As far as the audio quality is concerned, it didn't disappoint us either. Just like the polished FM tuner quality, the Rock, Metallica, Hard Rock, Hip Hop and Classical genres were all impressive to hear with all notes, pitch and strings being precise with little to no exaggeration. The audio was static free, even with the FM tuner, majority of the time. The only time we did experience static was if the track was encoded at low bit-rates and we tried to listen to it at full volume.
