Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to connect, great strap connections and water protective covers for everything feel really secure. I normally don't buy white electronics but this one is fine and I'll be less likely to run into it when I take it camping. It gets really loud but with super good sound!

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

Found this speaker on sale. Has great bass and great sound. Bass is clear and not overpowering or muddy. It's a good size and has a great battery life. I would definitely pick one up if it's on sale!

Love the strap that comes with it to throw over your shoulder. It lasts a very long time off of one charge, doesn't skip or waver on sound quality. Best portable speaker I've owned to date! No cons as of yet! Sound is crisp and bass is perfect.

This speaker is absolutely wonderful. It can be used in both small places and even large gyms and spaces. It has extraordinary sound and even multicolored lights. My only warning to others is that it is pretty heavy compared to other small speakers that I have had and I usually have other equipment. I’m carrying with it, it definitely is better than a giant Speaker so it carries the same function so that is wonderful but if you are carrying it on a daily basis to and from classes or events it just is a little heavy. I also tried many of the other lighter ones and they do not carry the same volume. Newer cover the same square footage for sound as this speaker. Oh also the battery life is pretty amazing. I haven’t seen it ever get close, but it has 25 or so hours of playtime depending on what you’re doing with it.

Size is great, bigger than the average small carry in your hand speakers like the beats pill. But not overly huge like a boombox stereo thats inconvenient to lug around. Sound quality is very good even at the highest level. RGB lights look good but can be turned off to save battery life. Battery last substantially long, should cover the event time, or if you take it to the beach or camping, it should last the length that you require, specially if you turn off the light feature. Connects with bluetooth(i didnt see lag between the audio and the picture) or with a regular aux 3.5mm jack cord. Wonder speaker worth the price for sure.

Sony ULT Field 5 Bluetooth Speaker – Quick Review The Sony ULT Field 5 packs serious bass and bold sound, especially in ULT 2 mode, making it great for outdoor parties and casual listening. While it may not offer the most refined audio compared to higher-end speakers, it delivers a fun, bass-heavy experience that suits its purpose well—especially when on sale. With features like a 360° Party Light, Party Connect (link up to 100 speakers), IP67 waterproof rating, and up to 25-hour battery life, it’s built for portability and fun. The sound is punchy, though some may find the EQ limitations on ULT modes and its weight a downside. If you’re after pristine audio fidelity, there are better-sounding speakers out there. But for what the ULT Field 5 is meant to do—loud, rugged, portable fun—it’s a solid choice at the right price.

[PROS] Gets Loud: A portable speaker this size needs to get loud, and the ULT FIELD 5 definitely does that. I've found myself using the massive speaker on the outside patio and in the homes of friends. It gets the job done in making sure everyone can hear everything. Considerate Design: The speaker is large as intended, but very portable because of the included strap. It includes the basic ports, but the USB C port can also charge other devices as well. Furthermore, there's a shield protecting the inputs and buttons which comes in handy for places like the beach or park. Finally, the IP67 adds to the durability for dust and rain (although I'm highly unlikely to keep the party going if it starts to pour). Easy of Use: Everything that I desire to accomplish with this speaker is pretty straightforward. I was able to tweak EQ settings, adjust lighting effects, and update firmware without any hiccups. The Sony Sound Connect app is lightweight and simple to use. [CONS] Flat Sound Profile (Out of the box): My biggest critique of this device is that I feel like EQ adjustments are necessary. This doesn't apply to all genres. However, the bass is dependent on the ULT modes, specifically ULT 2. Otherwise, the speaker is not as punchy. In my opinion, the ULT modes make everything sound better so I usually just default to using it instead of fiddling with settings. [CONCLUSION] The ULT FIELD 5 is a well rounded speaker for my needs. It's loud, entertaining, portable, and pleasant to use. It's become a party favorite in my household, and I look forward to much more future usage out of it.

It sounds really good and the bass on it actually decent for its size, has 3 different sound modes. Like that you can turn off the lights or have them on. Also has a battery care mode which is also very nice.

The Sony ULT FIELD 5 Wireless Speaker sounds amazing with very strong bass and clear audio. The battery lasts a long time, and the lights give it a cool look during music sessions. It connects quickly with Bluetooth and is easy to carry around. The speaker gets very loud without losing sound quality, which makes it great for parties, hanging out with friends, or everyday use. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful portable speaker.

Love how this speaker can fill out a floor of a home, and the light show is a great touch. Been really liking it so far, plus it's portable which is a nice plus. The music, youtube, podcasts have been really clear, bass is reasonable, and for the price (at a discount), it's hard to beat. Highly recommend.

