Additional comments are welcome.
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.

I've been told my voice isn't as loud as my Moto X
I voted good. It's acceptable to me, but not as nice as the Moto X. On both ends of the call.
I think it's excellent. Coming from gs4

Motorola devices have always had excellent reception and call quality. I was thinking about the Moto X for that reason alone.

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.

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.

This ^. I converted to Moto from HTC and I'm blown away by the call clarity and the lack of "I can't hear you" on the other end.

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.
I had an HTC One until last Thursday. It had to go back because the camera was defected.
I also noticed the call quality was probably the lowest I've experienced any phone! There was a constant hissing noise which was often louder than the caller, there were popping sounds and other distracting noises. In general. It was terrible.
I have a new HTC One On order and it should be with me this week. I'm hoping that this unit won't suffer the same low call quality as the last.
For those who already own the one how would you describe the call quality?
Absolutely fine for me. Maybe you had a generally defective device?
Best call quality of any phone I've owned, regardless of all the other issues I've had with it

So I've had the HTC One for about 10 days now, and I have to say that it has by far the best call quality of any phone I have ever owned (and that's a lot of phones).
As an example, I was in a busy shopping center the other day, near a children's play area, and took a call, so was expecting the usual complaints from the other side about the screaming in the background, but when I questioned the other party, they said that the could hear the background noise but it was not distracting.
By comparison, I took a call from a colleague with an iPhone 5 last week, and had to ask them why they were talking to me while playing with their children (the screams were deafening!), but it turned out that their daughter was in another room already. The background suppression on the One seems to work very well.
My mother is hard of hearing and calling her on a mobile was previously fraught with difficulties, but she has mentioned how much clearer I sound when calling her now.
I have not experienced any hissing, clicks or other interference.
I'm also impressed with the call quality in poor areas. I was a little concerned that the One was showing poorer reception at home that my previous HTC Sensation. Experiences on that phone had shown that it was difficult to make or receive calls in specific places in the house, but using the One in the same locations suffers no degradation.
The same effect can be seen when using the One with a variable signal for example on a train; places where calls would drop with other phones are now accessible.
My classmate had got the phone and I have used it, the call quality is great.
Just reinforcing what everybody else is saying, call quality is brilliant for me to.

ive had numerous HTC handsets and this is by far the best call quality so far:good:
Thanks for your replies. The unit I sent back must have been dodgy in the camera and phone department!
Looking forward to the new one this week.
I was wondering how everyone else's experience with moto x call quality on Sprint (i'm in Northern Illinois). For me, it has been somewhat poor as I callers can sound somewhat distorted and I can hear what sounds like hissing in the background. Overall, I would say the call quality is worse than it was with my Galaxy S2. Furthermore, I know it's not a bad earpiece because if I use Groove IP then the calls sound perfect. Again, just wondering what other Sprint customers experiences have been like.
Mines my Moto X sometimes sounds bad during calls and sometimes people can't hear me when I'm talking

I have experienced that also. I live around north shore. Call quality has great when i got the phone but it seems that it got worse.

I'm using a Fido (Rogers) Moto X, call quality sounds muffled compared to my HTC One X and tweaking it a bit using Volume+ (requires root) helps a bit, I would assume Sprint's firmware might need some work.
call quality on sprint w/ Moto X
Call quality is horrible with my Moto X on Sprint in Boise, ID. I don't know if its the device or the network. And it seems like it got worst in the last month or so. When I first got my motorola X, phone call quality was not excellent but it was better than now. There is a hissing Noise in the Background When Using Handset when someone is talking on the other end. My wife has an iphone 5 and it does not do that so it makes me think its not the network. But I went into the local sprint store and tried one of their display moto x phones and its doing the same thing. Do all Moto X phones do this? I get the hissing noise when I use the handset to my ear and when I'm using and ear-bud as well therefor I don't think its a defective speaker in my phone, probably a software issue.
Anybody have any opinions on the call quality for the Droid Turbo?
Incoming, outgoing, how it sounds in general volume wise, tone wise, etc?
Thoughts?
Earpiece volume is low unless you have your ear positioned in precisely the right spot.

I've had no problems at all. No low volume, sounds great to me. Last phone I had was galaxy s3 and it seems better.
Call quality is OK.
The problem is the loudspeaker, that is not that bad, but its not good as the ones found on Moto X or HTC M8.
So, Im thinking in buying a JBL Clip.
My wife and I both pre-ordered n7's. The 2 phones are great. I noticed i couldn't hear my wife sometimes when i called her note 7 from my note 7. She then had other people tell her she sounded muffled, or like she was far away in a tunnel. It seemed that if her mouth drifted slightly away from the phone all sound would drop. I tested this problem by staying in my car on phone with her. Visibly i could validate that the sound dropped off when she didn't have her mouth close to the mic. Never had this issue on prior note 2, 3, or 4. I exchanged hers for a new note but problem persisted and she then said she couldn't hear me sometimes. I found myself obsessing on this wondering if we're crazy or are there any other people who have and love the phone but think phone call quality sucks slightly.

Is hers in a case? My mother had this issue with her s5 and it wound up being the case it was in.

Possible side effect of waterproofing the phone?

I have had the exact same issue with my phone as well.
My very first call with the phone, the person on the other side couldn't hear me until my mouth was practically touching the mic. Anytime I moved more than like a quarter of an inch from it, I dropped off. Since then, I've also tested this out with my friends and they say that as soon as I moved away from the phone, it sounds like I've "dropped off the edge of the Earth". And whenever I try to use my headphones that were clear on my V10, they say I sound muffled. I've resorted to only using the phone at home now cuz I have to pretty much use speakerphone for anyone to hear me normally.
I've tried finding setting for like Voice Clarity or Call Clarity in the Phone app, but nothing. I would love to find a solution, but I'm hoping this is a fluke that the once I get a replacement phone, it'll go away.
And for the record, I've been using my phone naked since I got it, running Stock OS.

Wow, same exact situation. My wife had no case and I did. It's something that I've never experienced before but is so god damn annoying. ALSO..... occasionally mixed into this equation is my wife and I separately can hear each other sketch in and out of call by a evil robotic sound. Kind of like a predator alien. Lasts like 1-3 secs. I absolutely love the phone and will stick with it but again, never had these problems on my other notes which i loved as well. Waterproofing is a extremely likely culprit that i didnt think off. Sucks!

Where was that option? I don't remember seeing it. I always found call volume to be too low and was looking for that extra volume that existed in my Note5.
Interestingly I'm using my loaner s7 edge where volume and clarity is far better, like my note5.
