Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought two of these Sony speakers and they exceeded my expectations. The sound is crystal clear with rich bass, and pairing them for stereo mode creates an amazing immersive experience. Bluetooth connects instantly, battery easily lasts a full day, and the water-resistant design makes them perfect for outdoor trips. The modern design with LED lighting adds a fun touch to any gathering. Absolutely worth it and I highly recommend them

With Sony’s new ULT Field 1, it’s as easy as one, two, three from set up to listening to your favorite music! You can enjoy music playback. It is nice to find some tech that is so simple to use. There is a QR Code to scan on the packaging for a link to install the Sony App. Once the App is installed and is opened, select your specific Sony Speaker. I used Bluetooth to pair with the Sony ULT Field 1 from my cell phone with Spotify. I wasted no time in listening to my favorite songs and playlists. Great sound from a small “personal” Bluetooth speaker! • The battery life is 13 hours (kind of short for being such a small device these days). The ULT Field 1 gets its charge from a USB Type C port hidden in the back of the speaker. Unfortunately, the charging cable is what I would call, extremely short. This is a “minor” issue in my opinion because you have to be close to an outlet or USB Type A port. So, this takes up a lot of space on a desk. Even though this is inconvenient, it’s not bad as it seems because a lot of Bluetooth speakers have the same “problem.” I don’t like it, but it is not a make-or-break moment in choosing the Sony speaker. • I would say the Sony ULT Field 1 is on the lighter side of things while in your hand. This contributes to a rating of “IP67” which is protocol for being “waterproof, shock proof and dust proof.” It is also very sturdy despite its lightweight feel. When you like taking it on the go, there is a hand/wrist band that makes the ULT Field 1 easy to carry. • The Sony ULT Field 1 has really amazing all around surround sound for its size. Sony, using a “sound diffusion processor” basically allows you to hear music from all around while reflecting the sound off objects in the immediate area. This makes the speaker sound “larger” than its actual size. The ULT Field 1, has two passive radiators at either end of the speaker that move with the compression of air inside the speaker. It adds substantial bass to the overall music being played. The overall quality of the sound for this speaker is excellent for its small size. With the ULT button on, the music and sounds definitely take a step up in the area of substantial bass. When the ULT button is off, I think it is great for podcasts or anything that requires vocals or speech. You will definitely notice these differences right away, on or off, with the ULT button. I believe this is intentional and accentuates the sound for low frequencies (music) separately from high frequencies (vocal or speech). • Another added “touch” was the soft touch buttons that control the Sony ULT Field 1. You can access volume up/down, play/pause (phone call too), Bluetooth and power (which also shows how much battery life you have left). Add Pandora, Spotify or YouTube Music (I did not see Tidal) for your music streaming, or music you have downloaded on your smart phone, tablet or laptop/desktop. • While working on this review and listening to the Sony ULT Field 1, I received a phone call. So I pushed down the button play/pause which also answers phone calls. The microphones definitely did their job as I sounded clear, and bright to the caller. The caller in the same way sounded good to my ears. Sony did a nice job on this particular feature on the ULT Field 1. Bring your music with you all summer long! The ultra-portable ULT Field 1 Bluetooth personal speaker is a great companion for trips too. The sound is great for its size and the ULT button provides all the bass you’ll need to enjoy music.

The Sony ULT wireless speaker has been a great personal speaker with a long battery life. I use a personal speaker nearly every day to listen to podcasts, audiobooks, and music. I’ve used it for 5 days anywhere between 20 min to 2 hrs per day and have only needed to charge it once. The Sony Music Center app says it’s currently at 80% battery. A very practical feature that I enjoy about this Sony speaker is that it’s portable and waterproof so I can place it on the edge of my shower and not really worry about it getting splashed with a little bit of water. I can also hang it on a towel hook with the included strap. I like that it can sit flat or on its side, it’s basically the size of a water cup so it fits neatly on my desk. I feel that the sound is good, but more for podcasts and audiobooks than music. Even when the ULT bass boosting button was not turned on, the bass was a bit too much for me on the default mode. I went into the sound settings on the Music Center App to tinker with the levels and was able to get the speaker to sound a little more to my liking. While listening to some music, I picked up a phone call and enjoyed a clear call. This wireless speaker has echo-canceling technology and a built-in microphone. This was very convenient because I didn’t have to disconnect the speaker and when I was done with the call, I seamlessly went back to listening to music. The volume button seems like it has more levels of adjustment than my phone, so I feel like I can change the volume little by little, which I think is a great feature. Listening to podcasts and audiobooks means that the “next” button skips forward 15 seconds and I love that I can access that feature by double pressing the play/pause button. I think this is a great speaker for people who prefer an artificially bass boosted listening experience. This will continue to be my daily speaker for the foreseeable future because it has a ton of features that I do like and the battery life has proven to be long-lasting.

Every vacation needs a soundtrack, and the Sony ULT FIELD 1 didn't just provide the music for my latest trip—it was the party. This compact speaker, with its sleek black finish, proved to be an indispensable companion, especially during a full week of beach relaxation and poolside fun. If you're looking for a portable speaker that can handle sand, sun, and splash while still delivering head-turning sound, this is the one. Built for the Beach: Rugged and Ready The ULT FIELD 1 is designed for adventure, and I truly put it to the test. With an IP67 rating, I never worried about sand kicking up from beach blankets or the inevitable salty spray from the waves. It’s fully dustproof and waterproof, and even the surprise splashes from an afternoon thunderstorm didn't phase it. The multi-way strap was a game-changer, allowing me to easily clip it to my beach bag, hang it from an umbrella, or prop it up horizontally on the sand. Its robust, shockproof build means you can toss it in a suitcase or backpack without a second thought. Sound That Steals the Show The biggest surprise was the power it packed into such a small frame. I initially doubted a compact speaker could fill a wide-open beach area, but the ULT FIELD 1 did exactly that. It features clear highs and a rich midrange, making every playlist—from mellow island tunes to high-energy dance tracks—sound fantastic. The star feature, however, is the dedicated ULT button. One press transforms the audio, unleashing a deep, powerful bass that you can actually feel. This bass boost was perfect for outdoor listening, cutting through the ambient noise of the wind and waves to keep the energy high. I wasn't the only fan. Every day, people would wander over to our spot, asking what speaker we were using. The ULT FIELD 1 was instantly the focal point of our group's gathering. Its loud, crisp audio made it easy for everyone to hear the music without distorting, and that satisfying, punchy bass was a hit. It truly helped create the ultimate vacation vibe, turning casual hangouts into unforgettable mini-parties. Even when running it for hours, the long battery life meant we rarely had to worry about running out of juice before the sunset. The Sony ULT FIELD 1 isn't just a speaker; it's a social tool that brings premium sound and reliable durability to any environment. For travelers and outdoor enthusiasts, it’s a non-negotiable piece of gear.

The Sony ULT Field 3 is a powerhouse in a portable package. The sound is crisp, loud, and surprisingly deep for its size, with punchy bass that doesn’t distort even at high volumes. It’s perfect for outdoor hangouts, beach trips, or just vibing at home. The battery life is impressive, easily lasting all day, and the rugged, waterproof build means you don’t have to worry about a little rain or splash. Bluetooth connection is quick and stable, and the extra bass/ULT button gives your music that extra kick when you need it. Overall, the ULT Field 3 delivers rich, dynamic sound and durability in a sleek design—definitely worth it if you want a reliable and great-sounding portable speaker.

Sony’s bluetooth speakers are always hit or miss for me. They often sound good, but are more expesnive than other brands while not sounding any better. Not the csse with the new Ult series. This is Sony’s new Ult rugged portable speaker. It’s rated for dust, water, and drop resistance. The built-in rope for clipping to things is a nice touch. The speaker gets loud and pumps out the bass when the Ult button is pressed. Battery life is ample and recharges via USB C. There’s not much more I can say about this great speaker.

