Highlights Rich, immersive sound with front-facing tweeter, woofer, and passive bass radiators. Durable and portable design with IP67 rating for water and dust resistance. Long battery life up to 16 hours with quick charge functionality. Easy customization with the Sony Music Center app, though limited in-depth options. I guess there's a reason to celebrate audiophiles: Sony has just launched a new line of products with names that are easy to remember. Sony ULT Power Sound series is around giving you powerful bass. The new line sports three speakers and a pair of headphones, diversifications of Sony's Extra Bass and XE-Series lines. One of these new speakers is the ULT Field 1, which is a tiny portable speaker that will cost Rs 16,990—almost as much as some top-end JBL models. Let's go in deep and find out what the ULT Field 1 has in this review. Pros and Cons Pros Cons Rich, immersive sound Limited app customization Robust and durable design Larger than some competitors Long battery life Basic design options Key Specs Key Specs Wireless Speakers Bluetooth 5.3 20 Hz - 20 kHz Frequency Response Amplifier Subwoofer Microphone 1 year Brand Warranty IP67 Water and Dust Resistant Unboxing Experience The Sony ULT Field 1 looked great right after unboxing. The packaging was very sleek and premium-designed. Inside the package, the speaker was well secured and packaged together with a USB Type-C charging cable and a user manual. Simple unboxing offered access to each element in an obvious and easy way. Build and Design Rich, immersive sound with front-facing tweeter, woofer, and passive bass radiators. The ULT Field 1 has somewhat of a small footprint, which means it is very portable and is great for outside use. Its design is wrapped in a hip, sturdy body with a premium feel. The speaker is slightly larger than the JBL Flip 6 but offers fewer color options. It is 2.7 by 7.6 by 2.8 inches and barely heavier at 1.4 pounds. The speaker is oblong and lined with fabric, narrowing towards the middle, like the costlier Sony SRS-XG300. The ends are then protected with a coating of silicone. The tweeter and woofer are front-firing into a 15-degree angle for mono audio; passive bass radiators are located at each end for full-spectrum sound reinforcement. It includes a rugged strap for carrying or hanging that's in a bootlace style. Durable and portable design with IP67 rating for water and dust resistance The ULT Field 1 can be set up in either vertical or horizontal orientation. Its body form is a standard rectangle, quite different from the XE200 in terms of design. The bungee strap is adjustable, although one has to be a bit more patient with the fit. The controls for power, Bluetooth, play/pause/call, volume, and ULT are easy to navigate. Sony has its Music Center app, facilitating an adjustable equalizer, with not many options, of course. It's an IP67-rated device as well; hence, it is waterproof, dustproof, rustproof, and shockproof. Sound Quality, Features and Battery Easy customization with the Sony Music Center app, though limited in-depth options. The Sony ULT Field 1 provides great sound quality, especially for a portable speaker. The woofer has been designed and placed front-firing, while the speakers are forward-firing, resulting in passive radiators at both ends—bestowing rich, room-filling sound. Listening to the track "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd, the speaker implemented very strong sound staging; the guitar solos and atmospheric sounds resonated with brilliant highs and detailed mids. "Come Together" by The Beatles had deep and resonant bass without covering the rest of the audio spectrum; the bass lines were punchy and filled the soundscape completely. Using the Sony Music Center app made customizing sounds to my personal enjoyment easy. The user interface of the app is straightforward, and I found it easy to manage almost everything I want from the speaker. Sound Quality, Features and Battery The onboard equalizer was a tad finicky to adjust the sound profile, but when once set, it really gives a personalized experience. Streaming music from Tidal and Spotify was easy, with the app providing fast, easy access. The Sony app isn't as granular as others, like the JBL One App I mentioned, but it gives you access to the essentials. It doesn't have that level of premium finish and intuitiveness as app designers that some competitors have, but pass the Music Center app it did for most standard-level adjustments and searching for settings all around. One of them has to be the eXtra Bass technology, which really beefs up an already bass-heavy track. While listening to Pink Floyd's \"Money,\" the bass was powerful and punchy, yet the mids and highs were not at all distorted, even at higher volumes. It is quite balanced, and thus, every genre of music, right from classic rock through modern pop, is handled well by ULT Field 1. Final Verdict Final Verdict The Sony ULT Field 1 is a very good portable speaker that actually encompasses a very robust build quality, amazing sound performance, and amazing practical features. At a price of Rs16,990, the Sony ULT Field 1 is really a good deal with heavy bass, balanced mids, and crisp highs. The claim to outdoor use is backed by the durability of an IP67 rating. The Sony Music Center app is less robust than those of some other companies but still gives you the basics as well as the ability to play with settings. Its portability, ease of connection, and long battery life all rank it high for music lovers who want tunes working for them while on the move. The ULT Field 1 is a speaker fit for everyone and serves as an extremely reliable and high-quality portable speaker. 5 Reasons to Buy 5 Reasons to Buy Powerful and Rich Sound: Equipped with front-facing tweeter, woofer, and passive bass radiators for a full-bodied audio experience.
