What is the quality of the speakphone function?

I have been very happy with my purchase and I'm extremely picky. However if your looking for something for a backyard party that is very loud then you may not want this . Other than that its perfect .

My wife loves her Bravern and uses it all the time with all of her iDevices. She often uses the speaker phone function with her iPhone and says it works just fine.

It is very very bad tried many times and the other party cannot even come close to understanding what you are saying

When I've used the speakerphone I can hear the caller very well. However, they can't seem to hear me. Honestly, I don't know if I'm supposed to speak to my phone or to the speaker. I love the Braven; I mainly use it to play Pandora radio.

The speaker phone is pretty good, sounds clear and the mic is sensitive enough. The interface with android is also good; you can switch to phone if you don't want the conversation public, then it'll go right back to the music when you hang up.

The microphone is meh. It works well inside on phone calls. It works poorly if there is ambient noise wind, music, etc. I've had many comments from people, "could you please report that ,it seemed garbled."

The clarity is excellent. I have had no problems with the system. The speakerphone part is great too, it helps because sometimes it is hard for me to hear.

The speakerphone is pretty good. For playing music, it's decent. I don't think there's any improvement over the original V3 RAZR, but I wake up everyday to a mp3 I uploaded to my V3xx and it does the job.

The sound quality seems to be great, but the Voice output quality seems to be less than impressive according to the other side of my conversations.

No, the speaker function is by far the weakest feature on this product. My hearing is not bad and sometimes I really have to listen to get the message. Otherwise this is a great phone.

i would compare the speaker to sound quality of a speaker on a high-end cell phone

It is (qualified)crap!! The only place that I can use it is through my car. On it own, you can't hear a call and others report that it has a background noise that drowns out your speech. I have not tried it with a head ear piece thingy. There is no instruction book and it took forever for me to happen upon my contacts loading. The internet processing is very slow. With all that said, if you just need something temporarily it will suffice. For me, I was waiting to find a digitizer to replace the screen for my Dell Venue phone as I did not want another contract or to drop 500 to 600 for an unlocked phone. Good luck.

No, actually I like this phone but I can't hear the person on the other end that good. I always have to click on Speaker to hear, but then I get static.

Yes, occasionally, but in those cases switching to the handset only marginally improved the quality. For me the problem seemed to be that the conference bridge service and my digital phone service didn't work well together to maintain call fidelity. When I switched to my cell phone for the call, the audio fidelity was satisfactory. Go figure.

the sound quality is acceptable. i can change the volume while i am on the call, but when i change the volume, the phone put on speaker, (altavoz en español)

Well, I would rate the audio quality similar to your phone conversation quality.

I've found the call quallity to be very poor as the microphone pics up all background noises. Callers complain of not being able to hear you speak unless you're almost shouting. I almost always switch to the phone when a call comes in.

Google Voice Probably not (there login requirements are the issue and the settings in this devise are limited) but, The comment that it will not work with anything is not fair. I have been using it for several months attached to an Asterisk based system audio is good and haven't had a problem with it. It's audio files seem to be set for European sounds (broken busy signal when the party you dial is ringing) which drove my wife crazy to begin with. Over all I like it.

I've had my phone for 8 months and haven't had a dropped call yet (not that I use it terribly often, but certainly more than 16 times ...), and although the ringing tone is very quiet I have never had trouble with volume or quality of voice. Sounds like you either don't have good coverage where you are or you got a bad phone - have you tried a different phone under the same circumstances?

You can make and answer calls in speaker mode. It is pretty low volume to hear so may have trouble if in a place with lots of noise. I usually just play music which is great sound quality so not sure this case is for you.

Honestly I can't say. I haven't used it as I use headphones with a mic attached to them when I make calls so I know I hear the other person clearly directed in my ears and they hear me nicely while I keep my phone tucked away in my pocket. Try looking up a youtube feature and see if anyone has used that feature specifically or commonly. Sorry I couldn't give you a direct answer.
