. In a perfectly quiet setting, this is fine, as even several inches from your mouth, the signal to noise ratio will be high, and others can likely hear you well. For the galaxy buds, they have a second mic inside the bud (but outside your sealed canal. That isn't a very good place to collect sound from your voice, but is better than having a ton of background noise covering up your talking. So they switch to the inside mic whenever the outside mic measures a lot of noise. They just do some equalization on that signal to remove most of the spectrum outside of your primary voice frequencies (especially for intelligibility). It will sound bad (robot-like), but at least the other side will likely be able to make out your words.
If you want a decent headset for calls, you need to get the mic on a boom fairly close to your mouth. That's why you see so many of the wired headset folks holding the mic close to their mouth when speaking. I too keep a wired headset with a boom just for calls. Not needed if I have my buds in and I am in a quiet room, but pretty much necessary any other time.
Airpods works fine with Android. I'm using an app called MaterialPods to check battery status etc.
Creative Outlier Air. A little pricey, but they have great battery life and their sound quality is well above their price range. I bought them for my daughter and I will buy them for myself too.

I googled them and.. I mean... They might sound good, but it would be nice if they won't look like buttplugs for your ears
OP, why not just use Airpods? They work great on Android devices, you still get the same decent AAC audio and the fit and design clearly works for you. I have some of the Melomania as well, but I use Airpods when I'm out and about.
Creative Outlier Air.
Great sound quality, highest battery endurance and very good for talking. No dropouts or connectivity problems in general with my Galaxy S10.
The buttons could have been better, but it's just a minor annoyance.
