The Spoken Word setting simple pulls down the 32hz bass tone and slightly boosts the mid-high tones (500-2k). I found it closely reflected what I would have expected and have no issue with it. I downloaded and installed eqMac and set it to Spoken Word. On YouTube, the voice overs are perhaps a little too spacial - sounds like a bit of a gap in the middle field and the bass is a little heavy. This is particularly noticeable with the human voice but much less so with music.Ī piece of music can sound fine even though you might not be hearing all of the sounds being produced – you just won’t know which sounds you are missing – but not hearing the high frequencies of a speaking or singing voice can make it immediately difficult to understand and therefore “muddied,” “muffled” or otherwise unclear. The reason is that since over the years I am progressively hearing fewer high frequencies, the ones I still do hear are drowned out by the low frequencies, which sound more pronounced to me. I have the same problem with my MBP 16-in 2019, whose speakers sound much boomier than previous models. The fact that an equalizer made the speakers sound acceptable to you makes me think you may not be taking into account the possible effect of high-frequency hearing loss, which of course varies among individuals from non-existent to profound. I think I saw a review that said the 14’s speakers aren’t quite as nice as the 16’s (due to the machine size), but it shouldn’t make that much of a difference and should be worlds better than your ancient MBP.ĭon’t others find the new speakers muffling and annoying? Am I the only one? It could be yours is defective, except you did say using an equalizer fixed it, so maybe it’s just the way they sound to you. I don’t heard the muddling you talk about. ![]() So because of my use case I may not be the best judge of audio quality, but the new speakers sound fine to me – voices aren’t super loud, but they are clear. I generally listen to audiobooks when I use my AirPods or when I’ve driving. Though if I did, I’d probably use a HomePod or my AirPods. (I won’t travel with the 16" Mac – I have a lighter MB Air for traveling.) I find the iPad form factor better suited for movies, though a laptop could work fine if I didn’t have the iPad. I have a big TV for movies, though when I travel I’ll use my 12.9" iPad. The last movie I made I filmed with a Connectix QuickTake. (I’d love to do some video stuff, but I’m decades behind on that. Writing and software development, some graphic design. What do you use it for then? Just curious. ![]()
