As an example, the following are Mean Opinion Scores for implementation of different codecs:
G.729 8 3.92
A typical fixed-line network which most people have in their homes has an
average MOS of 4.3 and GSM networks average a MOS of between 2.9 and
4.1. If voice quality were to drop by 1 MOS during a call, the average user
would clearly hear the difference. A drop of half a MOS is audible whereas a
quarter of a MOS is just noticeable.
The following table gives examples of comparative MOS scores for G.729 under different conditions:
