Impressive Sound in a Small Package!

I bought the Sony ULT Field 1 for beach days and backyard hangouts, and I’m honestly blown away. For such a small speaker, the sound is massive. The bass hits hard (especially when you press the ULT button), and it doesn’t get distorted even when you crank up the volume.
Battery life has been great so far — I used it all afternoon and it still had plenty of charge left. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and the little strap makes it perfect for clipping onto my backpack when I’m on the go.
What really sold me is the fact that it’s waterproof and dustproof. I’ve already taken it to the lake and had no issues at all, even when it got splashed a bit. Super durable and solid build quality.
Bluetooth connection is quick and stable — no dropouts or delays. I might even buy a second one to try the stereo pairing feature.
Pros:
• Big bass for the size
• Long battery life
• Waterproof & rugged
• Easy to carry
• Great value for the price
Cons:
– Not super loud for very large outdoor spaces
– No built-in voice assistant (not a dealbreaker for me)
If you want a portable speaker that brings serious sound without taking up much space, this is it. Highly recommend! ***Case Sold Separate
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thorough review of the Sony ULT Field 1, MochaBailey! It’s fantastic to hear you’re enjoying both the powerful sound and portability, especially during your beach days and backyard gatherings.
We love that the deep bass and distortion-free performance at high volumes stood out to you, and we’re glad the lightweight design, long battery life, and rugged features like waterproofing and dustproofing are adding to your experience. Your feedback on the quick and stable Bluetooth connection and the potential for stereo pairing is appreciated—it’s always exciting to hear when customers are considering expanding their setup!
We also appreciate your honest notes on areas of improvement. We’re always looking for ways to enhance our products, so feedback about volume in larger spaces and features like voice assistant integration is really valuable.
Thanks again for your recommendation and for highlighting what worked best for you. Enjoy your music everywhere your adventures take you!

Sony vs JBL

I purchased both the JBL Flip 6 and ULT Field 1 to compare the sound. Here’s my verdict:
Both speakers sound very similar. I wouldn’t say one is a clear winner over the other. I think the JBL outputs slightly more bass with EQ on max compared to the Field 1 with ULT mode on. But it’s very close. However, I enjoy the midrange on the Sony more. Guitars and vocals sound a bit more “forward” compared to the Flip 6. Highs are very similar, can’t hear much difference. Volume is also comparable. Both speakers do a fine job filling a small room. I will probably keep both.
Hi Leo1, We appreciate your detailed feedback. We're glad that the speaker does a fine job. Thank you for choosing Sony. Erin

Overall best portable speaker 2025 summer

I recently got the Sony ULT Field 1 and loved it so much that I ended up picking up the bigger ULT Field 3 as well. At higher volumes, the ULT Field 3 definitely delivers a much deeper bass compared to the Field 1, and the vocals come through clearer too. I think ult field 3 is a sweet spot in size not too small not too large to put it in a back pack. Overall, I’m really impressed with this speaker.
Even though I also have the JBL Authentics 500, I find myself constantly reaching for the ULT Field 3—it just makes music so enjoyable to listen to. I really appreciate the ULT button. Some people say it’s pointless because they never feel the need to turn it off, but personally, when I’m watching videos, I like to switch it off to reduce the bass and keep the focus more on vocals.
If there’s one thing I wish it had, it would be a USB audio connection. I know JBL’s Charge 6 includes this feature, so I was hoping Sony would too. But other than that, in terms of sound quality and design, I think the Sony ULT Field 3 is easily the best portable speaker for summer 2025.

