The top speakers among tablets

Picking the best tablet for listening to music wasn't very hard as the market is saturated mostly by budget offerings, so the flagship models easily stand out in sound quality. It was no surprise that the iPad Pro 11 (2024) had the best speakers with unrivaled clarity and bass among the tablets we've reviewed.

The Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4 takes second place with very good speakers. At the third spot of the best-sound tablets of the year is the Honor MagicPad 2 12.3. It's perhaps no surprise that both of these tablets are high-end offerings from their respective manufacturers.

We strongly recommend using a nice pair of headphones and turning the volume up when listening to the recordings.
