I had the Sony SRS-Z510 active speakers with my old PC which I had around 3-4 years ago. They were decent active speakers at the time and did the job.

The first thing I noticed was that they were quite heavy and the second thing I noticed was that although they looked small from the front, they were actually good 12cm long in height. The audio cable supplied was around 2 meters in length which was standard supplied as speakers were designed to be placed on your desk, hence the length of cable supplied. The speakers had two inputs, which was ideal if you wanted to connect you MP3 player and your PC to them at the same time. Also on the speakers was the usual headphone jack. The on/off switch was lit up by a green LED when the system was switched on. The volume knob was smooth and didn't feel loose at all, which made it easy to adjust the volume by minuet amounts, exactly to the level desired.

- Total output 7 W
- 2-way audio input, connect your WALKMAN and PC simultaneously
- Built-in Mega Bass for a powerful bass sound
- High-frequency reproduction 40 kHz
- Equipped with Sigma-type magnetic circuit
- Long lead for convenient connection to WALKMAN and PC
- Magnetically shielded to minimise noise interference from PC or monitor
- Detachable speaker guards
- Tilted speaker cabinet for elevated sound field
- Volume control for convenient operation
- Headphone jack available
- AC adaptor supplied
- Audio cable supplied

The Sony SRS-Z510 active speakers looked neat when placed along side the computer. They weren't bulky and fitted nicely either side of the monitor I had at the time.

The sound quality these speakers produced was quite good. I didn't ever get any distorted sound or crackling sounds from the speakers even at high volume.

Overall the Sony SRS-Z510 active speakers were just what I wanted at that time and got the job done. I think I bought the speakers for around £50.