Overall a very good speaker. Pros Connects easily and maintains connection around my house Plenty loud for the house but probably not enough for a house party Battery lasts 8 + hours Build quality is great Cons Music quality or accuracy only ok with lots of muddy bass. Cost seemed slightly high for sound quality.

I wanted a small speaker to be able to take with me anywhere. This Sony ULT field speaker definitely fit that criteria. I like that it has the ULT button on the speaker; as a bass and music lover I keep this button on! It honestly delivers ultimate bass; sound quality feels as though I have a home theater sound system in a smaller size with this speaker. The volume can be either high or low and it still can be heard/felt in such a powerful way unlike other speakers I've had. I like to have music in my kitchen, bathroom, anywhere in my home. I can enjoy my music whenever I shower! Yes, I love to have music in my bathroom as I shower and my Sony ULT field is indeed water proof; of course I don't have it inside my shower with me I have it inside my bathroom and listen as I shower. With all the moisture build up in my bathroom from taking a shower; I don't have to worry about my speaker getting damage. This speaker has passed the test and I love to be able to feel as though I am in a concert while I shower! I cannot wait to take this when me on the to when summer comes; to the beach, pool and not have to worry since it's waterproof. I've noticed that some speaker can get collect dust when they put in an area. However, my Sony ULT field is on a whole another level. I have not seen any dust accumulate no matter where I place it for however long unlike other speakers that I have had/have. That to me is a great thing! The multi strap makes it super convenient to carry anywhere. The strap is very sturdy and hold my Sony ULT field speaker very well. I don't have to constantly charge my speaker as the battery life last 12 hours. I have tested this and this is indeed true! I love that I can listen to my speaker for long hours and not have to worry about the battery quickly draining. Now, when it comes to shockproof I have tested this without trying. I mean my that is that I had my Sony ULT field a little too close to the edge and had it sideways and it ended up falling and it took me by surprised. However, the speaker keep playing music as of nothing and there wasn't any bumps and scrapes. I gasped when I saw/heard it knocked down; however, then realized how powerful my speaker is when I saw that nothing happened to it! This Sony ULT field is the real deal! I love that as I'm listening to music if a call comes in for me I don't have to switch to my bluetooth headphones. I can continue to speak through my speaker and the sound is super clear on my end and on the callers end. I downloaded the music center app when I connected my Sony ULT field speaker to my phone as well as my computer. It's a great app, it's easy to navigate. It helps to optimize my audio settings and to retrieve playlist from phone and computer. My Sony ULT field speaker has it all! As a music lover that likes to have my music everywhere I love this speaker it's multi faceted. I am super happy to have this and I would recommended it anyone that's is looking for a speaker with the criteria that this Sony ULT field carries.

I purchased this speaker to augment my iPhone in social situations. I've found it very easy to pair with my phone and the sound it puts out is really outstanding - good bass and good treble. Volume is quite strong, too. The battery lasts a long time and recharging is very simple. I got an excellent price on this item; with some BB points and the customer discount, I got it for less than $70. Very pleased with my purchase.

The sound quality is fantastic! But my favorite with it is the anount of bass that you get from such a compact device, very easy to carry with you, easy to take on a jog, to the beach, a small party, and the sound will fill a room perfectly! Easy to connect, battery life is solid, I enjoyed the purchase!

I picked up the Sony ULT Field 3 Wireless Speaker in black and it’s been a solid choice for outdoor use. The build feels tough and the IP67 rating gives peace of mind when using it at the beach or pool. Battery life is excellent — I easily get a full day of playback, and the quick charge feature is handy. Sound quality is clear for vocals and mids, but the bass feels flat until you hit the ULT button. Once activated, the low end really comes alive, though at higher volumes you can notice some compression. I also wish it had stereo playback instead of mono, but for casual listening and portability it does the job well. Overall, this is a reliable speaker for anyone who wants durability, long battery life, and customizable sound. If you’re a bass lover, the ULT mode makes it shine.

