iPad iPad Air 2 - Terrible Sound?

Tablets have never been great speaker wise. The major complaint is the sound vibrates the iPad badly. Too much bass for such a paper thin chassis.
Yeh, despite the vibration factor it has great sound! Better than my iPad 2nd gen.
Even better than my 2012 MBA.
It was one of the things that stopped me from buying it. None of Apples tablets have good sound, but this one is particularly tinny.
I bought an Acer a couple of years ago and the sound was really good, so I can't understand why Apple can't stick a couple decent speakers in their tablets, they've only just climbed up from mono.
I suppose Apple has to think of their margin, they're on the verge of going bankrupt.
LOL.. that few years acer was definitely as thin as ipad air 2, am I right?
or maybe not... and you have your answer
The speakers on the hdx 7 and hdx 8.9 are astounding. I like ipads, but it's amazing you pay a premium to have a crappy media experience. They've had many generations to give good speakers.
Actually the Kindle Fire HD has really solid audio even from the speakers especially with Dolby. It sounds way better than any of my iPad's.
blah... Note 10.1 has two front speakers and they were great already two years ago...
Google Nexus 9 will by out next week in US. Bet is sounds good and does not vibrate.
HDX 8.9" sounds very good and is lighter than Air.

Thickness does have a little to do with it, but many manufacturers are able to bring out phones with decent sound like my HTC M8 so why can't Apple do the same with a tablet. They're either incapable or too tight with their money.LOL.. that few years acer was definitely as thin as ipad air 2, am I right?
