Rating: - Exceptional Sound Imaging
I work in Pro audio and got turned on to these by a friend who already used them and let me borrow his set first. The sound imaging and clarity is exceptional for their size and price, but people who don't specifically listen for detail might want to be able to add more low-end. For me this is the perfect set of lightweight speakers to take on the road with my laptop.
Rating: - Giant Killer (with a little help)
I had been looking for a better quality speaker to replace the high quality (but huge) speakers that were packaged with my new Sony R series computer. I considered the Bose media mates and others recommended on this site but most still took a significant chunk of real estate and did little to free up visual space either. So I noticed the SRS-Z1 on the Sony website and immediately thought, there is no way that those tiny little things with only three watts per channel are going to sound half as good as my current speakers but...
So here they sit on my desk, barely even noticable ... Read More
Rating: - This speakers are WAY Overpriced
If you really want portable speakers that sound great and cost a lot less go for the Bose Mediamates. They have exceptional sound quality for their size and price. Search for them and read my review on the Bose Mediamate! If you just want great speakers that go even louder than the Bose and have room shaking bass and can afford expesnive ones go for the Bose Companion 3! It is an AMAZING speaker system and it is like $20 more dollars than htis Sony speakers... go to www.bose.com and take a look at it under the Game and PC Section!

O.K. So you're an audio enthusiast with a multi thousand dollar esoteric hi fi system at home. Only you like to travel, and there's no way 100 odd kilo's of gear are going to find a place in your samsonite. Now here's a solution for all you music lovers out there who have been looking desperately for a portable system that adheres to higher fidelity standards: the Sony srs-Z1.
They are very pleasing to the eye, but it's sound that we're concerned about, so I'll get right down to it.
Sweetness and clarity are the first things that spring to mind when describing these beauties.Absolutely ... Read More
Rating: - A wonderful pair of mini speakers!
One of the smallest speakers on the market with fully qualified hifi sound. It's incredible that so small speakers could manage to create such a large soundstage. They present treble and midrange with an accuracy similar to electrostatic speakers. The bass is good enough, but lacks in quantity and power. My only recommendation: Buy and enjoy them ! I'm doing so !
