Well, I have my work iPhone 8 plus, and the new iPhone SE side by side. I played the same song on each and went back and forth. Actually with three songs. Away in the Manger and joy to the world by Judy Collins and If I Only Had A Brain by Natalie Merchant. The difference, if there really is one, is minor. To my ears, the SE may have a little more open sound, but that might be just that it has a smaller body. The 8 plus is about 3/4 of an inch longer and about a half inch wider. Sound is so subjective, that it is difficult to describe. I had my wife listen and her description was that the SE sounds wider while the 8 plus is a little closed or compressed. They both have stereo speakers...
I suspect an XR or an 11 might sound better than either of these but I have not had much experience other than hearing VoiceOver on a client's phone. I will be getting a new work iPhone 11 in a couple of weeks. If you would like, I could do a similar comparison between the SE and the 11. Its sad that you cannot sample them in a quiet room at the Apple store.

Or an iPhone X.
