Unparalleled support for CarPlay and Apple Watch means I can take my audiobooks anywhere, anytime. Tone adjustment is such a unique feature. It's like customizing the narrator's voice. Good for background listening. I didn’t get fully immersed, but it was pleasant enough to have on while doing chores. The narrator’s voice was easy to listen to, even if the delivery lacked some energy. This was a competent audiobook production with no major flaws. The narrator's voice was pleasant enough and the audio quality was acceptable, though not exceptional.
