I already did a quick test with gpt-realtime-2 using my Cheeky-Razor persona.
The audio output felt more natural than with previous models: clearer, better paced and easier to follow.
I tested it in English and as a non-native English speaker, I found it easy to understand without having to concentrate too hard, which is actually a very useful improvement
