The verdict
Lacklustre companion app aside, the Sony ULT Field 1 makes for a decent on-the-go, lightweight but rugged adventure-ready portable speaker—but maybe skip the off-white finish.
✓Liked: Durable, Portable, Lightweight, IP67
✕Could be better: Mono sound, Lackluster companion app, White cloth finish gets dirty fast
Owners
How we verify ownersNobody who owns the Sony ULT Field 1 has written in yet.
Owner reviews are not paid for, not solicited from specific owners, and not rewritten by us: at most we proofread typos, which is shown on the review’s own page and which the author can undo. The commission SoundGuys may earn on this page comes from retail links, never from owner reviews.
