The sound is not as good as without a case. If you are in an area with noise around it is hard to hear somebody sometimes. I guess you could say yes it sounds like they are in a tunnel. They also say that I sound a little muffled. I think all the waterproof cases are like that I know people that have the lifeproof and it sounds the same way. Overall I am happy I went with the case I have dropped the phone twice on concrete and has not stopped working yet have not had it total wet yet except for in the testing when I first got it and it worked good then

The sound quality is definitely affected. The loudspeaker to listen music to is OK but the call sound volume is noticeably quieter. It's not too bad though if your hearing is good. Also check out the Incipio Atlas. Which I found out about after I bought this case. Good luck choosing!

Good sound quality but you have to turn off the noise cancel feature for the microphone to reduce the echo sometimes caused by the case.

Incoming and outgoing, the sound quality (fidelity) with this case is quite good. Volume is diminished slightly. Uncheck the Noise Reduction box under Call Settings on your S4 to eliminate any echo on the outgoing side.

To me, the call speaker sounds good with minimal tunnel effect. The membrane that protects the rear speaker can be "buzzy" when the phone output in high. Other than that minor detail, I am very happy with the case and clip setup. The case doesn't have a hard screen protector, so I make sure to carry the phone face-in on the clip.

On my end I can hear fine but there is a little interference with my voice going out sometimes, but not a big deal

The sound quality is good, obviously not quite as good as without the case. Make sure the Noise reduction box is unchecked under Call settings on your phone, that seems to eliminate most echoes that folks on the other end of the line complain about. I'm really happy with this case.

No, being a solid body there is very little sound. I use a $20 Honeytone amp as a monitor. The headphones & onboard amp sounds ok, seems to overdrive while playing double stops.

Actually I don't hear an echo on my end but the caller does. It sounds as if I'm in a hall way or box.

I have mine for a month or two and I love it. But it is true that the case seems weak so I am very careful . I even left the protrectrice film-coat on top. I have good headphones 120 db and I adore the sound. Goodbye.

You can't here any outside noise with these, if thats what your asking. It comes with a small case.

I don't know about using a echo effect, I use MP3 player and a mic at the same time, The both sound are clear and enjoyable for singing.

Yes, everyone I talk to hears the echo except me. It renders the phone useless.Sometimes the caller assumes the connection is bad and wants to call back, sometimes they hang up before I have a chance to tell them it's the earpiece. I'm using a verizon LG flipphone. There are other problms like the multifucntion button barely clicks so you never know if you've pressed it or not. Also there is slight digitation in the callers voice. Volume is fine if your indoors and quiet, but outside is harder to hear. Not a snug fit on your ear.

The sound is only slightly muffled but far from significant. The speakers for the LG G Pad are just 'ok' anyway so you are not missing much when the case is folded over partially blocking the speakers. The best solution for sound is to either buy some good earphones or an external speaker. All in all, the case is great.

I Haven't experienced any real difference in sound quality with the case on.

I find the audio more than satisfactory. In fact, compared to the other devices I have owned, the volume is better and the tone sounds very decent. That's my opinion, I hope it helps.

Yes the sound is very low. It may be defective as another respondant writes. I only use it with earphones so the low volume is not a problem. But there are enough design problems not to reccomend it

I notice very little noise, if any when walking around. Microphonics is an issue though, under abnormal circumstances. Running or fumbling around for something in your pockets for instance. Personally, I've never been annoyed by or have noticed this particular issue under normal circumstances.

Yes.. the mic is not great though.. people you are talking to will hear an echo..

Sometimes the sound seems muffled, but not all the time. I think it has more to do with reception than the case.

I myself so far do not have an echo effect, but if the speakers didnt sound right to me, I would just move them just a little one way or another until they sounded right. Hope this helps.

The sound is fine. People can hear me fine and I can hear them. At first I had problems.. I simply took. My phone out and reinstalled it in the case and it was fine. As for playing music, the sound is a but muffled. You can still hear it but if you want a louder, more clear sound you have to open the charging plug and headphone plug and then sound is loud as usual. Hope this helps.

It does cover the speaker but with a "tunnel-like" design so it carries out the sound. I actually think it sounds way better.
