Perhaps you're being downvoted because saying "tiny laptop speakers worse than big, expensive, dedicated studio monitor speakers" doesn't add anything to the discussion? Any 14"+ Apple laptop since 2019 sounds much better than any other laptop that's ever been in the market. The 2019 15" and all 16" models even more so. They're so good that before covid we stopped using the Jabras at the office for confs and started using the laptops. They're good enough for lightweight music playing and even watching some TV. No, they don't compare to monitor speakers. No, they don't compare to my 7.1.4 surround system. No, they don't compare to any decent room-sized stereo or surround setup. They are still pretty great.

>They're good enough for lightweight music playing and even watching some TV. This is such a low bar. I have a 2019 16" MBP. The speakers are good for a laptop. That's it. I'm connecting the headphones or external speakers for any listening requirement. A $30 pair of Logitechs destroys the built-in speakers. >No, they don't compare to my 7.1.4 surround system. I'm having trouble reconciling the number of people in the thread who will do things like implement an entire Atmos home theatre setup (which is awesome, but in a lot of ways excessive), and yet are saying "MBP speakers are all you need!"

  I'm trying to understand which of these is true: - You can't interpret text; or - You just don't like anyone who has anything good to say about Apple or their products; or - You're just not very smart at all. > This is such a low bar. Low bar for what? > The speakers are good for a laptop. We're talking about laptops. That's the whole point! > I'm having trouble reconciling the number of people in the thread who will do things like (...) and yet are saying "MBP speakers are all you need!" Who's doing that?
