I like Daniel and Tessa as well. I have some high-frequency hearing loss, and Karen is pleasant, but too soft for me to hear accurately what she says. I’d really prefer more baritone voices, or even a voice similar to siri’s male one. Having said that, I do mostly use Samantha on IOS and Alex in Mavericks. I wish there was some way to make him available on IoS.
