    They definitely didn't crank it up because his voice is so frail he's barely audible. Nope, it's a conspiracy to make him look bad.

    Biden's mic was EQed to pick up as much low end and high end ambient noise as possible.

    No. The mic is EQed that way so you can actually hear the low and high parts of his voice. The human ear is most sensitive to the mid range as it amplifies those frequencies, and the majority of our voice also lies in the midrange. You can see this if you look at the frequency response curve of headphones, the midrange is always boosted to replicate what our ear does, it's called pinna gain. The Harman target is a good example of this. If Biden's mic was EQed flat, you wouldn't be able to hear the low or high parts of his voice. If Biden sounds like an old man, it's because he is one.

      But have you considered I'm an audiophile, and it's my entire identity, which I have now found a noble application for outside of being an annoying prick to friends and family?

        For workout earbuds I'd just get the cheapest wireless/Bluetooth pair with some water/sweat resistance. Sound quality doesn't really matter when working out, and wireless makes sense for this.

            I used aftershokz conduction for workouts for a while, but they were never loud enough for me, so I switched to an in-ear and am happier except one ear piece is always getting loose in my ear while working out

    Everyone is talking about the audio but it looks like they messed with Biden's character creation menu.

    Slid down the Biden slider

    Slid up the Trump slider

    And slid up the Pence slider.

    Biden's mics sound like that A LOT, and I'm pretty sure it's because his speaking voice is too soft for the microphone to pick up with normal settings.

    This seems plausible but it'd probably be there to help Biden when he trails off into quiet mumbles
