looking for external speaker to amplify my Macbook pro 13" mid 2012
Yes. Apple hardware and macOS support USB audio out of the box. Plug in amplified or non-amplified devices that fit your room and sound preference and enjoy. USB is digital out so may be better than analog audio out connectors or Bluetooth or AirPlay sounds.
Search for USB Computer Speakers online. If you are totally lost, start with a brand like Logitech and buy from them direct if you’re worried about return policies, counterfeit goods or incompatibility.
