@ghbuur - Thank You! For getting me pointed in the right direction. Reflashed the latest nightly and radio/fw and went to go try out 3g only to see. And realized enhanced LTE is on by default, which does not play well with TMO here. I don't think 12 is fully implemented here yet, or volte isn't, or both. But turning it off seems to have fixed the audio issue! Ftr it was people couldn't hear me, I could hear them fine, on strong LTE signal, but a carrier/region without fully implemented band 12 or volte, or both I guess. In case anyone else runs into it. And again ftr, I think this ROM is great, I don't like my op2 so much, and I didn't mean to tick anyone off. Enhanced LTE being active by default, IMO, is not a problem. Just something to note in pocket cases like this.

I really didn't mean to whine or be a pain, I thought the disappointment with the op2 over the opo was pretty universal. And I didn't mean to imply ROM problems, on the contrary, I was trying to biatch about the phone not the ROM or support of it, so I apologize for being a tool.
Re: the op2
I find the build quality poor. I dislike the back material, it's just dirty now. Handfeel is cheap compared to the opo in my opi.
I personally do not like the fingerprint scanner at all. I find zero use for it, it's ugly, and looks/feels like a 2 year old home button design. I realize people like the security of a fingerprint lock, I think it's a hoakey gimmicky thing that wrecks the design of the device. Obviously that is a hugely subjective thing, and I could have judged it from the picture of the phone before buying it. It's a 'living with it' thing. After living with it, what I thought might be a feature/design I would grow to love just didn't work for me. Notification slider, sort of the same. Looked good on paper, and in design actually, but is in practice completely useless to me. It's a waste of space on the chassis in my opinion. I never touch it, have no reason to as it has such extremely limited application. Would trade it for NFC in a heartbeat. I didn't think NFC mattered, now I wish I had it. Yes buyer beware, but it's another misstep, in my opinion only. I find the screen to be OK. Not bad, but of the phones I have here to look at the S6 edge looks better, the Moto G looks better, the G4 looks better. It's also pretty subjective.
I'm not impressed with the camera at all. Again, not horrible, just middle of the road - and the flash let's be honest kind of sucks.
I expected a noticeable step up in performance from the G3, OPO, or S5 and just haven't seen it. Again, it's just OK. Maybe that was unrealistic expectations but that's been my experience.
Take all of that and view it through having to run oxygen on this out of the box and it compounds the issues.
I was blown away by the One, and disappointed by the Two. I really don't think I'm 100% alone on that.
