    I was blown away with the sound of the Sony ult field 5 speaker, and the bass its fenomenal. Now I bring this speaker whatever place I go on vacation. Its a little heavy, but the strap makes it easy to carry.

      Hi Boss,

      We're elated to hear that the Sony - ULT FIELD 5 has blown you away. It's great to know that you're enjoying the phenomenal bass and powerful sound. That's exactly what we aimed for with the ULT series! We're also glad that the included strap makes it easy for you to take your music with you wherever you go, despite the speaker's weight.

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Full Outdoor Sound

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

    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).

    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.

    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!

    This speaker is the clearest sounding speaker ive ever bought!!!! Battery life is great for about 9 to 10 hours depending on if Ult mode is being used and the lights are on. You'll get 6 hours on full party mode with bass enhanced mode on. You gonna feel the bass in your soul when this goes off. This speakers bass and clairty is better then almost every other speaker ive heard at a better price. Has built in aux cord reverse charging and can link up to 100 sony speakers via bluetooth.

    I’m really impressed with the Sony ULT FIELD 5 wireless speaker. The sound quality is powerful and clear, especially the bass—it’s deep and punchy without being overwhelming. The speaker feels solid and well-built, perfect for outdoor use. I’ve used it at the beach and in the park, and it handled both like a champ. The battery life is also great—I can go all day without needing to recharge. Plus, the design is sleek and modern, and it’s super easy to pair with my phone. Definitely one of the best portable speakers I’ve owned

    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,

    This speaker is one of the best. I originally bought a sonos move 2 and the connectivity was a disaster. It would appear in the app then disappear then reappear then disconnect. Apparently its a longstanding issue with sonos and has leas to multiple executives being fired. Same yourself the hassle, get this speaker. Its so good. Crystal clear ar high volumes. Bass is natural and competes with jbl. My primary use is on a pool deck and it fills the area easily. It also easily connected to the outdoor tv via bluetooth. It works seamlessly and sound is grand. Watching a baseball game and you will feel like you are in the game. I’m a believer. Sony has delivered.

    Sound is much more than I had anticipated, especially compared to an old bluetooh speaker that I had been using. Fills the room and/or spreads sound through the backyard well. Looks great with the LED lighting. Seems that the bluetooth stays connected for a long distance, which is great so I can keep my phone in my pocket while not worrying about connecting to the speaker.
