Hi all,

I want to know if the audio quality in videos when recording concerts with OnePlus 5 is good. I have OnePlus One and audio quality in concerts videos recorded with the camera is awful: distorted sound which mess the video.

Thanks!

You do realize this is a phone? There is no phone that can record at high volumes. Mics just can't handle that, they're supposed to record human voice at normal volumes.

It will sound good enough if the volume is low enough though. So, no concerts.

Ou yes there is. Lumia models. Like Lumia 1020. Those had HAAC mics that could record very high desibels.

Even OLD Nokia 808 pureview had this.


There are videos on youtube.

This I did not know. Peculiar.

But to be honest, they still sound a bit bad even if the audio isn't clipping. Better than nothing I guess.

iPhone can record concerts properly... at least iPhone 6s (my girlfriend has iPhone 6s and we tried it in concerts).

This video was recorded with an iPhone last month https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zPmLWTNgt7A
First row in the concert so the highest volume. What do you think about sound quality? Compare it with Oneplus One sound quality: it really sucks in Oneplus One. And I wanted to know if Oneplus 5 sound quality is good or not.

I was drumming all day yesterday, OP5 up close to the set while belting out some hard hitting fills. No distortion whatsoever, you could even hear the other instruments in the background clearly.

Thanks for your message. Did you upload the video in order to check the audio quality?

@partisano here's a video i've recorded recently (4k eis).
The sound quality is not that great, but i've seen phones with worse audio..

Another one @ 1080p60

The last one @ 4k eis
It seems the sound quality actually is bad.. (but still not the worse I've heard)

Thanks for the videos. I don't like sound quality and price for this smartphone... I think I will buy iPhone 7 Plus finally.

No problem. I am also disappointed by the sound quality, i've expected more.. but this is not a decision factor for me.
All in one, i like the device (i am coming from a galaxy s7)
