    Full Outdoor Sound

    The true might of a speaker isn't whether it fills a room, but whether it can broadly bathe a pool deck or outdoor patio with a depth of sound - and when the Field 5 is kept in the ULT1 and ULT2 Bass Boost modes, this speaker absolutely does it. The sound is exceptional, the end-cap bass woofers move the air, the highs and mids shine through, and the sheer (unexpected) weight of the unit means kids aren't going to knock it over or kick it into the pool. House, rock, pop, R&B - this speaker handles it all with ease without even having to go into the Sony app and messing with EQ settings. To me, "loud" isn't a measure of speaker performance, but a benefit if the core performance is there - the onboard amp performs great with little distortion and yes, the Field 5 is more than loud outdoors. The speaker is so heavy, and the width makes it hard to grab and handle, so while buyers may not think the included strap is necessary, it actually is and makes transporting the speaker a lot easier. I was going to buy the water "resistant" Marshall Killburn II (after owning two Marshall Stanmore's which are 10/10 amazing), but the water "proof" feature on the Field 5 was more important in my case. Overall, it's definitely worth the $267 (with tax).

    Speaker is amazing, I mainly use it for work and just to get through the day. Never really used it for parties but it is more than capable of having enough coverage for a small gathering of friends and family. If you wanna get something for bigger parties, I would go with the ult field 7 or higher. One bonus with Sony speakers if you a link multiple Sony speakers together and have it in stereo mode and they don’t even have to be the same model!! As for some down sides, if you’re looking for heavy bass, this is not the speaker u want. It’s got come kick to it but if you’re looking for heavy thumps, get a bigger speaker. Another downside is the speaker sounds best in ULT 2 mode and of course it drains the battery life. You ca get 20 hours but you’d have to take it off ULT mode entirely and turn off the lights and keep the volume low. Conclusion, I definitely recommend this speaker for a good jam while cleaning or small gathering or even work. It definitely gets very loud and you can’t go wrong with Sony. Just keep it plugged in and you won’t have any issues with dying battery! With that being said, I would snag this speaker on a deal if you could wait. $350 is a lot to ask for but you’re getting Sony reliability and performance. I got mine for around $200 on a sale and I am completely satisfied

      Hi Spaghet,

      We appreciate this thorough feedback on the ULT FIELD 5. We're glad it's "amazing" for your daily use and that you've discovered the Party Connect feature! We understand your point on the heavy bass; the ULT FIELD 7 is indeed the next step up for those looking for more powerful 'thumps.' Regarding the battery drain in ULT 2 mode, you can utilize the free Sony | Sound Connect app to create a custom 10-band EQ preset that boosts the bass less aggressively, which allows you to get an improved sound signature closer to ULT 2 while drawing less power and extending your battery life.

      Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards,

    The Sony Field 5 speaker delivers exceptional audio performance, characterized by remarkable sound clarity and powerful, impactful bass. Its versatile multiple sound settings are a significant asset, allowing users to optimize the audio output for various environments. Beyond its impressive sound, the Field 5 boasts excellent battery life, further enhanced by its ability to charge other devices while simultaneously playing audio. The accompanying mobile application significantly enhances the user experience, providing convenient remote control for power functions, an equalizer for personalized sound adjustments, and seamless connectivity with other compatible devices. For future iterations, I would suggest two key enhancements. Firstly, the ability to connect with speakers from other brands for a multi-speaker setup would greatly expand its versatility. Secondly, the availability of a dedicated protective cover would be a valuable addition, offering enhanced durability and peace of mind for users.

    Great speaker. Sounds good I can still hear it while I've been remodeling my house in all the rooms and I don't have the volume maxed because out it gets very loud. I like the strap that comes with it makes carrying it easier cause it does have some good weight to it.

    Awesome Somy Speaker with a custom 10 band EQ slider. This speaker has 2 different ULT modes you can access with the ULT Button. Press this button when you need an extra little “oomph” in your sound. Press it once more to get ULT mode 2 and watch your music really come to life! This speaker does not distort sound when listening to music at the highest sound volume. The included strap make portability easy with this speaker. You won’t want to stop listening to this speaker once you turn it on. Perfect for a living room or a BBQ in the back yard. The speaker also has LED lights that react to the beat of the music, with the Sony Sound Connect app you can customize this further to your liking. You won’t regret this speaker at all!

    [Employee of bestbuy] The Ult Field 5, has been an awesome speaker to have, great sound, good bass, not as good as its bigger brother the Ult Field 7, but still good enough for its size. Ult mode is nice to have at time if you want some extra bass, it does make it a little over exaggerated but if you want some extra power to the speaker it will do that for you. Battery life is pretty solid, along with the waterproofing the speaker has built in is good for people who want to take it to the beach or poolside. I didn't really care for the RGB lighting on the speaker itself but its not a bad thing if you like the aesthetic its just not for me.
