    2012 Prius C Four.

    Since day one the speakers sound tinny, high-pitched, and generally awful on the ears when using my Bluetooth iPhone (and my previous Droid) for phone calls.

    They sound just fine with the radio, bluetooth iPhone music, and everything else.

    What gives? Why would they screech and hurt the ears so badly just on phone calls??

    You just have to switch it out of phone mode and into music mode. Phone conversations are very compressed so all that's happening is that the music is running on the same compression as phone calls do.
