Sony - ULT FIELD 5 Wireless Speaker - Off White

I have tested this playing bluetooth TV and music on it all day long (no breaks) and the battery life is over one day unplugged. I didn’t even know this type of technology or battery life existed. It also charges super fast. It is the best sounding “soundbar” that I’ve ever owned hands down. I use it to watch TV, I use it for games, and my phone connects to it while it’s plugged into all those things. It could stay connected to multiple devices at the same time so when you just start to play, it plays off whatever device. Zero sound lag. The sound is absolutely spectacular. And you can switch between modes - which is basically full bass, treble supporting, or and in between. I play rock music and it sounds perfect in one mode and then I play rap music and it sounds spectacular. Shaking my whole apartment practically. It’s perfect for any type of music. My quality of life would be less if I didn’t have this. I’m not joking. It is a perfect modern boombox as well when I walk on the pier for the beach. God forbid if this thing breaks. I am getting another one like same day.

So I use this for my PC and I'm amazed how easily and quickly it connects. It works for games and shows and is far more versatile than PC speakers that cost the same. Battery life is insane compared to what I had before, and I'll be honest, it gets far louder than what I would need, but the smaller Field 3 does not have an aux input where this one does and that was a must for me. Almost over kill for most cases but very well made and durable for indoor or outdoor use. Highly recommend if you want a large and durable BT speaker that actually sounds good.

I purchased this yesterday taking a chance with no reviews and demo station set up. I purchased this with a plan to get another so I can have a left and right for a better bedroom projector experience. The music playback has exceeded my expectations. The sound is full and spacious more like the ult field 7, compared to the pair XV500 I have which are known for poor directivity. Im hoping in party mode the wide range of the ult field 5 complement the poor direction of the xv500. The speaker is heavy for its size and feels very solid. It comes with a thick carrying strap. It uses the sony sound connect app which was new to me has good functionality. It also uses sonys music center app simultaneously. Setup and update was easy after a few minutes understanding what needed to be done. There is a distinct sound difference when using no Ult, Ult 1 and Ult 2. The fact that its IP67 gives a peace of mind when using them outside and around the pool. Right now I have the speaker on about 30% in another room and I can hear and feel the full range of whats being played. Its perfect!

Powerful sound. Gets extremely loud if you want to. For listening inside my workout room I set the speaker to 1/3 volumn. I use the ULT 1 preset. I find the ULT 2 preset to be too bright. It causes hearing fatigue. The ULT 1 preset is perfect. The speaker looks fantastic! I bought the black one. The lights don't really do much, but they add some atmosphere. It weighs 7 pounds, so you know it can rock! I listen to it while plugged in because that gives it a little more power. Only negative is that Sony doesn't supply a charging brick. I had to buy a 40watt USB-C wall charger which cost an additional $16.

This Bluetooth speaker is incredibly good and it is worth getting it, especially on special. I did used the Sony Sound Connect app and made a custom EQ setting (V-Shape EQ) and it sounds amazing.and I also Wavelet app with YouTube Music with the same V-Shape EQ setting and improves the sound quality with mids, highs and bass. The music that I played from Spanish rock (Maná and Juanes), bachata (Aventura/Romeo Santos and Prince Royce), nu-metal (Linkin Park, Deftones and System of a Down), punk rock (Rise Against), EDM (DJ Hero 1 and 2 OSTs and Hardbass), K-Pop Demon Hunters OST and metalcore (Bullet For My Valentine and Bring Me The Horizon), this speaker can handle so well with these genres. Definitely recommending it!
