      Hi EstherS,
      Thanks for sharing your feedback! We’re so glad you’re enjoying your new portable speaker. It is truly wonderful to know that you are finding the sound so powerful for its size.

      The SRS-ULT50 features our unique ULT Button, which boosts your bass and increases sound pressure with a single touch. It is built to be IP67 waterproof and dustproof, so you can take it to the beach or pool without worry.

      We're glad you chose Sony!

    Got this speaker on sale for $240. And for the price its amazing. The light show is cool and having LDAC is a plus too. Battery life last for a good while. I usually keep fhe speaker on ULT 2 which is the best sound. This speaker on sale is a steal!!! Normal price is justifiable. You won't regret purchasing.

    First time experiencing the new versions of ULT’s from Sony, snd i will say worth he money especially if they are on sale…. I would even say they’re better than the JBL editions…. Don't get me wrong i love JBL’s but if you want try something new and different, dont look else where but at Sony ULT’s family speakers

    Disappointed purchase

    I bought this product for my wife for Christmas. It sounded great in the store and had good clarity for the sound. Due to illnesses we had a late January Christmas when she opened the gift. She liked it but felt the sound was not as good as her JBL flip and thought a JBL equivalent sized one would be better. We returned it to Best buy and they reimbursed me for the product. While I was completing this my wife went to look at the JBL. She then tried the Sony Ult in the store and said it really had good sound, better than the JBL. I realized I did not press the button on the unit that gives it the deeper sound when she tried it at home. She said lets just keep the Sony Ult. When I asked the best buy associate if we could just cancel the transaction he said if it hasn't been more than ten minutes. Unfortunately when checking he said it was 15 minutes since the transaction was completed and could not let me have the unit I returned. The difference in rebuying a new one versus the one I bought on sale before Christmas was substantially more. Two hundred dollars verses three hundred eighty nine dollars. I was disappointed best buy would not work with me and cancel the return transaction. We passed on purchasing another due to the cost differance.

    Enjoyed its ability to expand my walkman for an entire room and as background music while running typical errands such as cleaning mail, laundry (ironing and putting clothes away) or a job that foes not require listening, such as responding to emails, deliver reports or any I.T job that only requires typing. Background soundtracks and classical symphonies are usually not distracting.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This ULT FIELD 5 Wireless Speaker is wonderful. It's incredibly loud when played indoors. We only need one for our 1,300+ sq. ft. first floor. However, it's not as loud in the car. We've taken it a few times to listen to music while out and about, and it's significantly quieter in the car, which is not a bad thing. It says it can adjust based on the environment, and I won't argue with that. The strap is very thick and seems well-made. I love the colors; they really add to the vibe. It's just great. The battery does not last as long as advertised; maybe 6 hours without the lights and at 60% volume. I bring a charger and a battery pack for outings. Overall, it was worth the money I spent, as we enjoy this speaker.
