How it's used
Focus on the clarity and richness of audio output when using this term. While it is a standard noun, it is frequently paired with adjectives like 靚 or 差 to describe the performance of electronic devices. It specifically refers to the technical or aesthetic quality of the sound produced, rather than the volume level.
Examples

Common mistake
Avoid using it to describe the volume of sound, as that would be 音量. It is strictly for the quality or fidelity of the audio.
