I liked everything about the 6P except people were telling me my calls sounded muffled or like I was in a barrel. Dumped it and got an HTC 10. Couldn't be happier.

Hmm, you just ”dumped” the 6p and went for the 10 without examining the problem at all? Wow! It's completely possible it was a defective unit. I like the 10 too, but just not convinced it gives a better overall experience than the 6p. I am running the developers preview of N on my 6p, so I suppose that may explain things a little. But knowing that the HTC may not get N until the end of the year, doesn't help its case much. Lol, I suppose a Nexus device will always have the advantage over OEMs just because it will always have the latest software, security patches, and bug fixes in tow. It's really kind of hard to beat that. And now that Google has decided to bring competitive hardware designs to their Nexus devices, it really puts the other OEMs at a disadvantage IMHO.

I agree with you when listening on headphones that are wired. I purchased the Sennheiser momentum 2.0 wireless headphones which are highly regarded and I can honestly say that I can't hear a difference while listening wirelessly to FLAC audio through either phone, HTC or Nexus. But when i plug in the wire to the HTC, it'll make your head explode! I just wish that the Bluetooth streaming wouldn't keep dropping while listening on the HTC. That's how I choose to listen most of the time as I really don't like wires. And, thankfully, the momentums are nearly as good wireless as wired. With the wires, you can get a quite a bit more volume. But regardless, I'm not able to max out volume whether wired or not. In any event, the 10 loses out because it can't stream any more than about 4 songs before my connection fails, while I can listen on the 6p all day long with not a single hiccup. The connections, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, kinda bum me out with the HTC 10.

I also have the Momentum 2.0 wireless haha! Awesome headphones. I haven't had any problems at all with Bluetooth cutting in and out though. What revision of the headphones do you have? I ask because there was an issue with the earlier Momentum 2.0 Rev 1 headphones with Bluetooth and with the ear cups peeling. Apparently issues are fixed in Rev 2. Your issue may be the headphones and not the phone if you have the earlier version of the M2 wireless. Good that the 6p seems to be playing nicely with the M2.

I have the momentum wireless 2.0s. why would they work well with one phone but not the other if it's about the headphones and not the phone? Also, I have the same issue when I connect my HTC 10 via Bluetooth to my portable speaker system. BTW, which momentums did you choose? I have the ”on ear”version and I just love them. I tried the ”over the ear” as well, but I just preferred the forward soundstage of the on ears better.

No idea, all I know is there was an issue with Bluetooth with the older M2 wireless. Fingers crossed that I won't also start having Bluetooth issues now. I have the "over the ear" version.

You'd already know it if it was an issue. I think you're good to go!

Marlin with a 5.5 inch screen will be a bigger phone than the HTC 10. I like the 5.2 footprint.
 
I'd get the M10 if you need it NOW, otherwise, you might want to wait for the HTC Nexus. I am on AT&T so its not an issue for me, I love my M10.

So I'm torn and looking for your opinions. I am curious if, as of right now, you would get the HTC 10 or wait for the next Nexus phone. I currently have Verizon and am impressed by what I've seen of the HTC 10. I'm just a little turned off they didn't make the unlocked version for VZW. I am trying to hold out for the Nexus (Marlin in my case) but it is getting harder and harder for me, just because I'm impatient. I also don't want to buy 2 phones in the next few months. What are you guys thoughts? Esp those of you with the HTC 10.

In my opinion the HTC 10 is a great phone but may be a little bit overpricen (especially in my region). The information that we know about the new Google phones are rumors so it is early to decide between them. But we can expect a high end Snapdragon SoC, non expandable storage, etc. The HTC 10 has may be the best camera between the phones of the company so that can be a pro. I think people sould wait until the release of the phone and decide which features are important to them and deal.
 
Marlin (and Sailfish) will be AMOLED won't it? Good chance the screen will be better than the 10.
 
I know what you're saying. The upgrade itch is hard to resist! I would wait a little longer and see what the Nexus line of phones will be like before making a decision. Won't be much longer now! :)

I, too, am very interested in the Nexus line. Am thinking of switching back to Nexus from my LG.
 
I agree with jlp0209. The carriers aren't shooting themselves in the foot because people will for the most part walk into Verizon (using them as they are mentioned the most in this thread...applies to any other carrier) pick up the Galaxy or iPhone, sign on the line and walk out. It won't be until most people start going with a carrier that will take any phone with no compromises that they will then pay attention.
