Does anyone knows how the Turbo performs in really loud environments when recording?, or if someone can make any test regarding this?.
I had the Nexus 4 and it was a really bad performance, and then changed to the Nexus 5 that was a small improve over the Nexus 4, but I would like to know if the Turbo performs better in clubs or concerts.
Thanks

Update Nov 26
Like no one answered before, I decided to record myself and put it here so everybody can see the quality of audio and video of this phone in loud environments. It's not so loud like a club or concert, but still music could be heard from my house to the street and the other houses around mine.
What level of loudness are you talking about? Traffic, busy streets? I don't have the habit of using the voice activated functions while walking on the streets, but I do live in a noisy neighborhood and so far the phone has been working well. I've used voice commands I traffic with good results too.

I'm not talking about the voice commands, I'm talking about recording video in a club, concert or really loud environments.

There's a good example in this video, at 5'58":

Thanks, but still is not a loud environment, I'm looking something like this:

Maybe put it near a medium/big sound system at max volume would do the trick, I want to see how it works with concerts and really loud environments.
Thanks again.

Hey everyone, I've been pretty happy with my Xperia Z until yesterday when I was out and people called me and I couldn't really hear anything they said as the volume was too low in the earphone.
The earphone was / is clean and dry and I have tried different settings and of course max volume etc but it just seems to be too low?
Anyone had any better success with talking or rather listening to people trying to talk to you in traffic or noisy environments?
Surely Sony's flagship phone must let you actually hear what people say when they are calling you?
EDIT: I actually tried the service menu and the tests are pretty loud and very clear compared to calls... so at least the hardware seems to be ABLE to do it's job...

I find the sound quality from the earpiece terrible. It's not only quiet but very muffled and I can't really hear people on the phone even in quiet environments. I'm going to take the phone back because of this!

sound on z not good maybe due of water resistance of the phone

If you haven't yet, try turning off the Speaker voice enhancement under Call settings. That actually improved the in-call sound quality quite a bit for me.

Hm mine was off but turned it on now to see differences, will have a go tomorrow. Also there is a EQ for calls there as well that I haven't tried yet. I'm hoping that it's just the firmware that needs some extra push as the service menu proves Z can provide some serious quality in the hardware...
please confirm your problem here , so sony support can see this

Yes the problem still remains no matter what settings you do... I wonder if a rooted phone with a sound mod might increase the volume on the call side...?

Hey I was driving home from work where I safely put my phone "hands free" and had it record over some loud music. I embarrassingly sang a little bit too, to show the recording capabilities.

Well, that definitely sounds better than when I've tried to use the N4 to record anything loud, but it's hard to tell how that volume compares to what I've tried to do. I'd love it if someone could record the same loud source on both an N4 and N5 to see if the microphone is any better or not.

Oh yeah i forgot i recorded it with my n4 too. Ill upload it in a bit.
Proper etiquette aside (hint: don't use speakerphone while doing your "business" in a public bathroom), rate this thread to express how you think the BLU R1 HD's speakerphone performs. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it's loud and it's clear.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Speakerphone calls have an echo problem for the other party. They will hear their own voice. I have witnessed this on regular calls, Skype, and Hangouts. Somehow WeChat calls don't have this problem. So far, this is the only downside I have found to this phone.
Weak speaker, but usable
Some app to increase a bit the sound of notifications and calls. I listen rather low ...

To increase the maximum volume, install an EngineerMode app from the play store - they all seem to be about the same. Then follow these instructions to increase the maximum volumes: http://www.zopomobileshop.com/zopo-rom/how-to-increase-zopo-mobile-phone-mic-loudspeaker-and-ringtone-volume/

ill try that later, we have this as a backup phone that we lend the kids and stuff but wife has been complaining how crappy the quality and level is. the back speaker thing is kinda bad design imo. we are also spoiled by htc phones over the years and this is our first non htc in a long while which have fantastic sound.
now after doing your "mod" is it distorted or does it still sound good? sometimes louder isnt always better.
It makes it louder, but doesn't change the sound quality at all. In my opinion, the speaker is the weakest aspect of this phone. Try adjusting it and see what you think. You can always change it back if you don't like it - you're just adjusting a setting. But for $60, I really can't complain much, and bluetooth works fine.

Worked great, quality isn't the best but for 60 bucks I can't complain. I have used mostly front speaker devices before.

What do you mean when you say that Oneplus manipulates music? Is it the audio from the headphone jack and doesnt switching off the audio tuner fixes that?
So what is your result? Can you make it video with voice and post it somewhere?

I don't have any issues
But I have bought many devices past years. And what I learnt is that no mobile device is perfect according... You have to compromise somewhere...
Sometimes it's the
audio chipset( bad music quality)
Camera
Development
Ram
CPU
Looks
Screen
Or etc
You have to decide what you can compromise
So when you call someone, there is no complaint with your voice, or when you record video, a voice is clear, no muffled?

yup no one has reported me any issue of voice on call no matter its a normal call or whats app and one more thing
i am not using stock rom
I find the sound too low for my liking. When watching movies or playing games I often need to use 80% or more volume.
Any way to increase the sound otherwise apps that actually work??
Thanks.
The volume is a bit higher with Dolby Atmos switched on.

I am using Dolby Atmos. It does improve sound quality and loudness slightly, shame there is no software than can amplify, none seem to work...
If you're willing to unlock the bootloader and root, Viper4android is a solution....

I'm not ready to root my phone yet but I've been using Viper4Android for my previous phones, and this is definitely what you're looking for.
Use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodev.volume.booster
Do not set to loud as it may cause damage to speakers, I've set it to 5%

I haven't tried with Bluetooth, I believe it would work as it raises the whole system sound.
I confess I only use this when taking a shower and watching iPlayer Or Netflix show, or Spotify etc.
