Hi Brent – I very rarely drive without music – the quality for me is good – tho my ears are not what they were – I haven’t changed any of the settings – I haven’t felt I needed too.
My musical tastes are varied from rock folk – jazz – Motown – old school heavy rock – deep purple and the like – but I also listen to trad folk and classical – so from single voice or lead to a musical blend from high to low.
The noise in the car when music is off – too be honest dosnt happen often, but I haven’t found it invasive – which for an EV is good – no engine to block out tyre and road noise – just make sure you set the bings and bongs to low.
