I have found that listening to audiobooks at 1.35X speed is the "best value" speed. It shortens the amount of time wasted on silence and is still comprehensible. Going any faster than that leads to some incomprehension and strange audio distortions.
I find that reading rather than listening to an audiobook is the superior form of consumption for knowledge retention however.
I assume this will be different for each individual.
