I find that most readers are pretty good, a mispronounced word now and then but good understanding of the material. Some are horrible. Sometimes I don't like them because I do not like the way they make a character sound. That is my problem but sometimes there are just bad readers. I love Stephen King, he has great readers and having actually read his books I thought the readers brought a great deal to them. There are some excellent women readers. I started once to write their names down but have forgotten to do that and cannot remember where I put it down, likely an old phone that was cleaned. I find it an excellent way to actually do what I love most and still get all my work done. As a busy mother I was always able to find some time to read but now retired but running my own farm with horses and goats and a crop I have no time at all to read consistently. Audio books have saved me by allowing me to continue to read while allowing me to continue to work as much as I need to. 
Do try it. Do you read Patricia Cornwall? I used to. She has a wonderful reader, very precise just like you would think the character would be. Anyway......no more RW dystopia.
Your local library should be able to fulfill every single desire in audio books. Just check them out online in the app and you are good to go. It is excellent.
