Aftermarket speakers for Macbook?

[99MustangGTman]

The speakers are just plain crap on my Macbook aluminum. Is there any alternative aftermarket speakers anyone knows of?

Btw: I mean internal speakers, not external.

i don't know the answer to your question but why not external? and then if you're on the go, some IEMs or other headphones? might be cheaper and higher quality

When I need to travel I want to travel light and not have to worry about remembering to take my speakers with me.

Grab a nice set of earbud headphones then. There are plenty of good choices out there, just make sure you find a set that seals nicely in your ear canal. Laptop speakers in general, especially in <15" models sound pretty bad, it's just a space constrain issue.

So the speakers are crap in all the 15" new MBPs? Because people were saying how good they were

I have a feeling that this is going to void your warranty. What is it that you are trying to do with your speakers? (Loud vs. Quality)

Mods, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to report this.

Given that they're laptop speakers they're pretty good...but in the grand scheme of speaker quality, they're still laptop speakers

IMO, the 13" uMB(P) has some pretty good speakers given the computer's size, but like I said, still laptop speakers...

The speakers in your computer are custom-shaped, and ridiculously small.

I don't think you'll find replacement non-Apple speakers for your machine, and in all truth, they do a pretty good job given their size. They're about 2x to 3x times the size of earbuds.

If better quality sound is important to you, test-drive the 15" MacBook Pros, or look in to ultra-portable USB speakers.
