Replacement Internal Speaker Left+Right Set Fit for MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Retina A1398 Series (Mid 2012, Early 2013) 2014 2015

They don't sound amazing but neither did the original speakers. I'm not sure what everyone is complaining about. They sound basically the same as what I had before my left speaker blew out. It's an 11 year old laptop it's not going to sound amazing.

I had to teardown my whole laptop to replace these, not an issue, but not easy to install, but works great for me. My original was blown out. Youtube will probably be your best friend

Sound quality is a bit worse compared to initial Apple product, but much cheaper alternative to Apple repair and beats a broken spells by miles. Replacement is extensive work (2-3h), patience and a steady hand is key. Using the provided hardware would work, but I had an Ifixit set with various prying devices that worked better.

My left speaker went bad ( to the point nothing was legible coming out of it). The price was right on this, so i decided to give it a try. First and foremost, you need to know what your doing, Took me about an hour to tear it down and put it back together. Second, The tools included were very nice, Magnetic tips are a must when dealing with very small screws. Had no issues with the supplied screwdrivers. Third, They physically fit perfect. all screw holes lined up and mounts very easy. Lastly, the sound quality is sub par (maybe a little lower). These sound nothing close to the original speakers. As most of the one star reviews will say, no bass and not clear highs. Also, i only get half the volume i had before. For me, I can live with it cause its still a major improvement over the blown speaker, But its not good to listen to music with like with the originals. If your audio is absolutely horrible or you have blown speakers these will do the trick, if your upgrading for better sound quality, these are not it.

I just installed the speakers in my MacBook Pro early 2013. The sound is clear but not loud. Not the greatest sounding speakers but they fit perfect, came with some tools, and fixed my issue. I can live with the sound quality as long as I don’t have to replace these again any time soon. Warning: This repair is not for the faint of heart. There are lots of connectors and super thin ribbon cables that can easily break. If you have never worked on laptops or cell phones, don’t try to do this on your own. It’s real easy to screw up your machine. You have to take the motherboard out to get the speakers out. There are no shortcuts.

These were an absolute NIGHTMARE to instal in my MacBook Pro. After installation, the volume was different from the original speakers. Poor sound quality, and then, the right speaker quit working about 2 weeks after installation. Not going through this process again. Not worth it! I'm just using Bluetooth earbuds until the laptop croaks!

Disclaimer, I got the speakers in today and replaced only the RH one due to it being blown... So, I am reviewing this product based on build quality, doing it yourself (DIY), and only one speaker (RH). The product was a perfect fit for my 2013 MacBook Pro 15". First power on (same day review), the speaker works like a champ and there is no sound difference from the OEM LH speaker. Overall, the replacement was very easy, but be weary, you have to take apart the majority of the laptop. What helped me: Take pictures as you remove screws and components and draw a diagram for the parts and screws removed. Youtube was a HUGE help, I found a step by step video in seconds.

They sound very similar to the original speakers. Couple points to know, the screw on the left speaker that sits under the logic board is not long enough as the plastic on the surrounds are slightly thicker. This also caused my hard drive to touch the speaker on the right side but I have a large capacity after market drive which is slightly longer than the factory drive. Other than that all the screw holes lined up and everything fit. Sounds clean and loud. Happy with the buy.

Very bad Didn’t work at all 5% of the original sound

After the painful process of the replacement, the speakers turned out to be not working. The right speakers completely dead and the left speaker’s sound quality is too poor. Apparently they’re not tested.

Difícil de instalara pero pude reemplazar las bocinas de mi Apple computadora

After one week it's damaged

I just had these speakers installed at a repair shop today and I was shocked by the tinny sound. The volume is poor as well. I have 3 other MacBook Pros so I know what to expect. I would ask for a replacement but it is too expensive to have another set of speakers installed. What would you suggest?
