So what aspect of sound are you referring to, playback sound? If so then the LS-P4 has a smaller internal speaker than the LS-14 and the LS-P4 on playback through the internal speaker sounds compressed so again, wise to use headphones or another speaker of some sort. The whole point of internal speakers to me is totally irrelevant as I’ve never believed portable recorders should have them anyway - and most of the better quality recorders don’t -, I’d rather a top quality speaker or no speaker at all.
