In my case the sound quality is not so good, but to be fair I mostly bought the system for other programing anyway like sport talk radio, I drive alot for my work. The bigger issue that I have is that where I drive in N.W. PA has lots of hills/mountains and tons of trees which interfers with the signal so I am always losing sound which just gets on my nerves.
