I can only compare my XS with my 7+. The larger phone is better if that’s what’s important to you.

Mt iPad Pro kicks butt on both as you might expect.

I had an X, and while an improvement from the iPhone 7 - it's no where near improvement of the new phones. The stereo separation is MUCH better on the XS, Max, & XR. I tried all 3.Bass is better, and midrange clearer.

Hardly much of a difference. I’ve only noticed that the top piece speaker is now balanced compared to the ones on iPhone X.
 
I had an X previously and I have an Xs Max now. There is definitely a noticeable difference in sound quality between the two and the Xs Max is definitely much better. With the X I never felt like listening to anything directly from it’s speakers and always used headphones. With the Xs Max I do sometimes listen using the built in speakers.
