- Pleasant sound with ULT boost
- clever loop system
- good app
- Meagre equipment
- Quite short battery life
Sony wants to offer the ultimate in good sound with the ULT Field 1. It succeeds - with some compromises. However, the sound boost with the ULT button is mandatory, otherwise the speaker sounds nasal and thin. The battery life of less than eight hours is rather poor. Sony has also dispensed with amenities such as a power bank function or additional functions.
In the speaker test, the best Bluetooth and WiFi devices score highly with their rich sound and ease of use. However, only a few offer this complete package. Natural sounding bass, clearly audible details and balanced, lively sound - this is what the perfect speaker should sound like...

The Field 1 delivers solid sound for such a small enclosure. Only the bass and features are lacking.

- Robust design with IP67 protection
- Good sound with ULT function activated
- Simple operation
- Sound without ULT function less convincing
- App with few functions
The Sony Ult Field 1 is a solid all-rounder among compact Bluetooth speakers. Its robust design with IP67 protection makes it a reliable companion for outdoor activities. In terms of sound, it is particularly impressive with the Ult function activated, which adds significantly more life to the sound...
- Good sound for the size
- Law compact
- Water and dust protection
- Super Bluetooth range
- Sounded "only" solid in the end
- Battery life okay, but mediocre
