Great speaker but needs a little more bass
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent speaker. Very pretty with the lights that go with the beat. I wish the BASS was a little deeper. The ULT setting helps and played with Equalizer but still missing a little more thump I think.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the SRS-ULT50, Prolifik. We're glad to hear you appreciate the speaker's lighting features and how they sync with your music. Regarding your feedback on the bass, many users have found the ULT setting and the equalizer helpful for boosting low-end performance, as you mentioned. However, it's understandable that some listeners may prefer a deeper or more pronounced bass experience.
Please note that portable speakers like the SRS-ULT50 are designed to balance compact size, portability, and audio quality. While the ULT and equalizer settings maximize bass output for the product's size, there may be some natural limitations compared to larger or dedicated subwoofer systems. For an even fuller bass response, you might consider experimenting with different placement options, such as positioning the speaker near a wall or in a corner, as these locations can help reinforce low-frequency sounds.
Your feedback is valuable, and we will share your comments with our product team to help inform future enhancements. If you have any further questions or would like more tips on getting the most from your SRS-ULT50, please let us know.
Thanks for choosing Sony!

Posted .Hi Jonatan,
We're really sorry to hear that the ULT FIELD 5 isn't as loud as you expected.
To help boost the sound, try placing the speaker near a wall or in a corner, this can make the music feel bigger and louder. Also, please double check that the volume is turned all the way up on both your speaker and your phone or music device.
If you're using the Sony | Sound Connect app, we recommend opening it and checking the sound settings. Sometimes, features like the equalizer or sound modes can make a big difference in how loud and clear your music sounds.
For more detailed information, please refer to the following resource.

Posted .Hi Lansingshopper,
We appreciate you sharing your experience, even though the ULT FIELD 5 ultimately wasn't the right fit due to its size. We understand that finding the perfect dimensions for your space is essential. If you are still looking for a portable speaker with powerful sound, you might find a better fit in the smaller ULT FIELD 1 model.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Sound to resonate through a FIELD
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony ULT FIELD 5 portable speaker is just that - a portal speaker that could very well play music for a small field. Or beach, pool, mountain etc. The speaker is IP67 rated. The ULT Field 5 is a small/compact speaker that carries a large punch, especially the bass, which is the pride/focus of the ULT series. The speaker comes in a box not much larger than itself; weighing about half the weight of the box (I know that is a weird comment, but the box w/speaker is quite heavy). The box packing is about half the weight, so do not be too concerned while picking it up. The speaker is a little heavier than I expected, but that must simply come down to the hardware without the speaker as the sound is robust. Out of the box, set up is quick - download the app (if you want), power on the speaker, connect to Bluetooth and good to go. The sound intensity is quite robust, with my wife not letting me increase the sound past halfway while in the house as the bass is present and sound is loud and crisp. Overall the quality of audio is fantastic, especially for a speaker this size - with the ULT experience. ULT is a power sound feature designed by Sony with specific sound modes designed to enhance the bass of music. ULT1 enhancing deep, low-frequency bass while ULT2 gives powerful, punchy bass. I prefer ULT1. There is also an option to turn it off. These modes can be toggled quickly on the speaker itself with the button. While mentioning buttons, the major/only design flaw in my opinion. There is power, Bluetooth, connect (between devices), play/pause, volume up/down and ULT buttons. No skip button, seems like a minor detail that was overlooked when experiencing a speaker. Easy to get over, but just lacking. The lighting aspect is described as party light - which I think if one has multiple ULT speakers that are connected through the connect feature then yes, this would provide a party light experience; however, the speaker on it's own is more an ambient lighting to the rhythm of the music (if chosen). I enjoy the lighting, I would not like a speaker without it, it's just worth noting that this unit on its own is not necessarily illuminating but rather ambiance. There is a shoulder strap (along w/retractable hooks) included to allow for easy portability of the speaker. Once again, slightly heavier than I expected for size, but glad it has this weight because the hardware is worth it. All in all, the ULT FIELD 5 is a great portable speaker, that stands alone well. Regarding a party experience, I am ensured (by Sony) that it would connect well with other ULT devices and play a great role in adding to the ULT party experience. Oh, also can get about a day worth of charge for the device which is ideal for travel/enjoyment. There is also a audio in that can be used with the ULT microphones (or other) for a karaoke moment, which is next level fun. This is a great sound upgrade to my last Sony speaker, about 3-years old now.

Posted .Hello SandraW,
Thank you for considering Sony products.
We apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing with your Sony SRS-ULT50 speaker shutting off too often without you turning it off. This issue is most likely caused by the built-in Automatic Power Off (Auto Standby) feature, which is designed to save power.
To resolve this, we recommend disabling the Automatic Power Off function by following these steps:
1. With the speaker turned on, press and hold the (play) button and the CONNECT button simultaneously for about 5 seconds.
2. When the Automatic Power Off function is successfully turned off, the power indicator on the speaker will flash 3 times in orange.
For detailed instructions, you can also check the official guide here:

We want to get this resolved for you! If the problem continues, the best next step is to contact our dedicated support team for advanced troubleshooting.

Overpriced

Posted .Thank you for your feedback, Dutch.
We’re glad you like the speaker, but we’re sorry to hear the sound and interface haven't been quite right for you. To get the best audio performance at high volumes, we recommend using the Sony | Music Center app to customize the EQ settings to your environment. We also appreciate your comments on the mode alerts and design; we're always looking for ways to refine our products. If you need help with settings, please reach out at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=car

Posted .Hello MonkeyDLuffy,
We're glad to hear how impressed you are with the ULT FIELD 5's loudness, and we appreciate your honest feedback regarding the bass performance at higher volumes.
Your observation is helpful, as it highlights a key aspect of how portable speakers are engineered. At higher volumes, the speaker's audio processing dynamically adjusts to ensure the sound remains clear and free of distortion, and to protect the drivers from being overdriven—This can sometimes result in a change to the bass response.
For an even more powerful bass experience, we recommend trying the ULT POWER SOUND modes. Pressing the ULT button on the speaker can cycle between ULT1 for deeper bass and ULT2 for powerful, high-pressure sound.
We take all feedback seriously, and we'll be sure to share your comments with our engineering team as we continue to develop and refine our products. If you have any question regarding your speaker, you can always contact our Sony support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht
Thank you for choosing Sony.

Very Robust Smaller Party Speaker, Sounds Great
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Party Speaker That is small enough to sit on a table, but big on sound. The lighting was easy to use and works well with the music synch. This speaker charges relatively fast AND you can use the USB-C port on it to charge compatible microphones amongst other things. This worked great with ULT Microphones. The ULT model worked well to pair with other ULT 5 compatible speakers, just hold the button on them to synch them up, easy party setup. Also used this as a monitor speaker nearby when doing music and microphones for a party, helped to clearly hear the microphone users when the main speakers were facing away. The sound is very good, goes up quite a bit in volume and only starts to distort a bit at the very high end. The Bass is also very good for a smaller footprint speaker. The battery lasts quite a long time, and can charge phones in addition to the ULT microphones mentioned above. Very good build quality. I would suggest this for a tailgate or smaller outdoor party, a small to medium gathering in a mid sized room.
