Forgive me in advance. This is my first Android phone, and my first time on Verizon.
I'm adjusting heavily to Android. I've been used to the iPhone 4 for the last year, and though I detested it, there are things the iOS has that Android 2.3 doesn't.
One of those issues is the call quality. I'm not sure what it SHOULD sound like, but to me, this sounds like I'm at NASA talking to the ISS, or that I'm talking thru wax paper (like a kazoo), or that it sounds like early VoIP days (before NetMeeting).
Am I way off base here, or is there a setting I haven't found, or do I have a dud?
Thanks for any help you can provide,

Call quality is really good for me, my only issue is that it isn't as loud as on my old Eris, even with in-call volume up all the way.

Agreed. Call volume could certainly be louder, but I have absolutely no issues with the quality at all. If it really is bad you may want to bring it to Verizon for a replacement.

I had no issues with my D3 as far as call quality is concerned. I'll admit that it was choppy during activation, but after that I've had no problems with call quality whatsoever.

Motorola's call quality is light years beyond the one you'd find on HTC phones.

Don't let the HTC fanboys hear you . HTC fanboys are too blinded by HTC's crappy sense and metal body to realize that their phones sound like a cold diesel engine.

Get the LG Tone+ HBS-730, search on amazon (I can't post links yet.). I have the first generation of the LG Tone HBS-700 the sound quality is alright if you aren't an audiophile. I've read that the sound quality is better in the 730s. The style of these make them perfect to wear under a collared shirt. I use them everyday and get about 3-5 days worth of listening between charges. The headset even vibrates when you get a call.
I have the Sony MW600. LINK. I love them. The majority of the time I only want to keep one ear bud in, and with these I can do that. You can also use any kind of headphones with them.
I had the Plantronics BB903+'s. I thought their sound quality was really good, and I was all excited to use them with my phone when I go mountain biking. I got so insanely frustrated with the sound cutting out every now and then that I stopped using them. A day later, my dog ate them. Eh, whatever. :good:
As I read around through reviews of other comparable bluetooth headsets I can't help but to question that perhaps audio skipping is somewhat common. As a result, I've personally chosen to stick to traditional headphones. That being said, I'm super curious if anybody has experience with bluetooth headphones that DON'T cut out at all. Eh?
i love my jaybird freedoms. the only thing that is even remotely annoying about them is they charge with a mini usb, other than that, they're light, have great sound and super comfortable. before that i tried a pair of moto ones that were just an all 'round unpleasant experience.
Thanks for suggestions guys, will mull it over :thumbup:

I have both of those units. The trade off is; HBS-700 ok sound, but long BT range (25ft) vs. HBS-730 better sound, but short BT range (10ft).
Sony Ericsson MW600 user here as well. I love that lil sucker. I use my Shure SE215's (clear) and any headsets I can muster like my Sol Republic Amps HD or Sol Republic Ultra's or whatever you have and like. I mean the sound is not like it is when plugged directly in, but sound better than stock nonetheless. :laugh:
I just ordered a pair of Sennheiser MM 100's, will update with how they are once I get them.

I have the sony wireless headset pro, the new one. It is really good, it has wolfson audio for the decoder and even takes a micro sd card. It is easily the best bluetooth headphones I have tried sound quality wise.

I was looking at those but they were a bit out of my price range
I got my MM 100's in today, and I'm impressed. Very clear audio for something this size, as expected from Sennheiser. They feel a bit cheap but I think that's more in the interest of making them light rather than saving money. I don't think they're worth the retail price ($150 ), but I got mine factory refurbished from a seller on amazon for around $40 and they came looking brand new, in refurb packaging of course.
Since I paired these with my phone first I tried call quality, and nobody had any issues understanding me.
EDIT: After some more listening it seems these headphones are lacking in bass... not that there isn't enough volume, but it is literally cutting out frequencies.
I hava nokia bh214 stereo bluetooth ,it's perfect for music & talk
I use the Sony Ericsson MW600, great batterytime, you can use whatever headphones you want and now it's almost for free.
Bought the Sony WS1, little on the expensive side but have alot of functions, same as the MW600 you can use other headphones but the ones that comes with are exellent, SD-slot only drawback is the batterytime...
I use a set of Motorola SF600's and a Plantronics M155 (for single ear A2DP goodness while hiking).
My thoughts on the SF600 are far different than moth peoples, apparently. I love them. I have had zero issues with them, and I am tough on them. They sound PHENOMENAL and the range is incredible. They also support Apt-X, but since the Nexus 7 doesn't, that isn't really a concern. Apt-X is awesome though.
The Plantronics is... OK. It rattles at high volume, and is generally annoying, but its great for the group hikes I go on (for when I am tired of hearing people whine and blabber on ) and it is really good for listening to music in the office.

