Bad audio quality Quest 3

I just got my new quest 3 and one thing I noticed about it the second I loaded up Blade and Sorcery through virtual desktop is how compressed the audio is. I also tried using Airlink and it was the same compressed audio there. I have a good wifi connection and things sounded way better on my Quest 2. I don't know why this is a problem because I have only heard good things about the audio, altough I don't think it is so great. It sounds raspy and very compressed compared to the quest 2 and I am starting to question if it even was worth buying it in the first place. I wanna see if there are other people with a similar issue and if it can be fixed. I ordered a Kiwi headstrap which maybe can help me look pass the bad Audio with better comfort but I don't really know. Any help?

 The audio is a little tinny, partly as a result of how far from your ears the actual speaker is, but I wouldn't say it sounds compressed. A pair of decent headphones plugged into the headphone socket sound fine.

We want you to have the best experience as possible. @user_901925786032222 made a great suggestion, have you used the device with headphones? Does it happen with all the applications, or is it limited to a specific program? Does it change wherever you move? Does it happen while you are inside or outside Oculus Home?
