Conclusion

Now you know the location of the microphone on the MacBook Pro. But you should understand that no matter how good the built-in microphone is, it doesn’t compare with a separate microphone or a good headset. Usually, built-in microphones are good enough for everyday online calls. However, if your job requires negotiating with customers, colleagues or bosses, or if you voice your videos, I recommend buying a good headset so that the sound quality is top quality.