It strikes a balance between portability, sound quality, and durability. For its size, it has great sound quality. It does not stand out for its volume level because it prioritizes sound quality, especially in its bass tones. For this price, it was the best choice. I went looking for a JBL and I am happy with my decision to buy the Sony. I recommend.
Hi FelipeMB, That's fantastic! Glad to know that you are having an enjoyable listening experience with this wireless speaker. Your satisfaction with the superb sound quality, amazing features, and durable design of your speaker are greatly appreciated. Thank you for the recommendation and for choosing Sony! -Jess

Perfect Travel Buddy: Sony ULT FIELD 1

The Sony ULT FIELD 1 Wireless Speaker is awesome for its size! It’s super portable, tough enough for the outdoors, and the sound is way better than you’d expect—especially if you hit that ULT bass button. It’s waterproof and dustproof, so you can take it anywhere without worrying. The battery holds up pretty well, but if you crank up the bass, it might not last all day. On its own, it plays in mono, but you can pair two of these speakers together for real stereo sound, which is a cool bonus. For the price and how easy it is to use, it’s a great pick for music on the go. Definitely recommend if you want something small but mighty!
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback about the Sony ULT FIELD 1, amis00! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying its portability, durability, and powerful sound—especially with the ULT bass feature. It's great to know the waterproof and dustproof design is giving you peace of mind during your adventures, and that the stereo pairing option enhances your listening experience even more.
We appreciate your honest note about battery performance on higher bass settings, and we're glad to see the convenience and value have matched your expectations. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope the ULT FIELD 1 continues to bring big sound wherever you go!
Thank you for choosing Sony!

I was looking for a mini speaker to take on vacation and I ran into this one. At first I was not really feeling the speaker on the demo display. I actually had another speaker I wanted but I was on a budget. When I got home and played it through my cell phone.... Man it shocked me. It did not play no where like this in the store. The bass is sufficient when you switch to the ULT and the highs and mids are spot on. For a speaker this size, I give it 2 thumbs up. The only think I dislike is the charging cord. Too short. Sony could have done better on that part.
Hi Tony, it brings us great joy to hear your positive experience with the SRS-ULT10 speaker! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. It's wonderful to know that the sound quality exceeded your expectations once you tried it at home. We also value your feedback regarding the charging cord length and we will certainly take that into consideration for future improvements.
The SRS-ULT10 is designed to deliver impressive bass and clear highs, making it a fantastic choice for your vacation.
Thank you for choosing Sony! Best regards, Estefany

With the bass boost on I get 9 hours of play time. If I use it without the bass boost I get almost triple that time. Great quality sound even with the boost off. DEFINATELY well worth the money.
Hello RobertN! Thank you so much for the amazing feedback on your ULT FIELD 3 speaker! It is great to hear that you're enjoying the speaker so much and that it's worth the money for you.
The ULT FIELD 3 is built for adventure and big sound, which is why it comes with a massive battery life (up to 24 hours!), a compact design with a handy detachable shoulder strap, and a tough IP67 rating making it waterproof and dustproof.
We appreciate you choosing Sony! Best regards, Estefany

The ULT FIELD 7 lets you take the party anywhere thanks to the quick-charging capabilities, dust-and-rust proof construction, plus a long battery life means the party can go on uninterrupted.

The best BT Speaker ive bought, currently its my PC's main speaker and it sounds great! I do sound mixing with it (prolly not ideal) but it gets the job done and for watching video and listening to music it does more than enough.
We are truly heartened to learn that the ULT FIELD 1 has proven to be your preferred wireless audio device!
It's fantastic that you have adopted it as the primary sound output for your computer, and we are thrilled that the audio reproduction is exceptional. Your comment on its capability for music production tasks, and its superior performance for media consumption and musical playback, highlights its versatility.
Thank you for making the ULT FIELD 1 your top choice!

A solid and good speaker. Very good. Sony is usually solid. This hits that mark. Compared to the higher priced brands. Like Bose. No where near as expensive and it sounds just as good. Just as of not more durable. I would recommend it to anyone looking for one of these. I would also not hesitate to buy it as a gift.
Hi Dopey5656, Thank you very much for the five-star rating! We're delighted to hear that your Sony ULT FIELD 1 speaker has met your expectations. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your choice of Sony. Here’s to many more amazing listening experiences with your Sony speaker! -Maria
