So I just bought a macbook pro (mid 2012) for the first time and coming from an old £300 windows (meh) one, the audio sounds really weird. I don't know the technical terms but it when I played some music videos on youtube, they sounded like they had no bass and as if I was using GOD Awful headphones?

Any experienced users have any fixes?

Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place

Its not normal, it must sound way better than Windows. Get it checked.

My macbook speakers are amazing so defo get it checked

my macbook pro speakers are way better than any windows computer I've had

The speakers on my 13 inch macbook pro aren't that great, but from your description it sounds like you were using headphones.
The sound through headphones is really good.

+1

I tried headphones and yeah they sound great but when I take them out and play audio through the speakers, it turns to **** again - as if there is no treble; it sounds so hollow and ew

I will contact Apple for help so thanks

I am using OSX (and not windows; I was referring to when I had a Dell Laptop) and I updated it but still the problem persists

1. Is it brand new?
2. What model? Air? Pro? The "New MacBook?"

I bought it yesterday but the model is the mid 2012 Macbook pro

If it's refurbished/used, it's very possible that the speaker could be water damaged or just damaged by the previous owner. I would definitely get the speaker checked out.

Both my speakers and headphones are at least great.
