I'm not sure I'm putting this in the right place, but I wanted to share my experience. A while ago my dad had bought new speakers for his computer which were supposed to have really good sound quality. Maybe they can be good, but there was something about them that bothered me.
The best way I know how to describe it would be to imagine two audio tracks overlapping. Their priorities get flipped, meaning what's supposed to be the dominate sounds get repressed and the background sounds become dominate. I would record comparative audio tracks if I had a way to do that, but I doubt I am alone in this experience and would think a few people around here should know what I'm talking about.
I recently purchased a new laptop and started listening to the speakers and noticed the audio behaved the same way. I'm just wondering if there is a way to adjust the audio at all and hopefully fix the issue.

Since the interpretation of sound is so subjective, there's really no way to answer your question. That becomes especially difficult depending on what music is played, as some speakers do a better job with some, than they do others. To tell you the truth, laptop speaker aren't the best speakers out there. Can you mention the computer?

It's less likely the speakers and more the computer's audio hardware and drivers. Have you explored all the sound settings options including selecting different speaker types?

It's an Asus G51-RX05, but as I mentioned this wasn't just with the laptop. Laptop speakers are obviously of lower quality, but the sound issue was also present with my dad's speakers which were supposably high quality sound producing speakers, which my dad seemed to agree with from his experience. It's more about the way they produce sounds rather than the actual quality.

Well any speaker that is built into a laptop should be expect to be low quality. You can't fit high quality products into that kind of space with that low of power going to them.
List the model of these high quality speakers that your dad purchased so we know what were dealing with. -
I think you're dealing with a software setting problem... the audio output is modified by software filters or by the program used for playback. One of the settings enables 3D sound, pseudo-surround, normalize matrix, voice control, expand stereo, pre-equalized setting. Try to get a raw audio out without any changes, turn off all settings or save them and temporarily turn them off if you'd like to keep them.
