VLC can play YouTube videos and the slow-speed audio quality is much better than YouTube's

Just install VLC, under "Media" (basically the file menu) select "Open Network Stream" and just paste in the whole YouTube URL. Speed control is under Playback / Speed. The audio at 0.5x is much clearer than the native YouTube player. It's not choppy and there's no echo.

Unfortunately captions are not as easy. You need a tool to rip YouTube captions to SRT files (maybe someone can suggest one?) and you have to apply them manually via Subtitle/Add Subtitle File for each video. You will also have to go to settings and change the subtitle font (under Tools/Preferences/Subtitles) to something that has CJK glyphs (and restart VLC).
