By far, the best sounding unit for the price!! Using this in a market and it's perfect for the area!!!
It brings us great joy to hear that your ULT FIELD 1 is making such an impact at the market! We engineered this speaker to deliver that signature deep, punchy bass and impressive volume in a compact form, so it’s wonderful to know it provides the perfect sound coverage for your specific environment. It’s a versatile powerhouse, and we are glad that you’re finding its performance so superior for the price.
Thank you for trusting Sony to bring the energy to your workspace.

Bought as a last minute choice for a small wedding reception for dinner music. It has the power to be VERY loud if you'd like, but otherwise we could turn it down and set it in the corner and it was perfect for the location.
Thank you for the five-star review of the ULT FIELD 3! We are really happy to hear that it was the perfect "last-minute choice" for your small wedding reception and that it performed flawlessly as dinner music. It's designed to be versatile—offering powerful volume when needed, but also delivering quality audio at lower settings for intimate locations.
Thanks for choosing Sony!

speaker rounds out my full Sony lineup from the ULT 1 through the ULT 7. Each speaker has its strengths and weaknesses but the ULT 5 really feels like the sweet spot. ULT 1 is a great backpack speaker, ULT 3 is a great small/medium room candidate, and the ULT 7 is a beast for larger rooms or outdoor events. The ULT 5 rounds out the lineup and it truly feels like the best speaker in the lineup if you want a great living room speaker or a trusty road warrior for traveling and smaller/medium outdoor events.
The ULT 5 feels like the perfect combination of all of these but volume is your friend. Anything below 40% seems to sound a tad muffled (even with ULT 2 mode selected) the speaker starts breathing like a dragon once you get to 50% and above up to about 90% when you lose a major majority of your bass and compression starts engaging. This speaker can get loud so it’s honestly too much if you want to get it loud enough to reach its full potential sound and eq response wise in a smaller apartment or bedroom. If you want a living room speaker that will hit in the living room as a party speaker or outdoor event speaker, this speaker will do you wonders!
Lighting differs depending on which color you buy. I loved the ULT 5 so much that I bought a second one in white after my initial purchase of the black model. Lighting definitely seems brighter on the white model as you get more of a reflection off of the side LED’s mounted around the passive radiators and you definitely can see a noticeable difference between the two color options. The black model doesn’t show the lighting as well unless you are in a darker room and the speaker is placed in a corner.
4 stars you ask? Well that is because the Sony apps just straight up won’t connect or work sometimes. The Sony fiesta app hasn’t worked at all (a general app for features such as lighting and dj effect controls) even after many uninstall and reinstalls. I just get a black screen after opening and it’s been a problem for weeks now without an update. While you can work most of the controls in the Sony connect app, it’s sometimes slow and clunky and the deeper options are really buried in the settings. Feels like a majority of the features are too difficult to mess with on a consistent basis.
How does this speaker compare to the XG300 or the xb43? In my humble opinion, the ULT 5 blows them both out of the water in not just sound, but also looks and functionality. While I love my old faithfuls (both still work fine for me and will serve as great options for years to come) you really feel like you are getting a premium device.
How does this speaker compare to larger speakers like the JBL boombox or the ULt 7? You won’t get booming bass or thump at louder volumes over 90% but this speaker can nearly compare in loudness indoors. Outdoors the larger rivals really pull away from the ULT 5 but that is to be expected when you see the price difference. This speaker seems to have more of a flat profile for a majority of its volume range and doesn’t focus on a scooped sound like the boombox 3. Shares a similar characteristics with its larger brother the ULT 7 but you do sense more compression throughout the frequency range when you get over 90% in comparison to the ULT field 7 losing more of its bass at 75%. The ULT 7 can get insanely loud but it’s mainly pushing a ton of mids at you and compressing only the low end frequencies to keep the sound pressure numbers high. The ULT 5 lives to be played at medium volumes and it really sounds it’s best at 50-90% when the whole range gets pumping. Both the boombox and the ULT 7 tend to have more kick in the low end and brighter sound at lower volumes that’s seems to be a bit more rounded for lower volumes. The ULT 5 seems almost a bit muffled even with the ULT mode 2 engaged and custom EQ is essentially useless as it cancels out any ULT modes and you lose a lot of your sound pressure.
While I do love this speaker in comparison to my other Jbl and Bose on the go faithfuls, I would wait for a sell of some sorts on any of the Sony models. It’s normal for Sonys to routinely go on sale randomly and I’ve gotten great discounts on all of my models by not buying day one or rushing to pay MSRP.

Great Little Speaker. I use it quite often. Battery life seems as expected and volume is good. Quality is high for the size of the speaker. The smaller option is more impressive for the size but not as nice over all.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to know that you appreciate the battery life, design, and volume of the SRSULT10. Our goal is to provide an exceptional experience, even in a compact size.
We appreciate your support and thank you for choosing Sony!

Easy to set up. Great sound. Just disappointed that it's unable to pair with my Windows laptop, and no work arounds are available.
We are so glad to hear that the ULT FIELD 1 was easy to set up and is delivering that great sound you expected! It’s awesome to know the audio quality is hitting the mark for you.
Regarding the connection with your Windows laptop, we definitely want to help you find a workaround. While Windows can sometimes be a bit finicky with Bluetooth permissions, the ULT FIELD 1 is fully compatible with Windows 10 and 11. Often, the speaker might be staying "loyal" to a previously paired phone, which prevents the laptop from seeing it.
A great trick is to press and hold the Bluetooth button for about 2 seconds until you hear the "Pairing" voice prompt and the blue light flashes quickly. This forces the speaker into discovery mode so your laptop can find it. You can also try toggling the "Swift Pair" setting in your Windows Bluetooth menu to make the process even smoother!
Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards,
Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Not going to lie, the review for a chance to win a best buy gift card is a plus, but this review is official tissue. This is my second speaker, the first one was the off white. My wife liked it so much, she took it from me lol. Then at my job, the kitchen guys would ask to borrow it so much, i had to get them one as well lol I did not get this on sale, the other two I did. Peeps are impressed by the sound considering the size. If you're looking for a modern day boom box, this is it!
Thank you for sharing your experience with our speakers! It sounds like you and those around you really enjoy them, which makes us happy to hear. We're glad the speakers are getting so much use.
Thank you for choosing Sony! Best regards, - Stephanie
