    Ive been a huge fan of the bigger sony speakers for years now and love to take them wherever i go but they are heavy and take up space. Now with field five i can bring that perfect sound quality wherever i go with all the battery life i could possibly need.

    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,

    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.

    The sound is really good. I like a lot. But It’s pricey. For music is quite good. For TV kind of sack.IF you are using for party loud good bass and so on. Battery volume bigger wouldn’t last for 25h. Only last for about 8 to 9h. Low volume probably last 25h. I am not so sure about it.

      Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback, SimonW.

      We are truly pleased to hear that you "like a lot" the sound quality of your SRS-ULT50 speaker, especially its performance for music, the good bass, and the volume when using it for parties!

      We also appreciate your honest feedback on the price and the battery life at high volumes. We understand that hitting party-level volume will significantly reduce runtime. While the 25-hour spec is measured under specific, lower-power conditions (volume at half, features off), your real-world experience of 8-9 hours when pushing the speaker's limits is completely accurate and valuable information.

      We value your insight regarding its use for TV audio. We understand that maximizing sound performance for various content types is important, and your feedback will be passed along to our product teams for consideration in future designs.

      Thank you again for choosing Sony and for providing such valuable, real-world experience details.

Don't forget to try hitting that ULT button when you really want to feel the bass move the room.

    The sound quality is crisp and clear whether you're playing vocals, acoustic tracks, or anything detail-heavy, everything comes through clean and well defined. What really stands out though is the bass. Hit that ULT button and it kicks in deep and punchy without getting muddy or overwhelming the mids. Solid choice for mid range speaker

      Hi RichardmH,

      We are pleased to learn that your ULT FIELD 5 is delivering such a massive sound experience! Our goal with this model was to defy its portable size, so hearing that it performs like a much larger speaker is a fantastic compliment to our acoustic engineering. We are thrilled that the powerful bass tones and long-lasting battery are providing the high-energy performance you were looking for.

      That much larger sound comes from our X-Balanced Speaker Units, which feature a non-circular diaphragm. This unique shape increases sound pressure for deeper, punchier bass and clearer vocals without distortion, even at high volumes. When you combine that with the ULT button to boost your low-end frequencies, you get a cinematic, room-filling soundstage that remains crisp and vibrant for hours on end.

      Thank you for choosing Sony to bring the noise to your favorite spaces.

      Best regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

    Having gone thru lots of BT speakers the search if finally over. I have the previous version of this Sony Speaker and this ULT 5 is much better. Everything from low to mid to high to bass is there with nothing missing. It really sounds reference. It actually sounds better at low volume because that clarity is more pronounced.
