It's so good it looks weird. It removed all the room acoustics, such that you would expect to see a mic very close to your face.

I feel the exact same way. It sounds like the mic is close to his mouth, but when watching the video it's clearly not there. It's super trippy.

I agree. I was also taken aback for the first few seconds. After those first few seconds, I think I was able to adjust to the sound.

This would be wilder if I were in an unconstrained environment with similar enhanced audio quality. It would seem like a voice-over.