Looking for a new Bluetooth speaker with good bass sound. I have owned UE Wonderboom 3 for a long while. Thought I was going to be purchasing a JBL until I heard this Sony speaker on display. It sounded way better than JBL. The Sony sound was clear and there are two bass boosts modes to choose from. I listen to both heavy metal and rap music. Glad I chose the Sony, great sound and awesome battery life. It is on the heavy side and there are not many choices for a travel case since it was just released recently.

Overall great speaker with clear mids and high supplemented by lots of base. Battery does seem to last long and sound is not depreciated at high levels like some other speakers to conserve battery. I connected it to my Sony Ult Field 7 and worked flawlessly. Overall a 5 star rating on this speaker in my review.

Listened to similar products in the category and the Sony ULT Field 5 just sounds better. Inside in shines. My daughter has a bedroom in the basement and when I'm jamming upstairs I frequently get a phone call to please turn it down, the bass is hurting my head! Darn teenagers don't know what it's like to Par-tay! I should be telling her to turn in down. Sony has a 7 band equalizer, but the ULT 2 setting is all you will ever need. The speaker has a great balanced sound with an emphasized bass on setting ULT 2. The speaker also works great outside in small groups and around a pool with a pump running. If you are looking for a speaker for a block party I would suggest moving up to the ULT field 7. If you are looking for a great speaker that can be turned up pretty loud with great sound and portability the ULT Field 5 is the way to go.

We had been Bose fans for years, but this Sony offered much better sound for the comparative dollar. It was also on a big sale and was a terrific value. We almost went back and bought a second one. Very good sound quality and bass from a portable speaker.

Is small enough that its not too heavy and bulky to carry. The sound quality is good. I like the lights on it. Bought it for my daughters graduation party. Overall I'm happy with it.

Alright, so first off—this thing is huge. I wasn’t expecting the Sony ULT FIELD 5 to be the size of a loaf of Texas sized bread. Not a bad thing, just caught me off guard having ordered sight unseen. It’s got a little weight to it too, but nothing crazy. Feels solid and tough, like it can take a few bumps without worry. Definitely built for the outdoors. I went with the white one since I plan to use it mostly by the pool. Looks sharp and clean, but if you’re taking it to the lake or beach, I’d probably lean toward the black version. The fabric seems like it’ll clean off okay, but I wouldn’t be shocked if it picked up some stains over time. Getting it set up was easy. Just powered it on, paired through Bluetooth, and I was good to go. But if you want to really mess with the settings, you’ll want the Sony Sound Connect app. There’s an update right away, and then all sorts of stuff opens up—most of which I’ll probably never use (DJ mode? Nah). What I did like was messing with the party light colors. The controls for that are kinda buried in weird spots in the app, but once you find 'em, it’s cool. I’m not big on all the flashy color changing stuff, but I found a mellow setting where you can just pick one color and it pulses with the music. Pretty slick. Now, the sound? It’s absolutely killer. I listen to a lot of stuff that isn’t real bass-heavy, and it still blew me away. I had Gary Louris crooning at full blast, and it was crystal clear. That ULT button mode gives the sound a nice punch to it without things getting muddy. Originally, I figured I’d use it outside or maybe in the garage, but I ended up bringing it inside and plugging it into my gym setup with a 3.5mm Airplay adapter. The AUX-in worked great, though there’s a slight delay when trying to sync it with other speakers over my home network. Would’ve been nice if Sony built in some kind of WiFi or AirPlay support. At this price, it’s definitely nice enough to use indoors, and I just wish the integration was a little better. One thing I really appreciate is being able to charge my iPhone right off the speaker with USB-C. Super handy, especially outside when you don’t wanna burn through your phone battery streaming music. Bottom line? This thing rocks. It sounds amazing, looks sharp, and feels like it can go just about anywhere. The lack of networking is the only real miss for me, but otherwise, I’m seriously impressed. Gonna be using this a ton this summer.

The battery life on this thing is great, the sound is perfect for when I’m outside in the pool. I even left this thing out in the rain by accident and it didn’t even miss a beat!! Super impressed!!

Picked this up for a price I had to read multiple times to confirm. Great price (at least at the time of purchase). Loud, clear sound. Deep bass. Lights are a nice touch. The strap helps with portability, as this thing is a mini beast. Really happy with my purchase.

Great sound, really fills the room. Super easy to connect to my iPhone. Purchased on sale and with some reward certificates. So it was about $150 for the purchase. Wouldn’t pay $349 for this it Bose(because someone is going to say Bose is better-I like Sony products). If you can get it while it’s on sale for $198 (or less). Then I definitely recommend this speaker. As far as the battery life, I haven’t had it long enough to comment. I am going to give a 5 below just because I didn’t have to charge it out of the box…it was already at 60%.
