I think most of the answers so far are focusing on the wrong thing.

Most pilots will have a relatively modern mic that can deliver good quality. But how many aircraft have upgraded their cabin speakers since they’ve been built?

The system has to be modernized end-to-end to achieve modern quality, but it’s always the tail end public address speakers that are left behind.
