Personally, I don't like them, because of the asymmetry of effort in sending vs receiving, and that you can't tell how serious it is before listening to it.

Often used by the sender just to send something quick but they are horrible. Now have to find my headset so I can listen to them in private (it's hard to press play while having it at your ear or you'll miss the start). Frequently hard to hear what they say. Some just ramble on for ages before getting to the point. I just send back "DNL text me."
