Customer Reviews:

Powerful [Posted on 2006-05-22]
With two small (5.7 cm diameter) yet powerful drivers, the SRS-Z510 delivers deep bass sounds that rivals speakers twice its size. The mini speaker cones are highly responsive to low frequencies, vibrating ferociously to bass tones and drum beats at high volume yet barely produce any audible distortions. The treble is a little mellow by comparison, but overall the Z510 offers a very well balanced sound.

However, due to the high current demand of the Z510, the supplied AC/DC adaptor weighs like a brick. The bigger transformer magnet is needed to produce the high 1A current to drive those powerful speakers.

If you are the kind who hates the sound of squeaky satellites but cannot stand the sight of a subwoofer lurking under your PC table and do not mind not getting earth quaking bass tones from your sound card / audio players, this is the unit to look out for.

Big Sound, Little Speakers [Posted on 2006-08-17]
All I can say is WOW. The sound is very rich for such a small speaker. I was blown away. I was very reluctant but am happy with my purchase. Definitely a recommended item if you are looking for something similar.

Very Happy! [Posted on 2006-11-10]
I was looking for a good compromise between the sound of a 3 piece (subwoofer)system and a 2 piece system and I think I found it!
For my personal use at work, I definitively do not want a subwoofer under my desk, but I want decent bass output. Most 2 piece systems lack bass simply due to audio physics; they are too small and light. That's why subwoofers are bigger and heavier.
This very nice product from Sony delivers very acceptable bass sound and volume to satisfy my expectations. They are small but the enclosure is designed to be deep(aprox.5inches), and tall(aprox.7 inches), to allow the air inside to reverberate enough to create the "woof" needed for bass, which comes out of a well designed opening just below the cones.
I don't think it can match a 3 piece system in bass output, but these little things rock me enough!
It also has a front headphones port, in case you want to explode your head with sound, without annoying your coworkers(or your wife)!
If you're like me, and don't want a subwoofer on the floor, this is a definite great purchase!
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it suffers a little bit from the lack of treble, which can be easily compensated with your iTunes equalizer controls. Mine are on a Mac G5.
I know nothing about PC's, but I am sure you can also equalize the sound to your taste in Windows, I hope.
Buy with confidence...you won't be dissapointed!

Great Laptop speakers [Posted on 2007-08-23]
I bought these for my laptop, at first I thought they were horrible until I figured out that I had to configure my laptop for external speakers, haha. Once I did that the sound was excellent. the quality of these speakers is awesome. They are the perfect size. I'm very happy with this purchase.
