      Hello MiguelC, thank you for your 4-star review!

      We're delighted to hear you're enjoying the "amazing sound" and impressive loudness of your ULT FIELD 5 speaker.

      We appreciate your feedback regarding the bass depth. The ULT FIELD 5 is designed to deliver powerful, impactful bass, especially with its ULT POWER SOUND modes which can be activated to provide a deeper, more resonant low end–we encourage you to experiment with these modes (ULT1 for deep bass, ULT2 for more punchy bass) to find the sound profile that best suits your preferences.

      May you have any question or require personalized assistance, you can contact our support at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht

      Thanks for choosing Sony!

      Hi GregD,

      We are sorry to hear that your Sony ULT FIELD 5 isn't holding a charge as expected. With its high-capacity battery, you should be getting significantly more than an hour of use. To help resolve this, we recommend trying the following steps:

      1. Update the Software:
      Ensure your speaker is running the latest firmware. You can do this by downloading and using the Sony Sound Connect app on your smartphone. Software updates often include battery management optimizations.

      2. Perform a Factory Reset:
      Sometimes a quick reset can fix power calibration issues.

      While the speaker is turned on, press and hold the (play) button and the ULT button simultaneously.

      Keep holding them until the speaker turns off (this usually takes 5 seconds or more).

      Once it turns off, turn it back on and try a full charge cycle.

      If the battery continues to drain rapidly after the update and reset, it may require a more technical look. Please reach out to our dedicated support team here:

    Decent speaker. Very pretty with the lights that go with the beat. I wish the BASS was a little deeper. The ULT setting helps and played with Equalizer but still missing a little more thump I think.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the SRS-ULT50, Prolifik. We're glad to hear you appreciate the speaker's lighting features and how they sync with your music. Regarding your feedback on the bass, many users have found the ULT setting and the equalizer helpful for boosting low-end performance, as you mentioned. However, it's understandable that some listeners may prefer a deeper or more pronounced bass experience.

      Please note that portable speakers like the SRS-ULT50 are designed to balance compact size, portability, and audio quality. While the ULT and equalizer settings maximize bass output for the product's size, there may be some natural limitations compared to larger or dedicated subwoofer systems. For an even fuller bass response, you might consider experimenting with different placement options, such as positioning the speaker near a wall or in a corner, as these locations can help reinforce low-frequency sounds.

      Your feedback is valuable, and we will share your comments with our product team to help inform future enhancements. If you have any further questions or would like more tips on getting the most from your SRS-ULT50, please let us know.

      Thanks for choosing Sony!