The reviews that I read about the 730's were that they were a downgrade. Owners of the 700 and the 730 said to not get the 730.
They also said that more than 5' away or loss of line of sight caused the 730s to drop out.

I'd say the phone has excellent call quality, it's loud and crisp, I couldn't ask for more really.
Bump.
whoever voted poor must be an iphone user
I haven't voted until I make more calls but of the three I've made, every person said my voice was choppy. I find it hard to blame the network because I have full signal and there were no complaints on my previous phone. The only difference is I had to switch to a micro sim but I dunno how that could be an issue.
I've made a few calls so far and all sounded fine.
The volume wasn't as loud as other phones but the sound was clear.
I've run into what might be a problem on my phone. When I send or receive a call, the first few seconds the other person on the line couldn't hear me. Then the sound would slowly increase till it was normal. I only have two bars where I'm at, so I'm hoping it's bad reception. Funny my wife has a moto x and she has full bars and the call quality is excellent. Oh,I can hear the other people loud and clear. Maybe it's my microphone.

Yeah the X is my first one, its call quality is superb. I was expecting the N5's to be pretty bad considering everything I've read about LG (the N5 is my first LG as well) but it's actually pretty good. Quite pleased.
I have a call quality issue. My voice sounds terrible to the person I'm talking to. I've left myself voicemails to confirm.
This isn't necessarily a problem with the phone. I think most noise cancelling systems are confused by the specific tone of my voice, and end up trying to cancel pieces of it.
I had the same issue on the Galaxy S3. The S3 had a setting in the dialer app to disable noise reduction and that fixed my issue. I have not found a setting like that on the N5.
As a test, I put my finger over the noise cancelling microphone and left myself a voicemail and I think it sounded better. But that was only 1 test, so I'm not certain about that yet.
comparing to the iPhone 5S, 5 and other devices I've used that I think were great. It's on par. I'd say excellent.
Ive experienced excellent call quality, both on regular netwrok, and VOiP with GrooveIP
compared to my desire hd the nexus 5 is like talking face to face. I always had issues with the htc and i was told people were talking mostly to their echoes and not to me.
This is the best phone, call quality wise, that I've had since my last dumb-phone.
I'm a little confused; however... I don't see a pole.

Hey guys, I've currently got the note 3 and absolutely love it. The only problem is that when at the gym and outside, the note 3 is a bit too wieldly to use as a music player. It keeps falling out of my pocket during sets and kind of kills the vibe.
I've got an iPod 5th gen but after getting back to android, I use it less than an hour per week. So I guess my question is: do you think the Moto X would be a good alternative to the IPod as a music player and to have a glance at notifications? It's a good size and is very pocketable. I also plan to use it as a backup phone when travelling and camping.
Im selling my iPod on eBay so I'll be using that money to possibly buy a Moto X on eBay. Some of the phones on eBay have a bad ESN but I live here in Aus so will that affect me at all?
Sorry if its a bit long but thanks in advanced guys

If you are looking at a music player for the gym, I would honestly say that something like an iPod shuffle or a SanDisk player might be better....
Now as a phone I think you will really like this device! Active notifications and touch less controls really make this phone unique. Plus the curved back and dimple in the back of the phone make it have a truly amazing form factor. Specs don't look the greatest on this device, however they don't exactly site what you are getting either.
For a music player, and just using this as a dedicated gym device I personally don't see the point (not trying to sound rude). As a phone I would say this would be an amazing device if you are willing to give up the screen real estate and S-pen.
All and all I wish you the best of luck in your decision as I do understand the problem you are having and that you want to look after your devices. Just my two cents though. I wish you a good day.

Thanks heaps for the reply. I didnt see it rude at all.
But yeah that's true, I would probably be better off just using one of my old iPods for the gym but wanted to use the Moto X for when I'm out and about. The note 3 is just a bit annoying to keep having to remove from my jeans just to change the song.
I still want to use the note 3 as my main device buy just have the Moto X as my dedicated music player and backup phone. Now I'm kind of doubting if its a good idea. What do you think? I might see how much the iPod sells for then decide from there.

Tough call. With the announcement of Motorola dropping the price to $300, it very well might be worth it if you can justify the price.
I did the opposite of you, switched to the Moto X and kept my Note 2 as a tablet/backup phone.
My Moto X is my daily driver (coming from an S4...). I use it at the gym for music and watch downloaded TV shows (when on cardio machines). I find the X is great at the gym because of the active notifications - just need to hold the notification to see who it is + subject, let go and screen goes off and it's back in my pocket.
Sound isn't quite as good as the S4 with the same headphones - using something like PowerAmp you can adjust the EQ to get desired fidelity.

