Microphone sounds really bad?

Stemme0038 (Recorded using the sound recorder app)

You might not believe it, but that sound came from the HTC 10's microphone. At the start I was holding my phone at about "vlogging range" and as I am getting nearer it becomes slightly clearer.

Is my device defective? I really don't want to send it back. :'(

Do you have an unlocked HTC 10?

 

[amir55]

Yes, unlocked version 1.30 (EU)

And here's a test with my studio microphone (for comparison): stemme0039

Didn't download the file but are you holding the phone in a way that blocks the mic?

 

[amir55]

Nope, I was avoiding that.
