The new audio profile shifts the speakerphone frequencies lower so everyone sounds like James Earl Jones.

"Hi Mom, you're on speakerphone ... hey, would you mind saying, the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force"?

Not good enough. If I can't listen to my Barry White on the speakerphone (to get my foxy lady in the mood) then this update is a complete failure.
 
Hmmm for me listening music via speaker is somehow better, maybe not louder but quality is better while listening at full volume
 
I installed it and it sounds much more fuller like the iPhone 4S (which I think sounded better than the iPhone 5 speaker before) while playing music.
 
Wow!!! Looks like it was first in the pipeline!!! And why were they working on this when they should have been on the IOS 7 team? Rogue software engineering group?
 
According to some people, the new profile makes the speaker sound 'very, very flat'.
 
Got excited for a moment and thought this would fix the dreadful sound quality of music on the 5 compared to the 4/4S...but alas no...
I'm no audiophile, but what happened to the sound quality? Is it a cheap DAC or something?