Initial Impressions: I pulled this out of the box with with high expectations being a Sony product and was not disappointed. The overall construction feels really solid - I.e. it will take a beating in my daypack or on a bike out to a camping site. I charged it up - That took about three hours so given the rated charging time ( 5hours ) I would guess it arrived at about 60 percent. The bungee style cord and fabric like covering both feel durable and are not likely to hold water. The rubberized surfaces are great and provide a nice grip. Connectivity: I connected this to iPhone, A New flagship model Android Tablet, an old android tablet and Windows PC. Pairing was simple and the device connected without issue to everything I tried it on. All newer devices were able to reconnect without issue. I always test this as I have had a few devices in the past that were just difficult, required re-pairing or had to otherwise be "rebooted". I had no such issues with this speaker. It worked as expected. Audio: Lows are especially good for a speaker of this size with the ULT feature enabled. Overall volume and clarity is excellent for a monoaural speaker that's the size of an energy drink. Clarity of voice for audiobooks and speech is very high with or without ULT enabled. This is an area that many small speakers fall short in - this one does not. Battery Life: I ran this in my garage with ULT turned off for most of the day, over a standard weekend. I left it on intentionally just to see how long it would last. It exceeded the rated 12 hours with ULT enabled by 5 hours and still had power left. This is about double the battery life of my prior Bluetooth portable speaker ! It's rated at 12 hours 50 percent volume with ULT disabled. The sound level at 40-60 percent with ULT should yield around 8-9 hours of playback which is more than enough for me. Buttons: The control buttons are recessed behind a rubberized panel and include exactly what is needed: Power/Pairing Mode/Play-Pause-Call End/Vol -/Vol +/Ult Boost What I love - Great for a conference / group call ! Rust, Dust and water resistance, overall tough design ! Room for improvement - The included travel charging cord is incredibly short. I would prefer one 2-3 times the length.

Really fantastic battery life! I love the sound waves. It even sounds great on the ocean. The vibrant orange color makes the speaker easy to keep track of. The best feature really is the rope attached, which acts as a handle. I use a carabiner to hang the speaker up while charging and while listening, which works great on the go. Sony nailed this one! Price was right!

The new Sony ULT Field 1 Bluetooth speaker is Sony Corporation's new entry into the crowded arena of small portable Bluetooth speakers. Is it worthy of your consideration? Sound: This speaker packs quite a punch for it's size. The ULT sound button increases the bass response of the Field 1 quite a bit, but not at the cost of decreased treble. I think it has a very pleasing sound quality, especially at lower to mid volume levels. The bass response is slightly reduced at higher volumes, which is pretty typical of all small speakers. Build Quality: The design and construction seems to be well done and this speaker should be able to stand up to the stress of daily use quite well. The two side mounted passive radiators are protected by solid feeling endcaps, which I believe are rubber coated. I like that the included sturdy strap is removable if desired. I don't plan to get this speaker wet, but it's nice to know that it is protected from accidental spills and drops. Sony app: This speaker doesn't require an app for connecting to a phone or tablet, but the Sony Music Center app is helpful for firmware updates and for it's equalizer function. By the way, connecting was simple, with no issues for me. The Bluetooth seems fine. I have not experienced any sound dropouts or lost connection issues around my apartment. Call quality: No dropouts, but slightly muffled. I would call it fine overall. No problems in conversation. Things I don't like: Mono speakers are not my preference, but I still like this speaker since it can be positioned upright and horizontally with no difference in the sound. I do plan to purchase another of the ULT Field 1 to make a stereo pair in the near future. Conclusion: Would I recommend this speaker? The answer is a definite yes. If you are looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker that pack a bass punch above it's weight class, then I believe you won't be disappointed with the Sony ULT Field 1.

