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

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.

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.

Awesome. Love them! Would purchase the TWO combined again. Great stereo sound with TWO Bluetooth'ed together. Battery life seems very good even with the enhanced sound button on. They connect effortlessly too. And are durable. Mine have fallen to a carpeted floor 3 TIMES because I placed them in precarious spots and their inherent bass caused them to move just a tiny bit enough to fall. Place them on a table top, etc. and no problems. This was my definite user error, instead of any kind of fault. I was looking for sound equal to, or better, than a 1982 Walkman I bought but never forgot. I definitely wasn't disappointed! These are by far, better sounding than 3 other name branded Bluetooth speakers I have purchased. And those, weren't cheap ones either! They possess a balanced sound profile with enough bass too. Clean sound across the entire spectrum! "Thrilling" really. Just don't expect them to sound like there's a dedicated subwoofer attached. But again, I find the bass response very pleasing. Super easy to grab as a pair and carry around too. Genuine "Grab and Go" anywhere! They'll accept either a "Normal / Standard" speed charger or a standard "Fast charger" too. They adapt. Just not something like "Super Fast" chargers. You need to not provide too much "voltage". With varying "amps", they only draw exactly what they need.I would rate these very highly. And would DEFINITELY purchase these TWO again. They will easily fill a large living room, and a good portion of an entire home.Volume is very good and clean even turned all the way up.No complaints here.----------------------------- * ADDITIONAL INFO I PROVIDED IN "AN ANSWER" TO A QUESTION, POSED ELSEWHERE. BUT, WELL WORTH READING I BELIEVE:I have TWO Ult Field 1's and run them in TRUE STEREO. They automatically connect, even just turning 1 of the 2 on, or BOTH at the same time, from within the appropriate app!If you notice, the Ult Field 1's are THE ONLY Ult Field in the full lineup of speakers which ACTUALLY DO STEREO. The other models ALL connect in "Party Mode" MONO.Now, here's where I think your issues arose. The Ult Field 1's MUST, FIRST-EVER be "stereo paired" in the Sony *Music Center* app, NOT the newer "Sound Connect" app. However, once Bluetooth stereo paired in the Sony "Music Center" app THE FIRST TIME, they'll THEN work fine in Sony's "Sound Connect" too.I found, I simply prefer using the "Sony Music Center" app BETTER, regardless! It seems to provide additional features for the Ult Field 1 over what's available in "Sound Connect".And AGAIN all this, really only applies to the STEREO SEPARATION which ONLY the "Ult Field 1 model" can provide."Party mode" may be LOUDER MONO, but never actually SEPARATES into 2 different channels for TRUE STEREO.I only know all this, partly because I read the instructions carefully, but also because I loved the Ult Field 1's STEREO PAIRED together so much, that I came back and was seriously looking into the larger versions offered.That was, until I found NONE of the larger speakers provide true stereo SEPARATION when paired and placed several feet apart.This is really because the larger models already separate into STEREO WITHIN *ONLY* THEIR OWN CASE, and NEVER actually do provide TRUE STEREO SEPARATION because it's already locked-in to their, each separate case.I'm keeping my Ult Field 1's because they're the only true way within the entire lineup, of achieving TRUE SEPARATION (of up to several / many distinct, feet apart)!It's one thing I believe "most buyers" aren't actually noticing about the entire lineup.I'm SURE the larger units provide better INDIVIDUAL sound, however when "paired" together they never truly form a separate-able stereo pair.They instead just make additional "volume" and "space-filling" sound in their "Party Mode" of up to many, multiple pairings.I wonder if you initially PAIRED in "Sound Connect" and haven't actually achieved TRUE STEREO SEPARATION yet!If not, DELETE all instances of the speakers existing within whatever apps, then re-Bluetooth pair within Sony *MUSIC CENTER* FIRST.Then, set your speakers several feet apart on separate sides of your head, and truly ENJOY!I'm keeping my little Ult Field 1 pair. Because they provide something special to make up for their otherwise tiny size: TRUE STEREO SEPARATION!(I sincerely hope I didn't mix up the TWO app names within this composition. If you wish to review your "original" instructions, but otherwise threw them away, they can be re-downloaded from Sony's website, of course.)
