Nope, that's not where you hear the sound come out of. A speaker grill is supposed to cover the actual speaker, so the sound comes out nice and clear. Instead, the speaker is at the center-back of the device, and the sound is SUPPOSED to echo around the inside of the shell until it comes out of the holes in the front (by then, distorted and robbed of all bass). In reality, the device sounds louder coming out of the TOP of the device than the front grills, despite the top having zero grills to speak of, so I have no clue why they designed it like this. They should've just made a speaker grill in the back so the sound would at least sound clear, if not pointed towards the player.

Man, is there a SINGLE pocketable 16:9 device with front-firing speakers? How can they fit front-firing speakers on tiny 4:3 devices just fine, but when it comes to 16:9, you need to go all the way up to the fucking Odin/Steam Deck just to get proper sound?