This is my favorite Bluetooth speaker I've ever purchased by far. It is SO versatile. I use it all day, everyday. The bass is uncommonly great for a speaker this small. Small enough to take on day hikes. Totally durable and waterproof. I kayak with it. I strap it to bikes and even a Vespa scooter. I can use it as a speaker for my computer. My favorite use is at night. I use it as the Bluetooth speaker for my bedroom TV. I hate using earbuds or headphones. I can put this on my nightstand right next to my ear, listen to an action movie with explosions and not disturb anybody in the house. If I am watching the news or a podcast on YouTube, I can take it with me to any room in my 1200 sq ft apartment to continue listening while cooking or cleaning & the range is fine. It's a great choice for apartments and dorms. It's loud enough and has enough bass to jam out in a small space, but you aren't gonna get a call from the landlord. With the waterproof feature, you can take it into the shower with you, which is the only place I sound good singing along. I love it so much, I'm thinking about getting a 2nd one, since it can be paired with a 2nd speaker for more stereo sound. It has INCREDIBLE battery life. One full charge should last you all day. I've looked at Bose, JBL and some of the other options. This is definitely the most bang for your buck. Great quality. Great all-around sound. I've had it six months and haven't noticed any battery degradation. You really can't go wrong.

Nice portable sized (say in between a small and medium size) speaker with this feature of “ULT Power Sound”. I did pair and played some satellite radio and it sounded great.. and pushed this holographic ULT led button and it does seem to boost the bass while still the rest of the music is clear. Works great with the Music center app and could group another compatible Sony speaker that I do have to create almost a stereo environment with. The carrying strap is great and could loop around anywhere for added sound when it comes to small events or some outdoor activities (like riding a bike or hiking). The unit was fairly charged and worked right out of the box but does come with a usbc charging cable. Though I haven’t tested it out in the harshest conditions (I always baby most of my electronics), this is shockproof and weatherproof so I feel confident it will do the job when wading around the shores of an ocean beach or by having it by the poolside somewhere at a pool at a house party. And it can be positioned to whatever you may like either placed horizontal or vertical standing.

Picked this up recently and I’ve been really impressed with it. The battery lasts a long time and the sound quality is genuinely great. What surprised me most is how loud it gets. I pushed the volume pretty high and it stayed clear without any cracking or distortion. I brought it to a birthday party in a gymnasium and it filled the whole space without any issues. There were a lot of people and plenty of noise, but the music still carried really well. It also feels sturdy and well made. Overall, just a solid speaker with strong sound, great battery life, and way more volume than I expected for the size.

I've been very impressed this speaker so far. The sound is nice and full and and you can definitely tell a difference with the Ult bass mode turned on. The battery life is nice, I haven't had an issue with it so far. The speaker is light and easy to carry. The feature that is added to this that is really nice is the phone feature. Being able to make and receive calls is a nice bonus and the the quality of the phone quality has been really good. I know you can use the Sony app with the speaker, which normally when I have an option to use the equalizer I will, but the sound has been so good I haven't even used the app. You do have the option to connect 2 of these together for even a nicer immersive experience, which I'm sure I will probably do in the future, but for now the one works great!

This speaker works great. Connects fast when powering on, battery life is excellent, and the sound quality is great. Water and dust resistant. Only complaint is the material feels like it could get dirty easily, but should be able to wash / wipe it down given water proof rating.

The Sony ULT Field 3 blew me away with how much sound it delivers for such a compact and portable speaker. The bass is rich and deep without overwhelming the mids or highs, making it perfect for everything from rap and EDM to acoustic sessions. It easily fills a room or backyard space with clear, powerful sound. Battery life is another huge win—it lasts all day without needing a charge, which makes it perfect for outdoor activities, travel, or just keeping around the house. The build feels durable and rugged, yet it’s sleek and stylish enough to fit anywhere. I also love how quickly it pairs with my devices and how stable the Bluetooth connection is. Overall, this speaker checks every box: portability, durability, amazing sound quality, and long-lasting battery. If you want premium audio on the go, the ULT Field 3 is a fantastic choice.