Yeah I saw that deal and was really excited but then I realised that its only for the US. I live here in Australia so it doesnt work for me unfortunately.
The Moto X must be really good because iv'e even heard of people moving from the note 3. Sounds like a great device for a great price.

Sorry I didn't read all the replies, but my girlfriend got me some bluetooth headphones last year for Christmas to use on the treadmill. I like listening to music but don't care for armbands or holding my phone in my pockets, so it I put it in the small cubby space on the treadmill. This required a rather long headphones cord to keep from pulling the headphones out of my ears.
I was skeptical about the BT headphones but they work great. There aren't super fancy ones, maybe $50, but they work very well and have player controls built in, as well as a phone functions, but I've never used the phone functions.
It allows me to set the phone down with my water bottle and not worry about it. I use the "gym" (can't really call it that) at my apartment so I just leave it sitting with my jacket (it's a pretty small room), but if you just move it from machine to machine it would work fine, in my opinion.
It would also allow you to keep your stuff on the note and not have to swap devices around etc. Just my thoughts.

Yeah I really don't want to have to keep swapping data between the two phones so sounds greeat. The Moto X sounds perfect for gym use.
Now my only problem is that on further research, I found out that the Sprint version of the Moto X is CDMA and down here in Aus, we only use GSM. The only Moto X's in my price range are all Sprint versions with a Bad ESN. Im wondering if I am better off:
1) Buying the Moto x and not being able to use it as a backup phone (which isn't really important but would be a very nice option). Unless there is a way to use it here?
2) Buy a brand new Moto G
3) Buy a second hand HTC One with a bad speaker (needs replacing)
EDIT: 4) Buying a Moto X that has a smashed screen and wont turn on, hoping to fix it
All of these options fit my budget but really not sure on which one would be best. Anyones thoughts would be greatly appreciated
3 of those 4 options sound terrible. LOL. Get a new Moto g then. The only sensible option of the 4 you listed.

Or, you could save a tonne of money and just buy a good Bluetooth headset dongle like the Sony SBH-50, pair it to the Note 3, plug in your favourite pair of headphones, and get the best of all worlds. A small OLED screen for track info and caller id, volume,play/pause/next buttons,and a mic. It's under $80 CDN, so definitely in your price range. Lol.
A separate $300+ device to keep in sync and swapping SIM cards all the time? Is that really worth the hassle?

I was implying buying a pair of bluetooth headphones instead of a new device. Pair the headphones with the Note you already have and just don't keep it in your pocket. Then you don't have to swap devices, and you can listen to music, etc. Spend $100 on a nice pair of headphones instead of a few hundred on a phone that you'll only use for music.

Try something like the LG HBS-700. They are often on slickdeals for $40 or so shipped. Or here http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronic...TF8&qid=1390925651&sr=1-2&keywords=LG+HBS-700 (slightly different model)
However if you're doing a lot of running you may prefer the type that twist around your ears
The ones my girlfriend got me for Christmas are these, or very similar to these: http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Accessories-SHB6017-28-Bluetooth/dp/B00560YMPI
She got them last year on sale, so I know she didn't pay that much for them.
They work very well because they do clip on to each ear and there is only a cord between them, so it doesn't bounce around on your head when you move or run. Sound quality is great and the battery lasts for quite a while. I use it for an hour or two on days when I work out and usually charge twice a week. Charges to full in about an hour, I believe.
Does anyone suggest a BT or wired headset that they use for hands free calling and think is really, really good?
I've used the Plantronics Voyager Legend for a year (always update firmware), but after 3 months of use on the LG G2 I'm ready to ditch it. Bad on business calls. People say I'm tinny, my voice cuts in/out, and also (showstopper) it randomly drops calls.
Appreciate any suggestions (based on experience/use) out there...particularly for business use...

Thanks. Wow, I'd feel like I just walked out of the orthodontist wearing that thing. I may order one and give it a shot!
How about best wired options? Do you know of any? I may as well compare wired if I'm going to get a beast like this.
I've been enjoying using the LG Tone+ HSB-730 Bluetooth headset. Great battery life, range, and ergonomics. It's also the little things like being able to put on/take off a shirt while still listening that make these awesome. I've always used wired sets before but now I'm completely over with untangling wires and wearing out the cable near the headphone jack.
If you're going to get these here's a word of caution: there are plenty of fakes sold by Amazon's 3rd party retailers so be sure to get one shipped from Amazon itself. Search YouTube and Amazon customer comments for 'LG Tone+ fake' to know what's real.
