Sony ULT Field 1 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Enhanced Bass, 12h Battery, IP67 Rated Dustproof Shockproof Rustproof, Detachable Strap (SRSULT10B), Black

Love this speaker! It was perfect for the money. I got it on prime day, so happy I did, it works well. Nice and loud, love the colors on the sides as they go the music. Bluetooth connects easily and battery life is great. Fit, well it’s not small and is a little heavy but so worth the purchase!

As an avid golfer, I’ve been on the hunt for a speaker that’s rugged, compact, and delivers solid sound without being a distraction—and the Sony ULT Field 1 absolutely nails it.Clear, Punchy Sound That CarriesI’ve used this speaker on several rounds now, and it sounds incredible out on the course. Even with a bit of wind or ambient noise, the audio is crisp and full. The bass is impressive for the size, especially with the ULT button on—it gives my playlists that extra thump without overpowering the fairway.Just the Right VolumeIt gets plenty loud for our foursome to enjoy, but it’s easy to keep at a respectful level for other golfers nearby. A nice balance of power and control.Built for the ElementsMorning dew, dusty carts, the occasional drop—this speaker handles it all. The IP67 rating means I never worry about water or dirt. It’s been in my golf bag, clipped to my cart, and even survived a quick rain shower.Battery LifeOne charge easily lasts through 18 holes—and then some. I’ve used it for full rounds plus some range time without needing to recharge. If you forget to plug it in the night before, you're still good to go.Quick Bluetooth SetupBluetooth 5.3 means it pairs fast and stays connected. I just turn it on when I get to the first tee, and it reconnects instantly to my phone. No hassle, no fiddling.If you're looking for a speaker to bring onto the golf course, I can't recommend the Sony ULT Field 1 enough. It’s loud without being obnoxious, rugged enough for real outdoor use, and stylish to boot. Easily one of the best gear upgrades I’ve made this season.Would absolutely recommend to fellow golfers who enjoy a little soundtrack to their swing.

This is an amazing speaker, truly top notch in sound and build quality. It feels heavy, connects quickly as most SONY products do, there's no detail forgotten when it comes to features, yet its simplistic enough to not be overwhelming with options, and the straps to carry around the speaker are not an after thought. All around, a solid speaker that I feel is worth the price I paid (at the time $198, maybe not $350 but definitely $198) With that being said, it is NOT portable, at least for me. It gets heavy pretty quickly if you lug it around, even with the crossbody strap. If you're ok with being unable to grab the speaker and shove it into a bag or suitcase then I would opt for the smaller options for sure. If you frequent outdoor events enough to want a speaker of this physical caliber, or plan on using it as TV sound bar or static speaker system, then I would highly recommend.Over all, solid speaker, emphasis on the SOLID part of the speaker, it feels high quality and over engineered for heavy duty adventure and performance, it is just a big ass speaker that I personally wasn't ready for. I will unfortunately and begrudgingly have to return it, but if I could keep it I would.

I think its fine for the sound quality you get- Need the app to use and disable some functions---------------------==============List of use:- Outdoor family time; bbq, sports, pool etc.- Inside if I don't want to turn on the home theater system or working out in the basement- In the garage when I am working on my car---------------------IN THE BOX:- Type C Charging Cable- Speaker- Carrying Strap==============Review:Alright so before reviewing, I actually bought this to replace a week old Ultimate Ears Megaboom 4. I kept the Ultimate Ears but if I had known that they were a Logitech Brand I would have never bought them. Logitech drivers aren't that great imo. Also I want to say I bought the Sony Ult 5 on sale at $250 which is a complete steal. $50 extra more than the Ultimate Ears but they sound a lot better and also get way louder at lower volumes while keeping clarity. The only thing the Ultimate Ears have better are the mids and I will say that they produce them very well out of the box but once you EQ the Sony's, they will be better overall.Enough comparisons, the Sony Ult Field 5 is a small to medium size Bluetooth speaker that is very capable of providing music for a whole backyard and annoying your neighbors (perfect!). I listen to them at about over half volume and they are very loud with great clarity. Out of the box they sound good but go through the 3 settings and see what works for you. The 3 "sound" settings can be selected by pressing the big ULT button or doing it in the app I suggest the app since the button will play this loud blasting noise when pressed. First setting (no lights on button) I think is a flat EQ, second setting is for more bass (sounds bad imo), third setting is the best if you don't want to EQ the speaker yourself, I think it just boosts everything up but its too much bass so I ended up EQing it myself in the app with the custom EQ option. My EQ settings are 0002234433 and I listen to EDM and Rock - Metal stuff and that seems to be the best for me. The speaker is very well built and has some weight to it so use that carrying strap. The carrying strap is kind of cool as it can extend to be a shoulder sling or shortened to like a small bag handle and to put them in just pull up the rubber covers and hook the strap into the loop. Battery life is pretty great, I seem to charge them like maybe 2 or 3 times a month depending on usage. My usage is anywhere from either an hour a day or if its outdoor then it could be hours on endless playback and still not need a charge. Charging is really fast too. I am not sure of the actual time but it feels like an hour or 2 for full charge but I do have a really nice charging block so that affects things a little bit. Also I am not sure when Sony finally allowed it but you can use it while its being charged unlike past speakers. Physical buttons include power, bluetooth, connect to other sony speakers, play/pause, volume, and ULT and also an AUX input behind the small back cover, yes an AUX input!!! You will need the app to access more settings of the speaker and it is worth downloading. I can't say much about the connect feature where you connect to other speakers but I would assume it is awesome and better to piss the neighbors off but at that point you might as well build a nice budget portable stereo system. All in all the Sony ULT Field 5 is worth it at $250 for being a bluetooth speaker. Anything around the $200 mark will not sound as good or produce the same stage presence as the ULT Field 5s. 4/5 product and will definitely recommend for anyone who wants a good bluetooth speaker.---------------------
