I love that I can enjoy audiobooks while cooking elaborate meals in the kitchen. Tone adjustment is so cool. It's like customizing the reader's voice to my liking. Binaural audio reduces listening fatigue. Such a great feature! Great for listening to a variety of content. Highly recommend! Middle-of-the-road experience. The audiobook was fine—good narration, decent story—but it didn’t leave a lasting impression. If you’re looking for something low-commitment, this works.
