Please recommend external speakers suitable for Mac users to listen to music.

Hello? I am a user of the MacBook Pro 14-inch M1 Pro model.


I am blind and visually impaired. I bought it in January 2022.


I heard a lot that the sound quality was good and rich, so I bought it and have been using it until now.


However, for the first year after purchasing it, the sound quality was so good and rich that I liked it. As a classical music major, sound is very important to me! However, after a year, the richness of the MacBook Pro's built-in speakers dropped significantly and became weak.


In other words, no matter what music I listen to, I am talking about the rich sound of the MacBook itself!


So I visited several Apple stores to get after-sales service, but they all said that there was no problem. So I tried to endure it and listen to it, but it just didn't work, so I think I will have to buy an external speaker! Can you recommend a speaker that is suitable for MacBook Pro users? I tried listening to music with an audio interface for MIDI work (Steinberg UR22MKII), but the speakers are so big that I listen to music alone in my room at home, and the whole room resonates so much that it's annoying!


It's very uncomfortable for me, sitting in front of the computer and listening to music.


The audio interface I mentioned earlier is suitable for actual composing/mixing, but isn't it somehow unsuitable for simple music listening? From the perspective of me sitting in front of my MacBook in my room at home listening to music!


I think the rich sound you hear in a concert hall of that size with a 14-inch MacBook Pro 2021 is an appropriate ratio.


However, in this situation where the sound from the bottom of the MacBook is so poor, shouldn't I consider external speakers or an amplifier just for listening to music?


As a classical music major, I've been listening to music with the MacBook Pro's built-in speakers, and since the richness has become very weak, it's been very uncomfortable and even irritating to my ears in various ways.

So I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice. Does Apple make high-quality external speakers that are compatible with Macs?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.3
