Is there any loss of microphone sensitivity with this case?

Not that I know of. There is a cut out for the microphone - so I have not received any complaints from callers - that have said - I can't hear you?Hope that helps?

Not than I'm aware of but for some reason I have complaints about MIC clarity on voice calls case on or off... Maybe it's the carrier.. Odd because recording quality is near Hi Def sound

Good question, There are holes in the case corresponding to the microphone holes. It doesn't seem to affect quality, judging from the voicemails I've heard of my voice left with this phone.

Using this case I have no trouble hearing the person I'm talking to nor do they have any trouble hearing me. The only difference is when the phone rings its a little quieter than when out of the case. And playing music with the phones speaker is softer than when out of the case. When I'm playing music I use a small Bluetooth speaker.

No. The speakers were made so the sound is clearer and microphone is more sensitive :)

No the case has a bottom, and in the bottom six tiny holes in the case by the microphone. It does not seem to effect the clarity of the call.

There is some slight wind noise through the mic but I installed the Vega speaker pads I found on Amazon from Orange Choppers in Florida and it helped tremendously. There is a noise cancellation setting in the Sena that you can also use and it helps.

I've never had any complaints from others about background noise when I've used my mic. But I don't know how much noise you may have to deal with.

I have not notice a decrease in audio. If anything it would be less than 10%

I haven't built a case (mine are in the head of a robot so are protected that way. I haven't seen any noise on these. Other cheaper models with a similar form factor have had noise but not these.

Rule #1 "There is NO such thing as TOO MUCH BASS." That device is EXTREMELY sensitive. You probably will be happy with it with the sensitivity control all the way down. If still too sensitive you can take the cover off and put a tiny piece of duct tape over the microphone. Good Luck. FEEL THE BASS!!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Yes, I just noticed it when I read your question. I think a quick and easy solution is to mark the small dot with a marker pen and take the case off and drill a small hole to fix the problem if it effects the sound. Have not used the mic for anything but a test on skype and did not seem to effect the test.

the only slight concern would be that the microphone is a condenser microphone and therefore is slightly more sensitive and may pick up some background noise.

No. I don't think the call quality is affected by this case. Did not notice any differnce in call reception, ability to hear nor in outgoing voice quality. We've had the LIFEPROOF cases and It was hard to hear my kids' speaking.

I already did.. i think the s5 phones have quite some problems with their mic.ive been using the case for almost 2 months now. Best case so far

Not really. The mic extends about 10mm past the protected area, so it makes contact with the top flap. I could see the potential for damage when pushing down on the case to put it on a belt. I put mine in a bag, so I'm careful not to put anything on top of it

Not my case but don't worry about it. The mic sensitive enough to capture your voice even if facing the othe way

No - the case, the rubber impact protector and the holster, all three have molded openings for both mic and audio - and they perform great!

I haven't noticed an issue. I haven't used it with a mic that much, but the couple of times I have for basic voice overs, I had plenty of gain. It's USB powered, so there probably is something to the complaint of weaker gain in comparison with a standard interface or mixer, but again... I had plenty.
