Testing the Sony Ult Field 1 speaker at a 15-person dinner party in a New York apartment revealed its surprising power. Despite the bustle of guests, the speaker filled the room with rich, vibrant audio and substantial bass, sounding like a far more expensive device. Its compact, forearm-length design is both waterproof and rustproof, making it a versatile companion for any event.
The speaker improves upon its predecessor with more balanced and powerful sound, performing equally well whether positioned vertically or horizontally. Connectivity is seamless, allowing for quick pairing and easy DJ swaps between phones. A dedicated ’ULT’ button on the device provides an instant boost to the bass, catering to those who want a more immersive audio experience.
While the battery life is a solid 12 hours, slightly less than the previous model, the trade-off is well worth it for the superior sound quality. The speaker’s build quality, combined with its clear, powerful audio output, makes it a standout choice for anyone needing reliable, high-quality sound for their social events.
