![]() However it comes at the expense of clarity and quality. I'm not sure if it was intentional but it is quite typical of some commercial audio processing practice to create the impression of bigger better sound. Overall audio should be flat and human voices easy, comfortable and pleasing to hear. Sure they've made improvements, have more bass and have some nice stereo separation for a small notebook but I find that there are some really odd imbalances in the frequencies. With this model, I find voice harder to hear, less separated from the background and an overall boomy sound that doesn't feel balanced. I also find it amazing that these speakers are raved about in the reviews so positively. It's mostly noticeable when you look at the lip sync of the audio during speech and with things like hand claps. I'm sure the majority haven't even noticed or been bothered by this because it's so subtle, but it's definitely out of sync to me by a few small milliseconds. I don't know if Apple is aware of this or will even fix it but I sure hope so. The mac is a fresh install, I've played back the source on different Macs and it only happens on this model. From what I've read it could be due to the T2 chip which handles the audio. I'm an audio engineer by profession and these things stand out to me what may otherwise be unnoticeable to some others. It's subtle but I've been noticing on video playback that the audio is ever so slightly out of sync which makes things feel unnatural to me when watching movies, youtube or tv series. Overall pretty happy with the 2018 MBP 13" touch bar except for the audio.
