Zahara Laptop L&R Left & Right Built in Speaker Replacement for Lenovo Thinkpad T460S T470S PK23000N2Y0 PK23000N2N0 00JT988 Fix Sound Distort Buzz Muffled Faulty Speaker

Excellent worked perfectly and game the exact time it was stated to, easy instal speaker quality is great

When I first put these in my Lenovo T460s, they were very buzzy and crackly. I couldn't tell why and assumed that they were just really bad replacements, but didn't care enough to take them back out and send them back.Come maybe two weeks later, and I noticed the crackling/buzzing stopped completely. At full volume the sound can get a little distorted, but overall they can still get fairly loud and they sound good. I couldn't tell how the originals sounded as this was a repair unit laptop that I got with dead speakers, but they sound as good as I'd expect the original speakers to sound straight from Lenovo.If you can break them in (I just have to guess that's why they sounded rough at first), these have been good replacements for cheap in my experience. Pretty happy with them, now my device is fully functional on the cheap.

Lenovo's original speaker lasted a few years. Then I got a replacement that lasted about one year. I ordered two pairs this time from "Zahara", and the first pair was blown from the box, and with the second pair I gently increased volume over time, and about 5 minutes in to use at about 30% volume it started to rattle as well. Do not buy!

The media could not be loaded. In the video you can see the test shows that only the right speaker works.

I never write reviews but I had to because this was a constant issue with this pc. The speakers sounded muffled until I installed the replacement speakers. These worked perfectly and there is no muffle sound anymore, I have tried watching a video and doing a video call and it worked like it originally did and I can hear clearly.There were 5 screws to remove the backplate, 3 screws to remove the battery and 6 screws to remove the speakers and the speakers can only be plugged in one direction so you can't install it wrong.Just unscrew one speaker first and install the new speaker in it's place, when you pull the wire from the old speaker, put the new wire in, this helps you see how it is wired.....or just take a pic.

Speakers work fine but getting the wiring seated seemed a little more difficult than it should have been. The wires seemed about a half centimeter shorter than OEM and the way it was soldered/glued in on the left speaker going to the right made it a bit worse. The wires were coming out pointed slightly in the wrong direction so I had to put a sharp bend in them to make it work. Overall I'd recommend based on price alone.

Fit is exactly as the OEM, replacing the speakers is quite easy if you're familiar replacing components but even if you never have done it there are several online guides, you can even get the service manual from Lenovo where it explains how to do it. Sound quality is better than OEM, yes we all know that that is an opinion and as such it is subjective but what is real is that this set can handle 100% volume on media that I used to lower the volume to avoid distortion. It's been 6 months on daily work and no issues at all.

Quick and easy install and fixed my issue of a very anoying speaker crackle/distortion.Happy customer.
