    Has the sound quality of the 2018 MBP's speakers dropped after the second supplemental update?

    I was told by an ECE expert that the way Apple fixed the speakers crackling in 2018 MBP was just cutting the high frequency part in audio signal, which harmed the sound quality of speakers. And yes, I noticed the music sounded different after the supplemental update 2...... Does anybody feel the...

    Anker Soundcore Flare - Review

    I have been pretty impressed with this speaker. I most recently have been using the JBL Charge 3 which along with the UE Boom 2 are two of the most popular Bluetooth speakers. This Anker Soundcore is very close in performance to the Charge 3. I actually prefer the Anker because the sound is a...

    Should I Swap?

    A friend working at Apple customer care is offering to replace my 2017 base model mbp with a new one free of charge, under the battery replacement program (w/ the excuse that they are out of batteries, while mine doesn't have any battery issues). Although I do not have any problems at the moment...

    Replacing MBP late 2016 15" speaker

    Opening up my late MBP I messed up the membrane of my left speaker, an authorized Apple repair center quoted me 650 euros to replace the entire top case (the speakers are glued to the body of the MBP). I managed to find a set of speakers for 70 euros harvested from a dead machine, so it is...

    HomePod Can confirm US Homepod works in Canada!

    Picked up the homepod in Buffalo today... I live near Toronto. Setup was easy, works with my Canadian apple ID. It sounds great at lower volumes but the bass doesn't keep up with the highs at higher volumes. Kind of a bummer. Really nice deep bass at under 3/4 volume though. [Total rant] I...

    iPhone X New iPhone X earpiece stops working

    ~ 1 mo old iPX. I noticed that the earpiece speaker stops working. Happens w/ calls, music, everything. A reboot fixes the issue, but only temporarily. I'm on the latest 11.2.5. Is this common? Is this a software issue? Or a hardware one? Should I contact sprint for a replacement? Apple?

    Recommendation for HomeKit compatible sound bar

    I am on the hunt for an all-in-one Bluetooth and HomeKit compatible speaker or soundbar. As it looks right now, the Homepod will not have aux or audio input (though if they added just an aux in line I would be estatic), so I am not convinced that I will be able to play my TV sound over it, but I...

    Broken speaker MacBook Pro

    Last night I opened my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) and suddenly my right speaker made a loud crisping, cracking and annoying sound. After a few seconds it ended up in silence. I did a reboot but the right speaker of the computer doesn't work anymore. Some very low tunes are working, but that's...

    Distortion in Right Side Speaker

    Did anyone encounter distortion in the right speaker. It is noticeable mostly when listening to speech on youtube, not so much with music, and it doesn't have to be loud. I'm guessing it's on a specific range of frequencies. Should I take it to the apple service provider? I've only had the...

    Thinking of getting a iPhone 6 for one of my family members who is very hard of hearing. Is the call quality on the 6 good enough both via earpiece and speakerphone ? How loud is the ringer ? Thank you for your time.
