Yep I also tested with Ipad and the powerbeats and the same issue presented itself. Support has already responded to me and told me that EN is aware of the issue and are working on a permanent fix!  The work around with Files app is a good interim solution.

FYI I have issued a support ticket for this problem present on IOS.

Thank you @PinkElephant for your response. I will issue a support ticket.  As a function, the notes have the ability to host MP3 and they playback totally fine without bluetooth (over the iphone speaker or over any hardware speaker) this issue is specifically over bluetooth.  My sense is this difference between music and speech is actually obscuring the problem. I'd bet if one were to listen to speech over blue ooth it would be just as garbled and difficult to listen to. I understand the recorder function is meant for compressed speech audio but as a musician who has found this to be a great tool for music organization there is no reason in my mind that audio playback over bluetooth should be this degraded.

YES This! I am having a great time migrating music related organization to evernote but the quality of mp3 streamed through the app on blue tooth (I am using power beats pro) is awful! Totally distorted and degraded! Seems like evernote needs to check it out! Support!!
