The Sony Ult Field 1 pumps out surprisingly powerful audio for a speaker that costs less than you’d expect, and right now you can snag it for $30 off on Amazon.
My roommates and I are chronic party throwers; weeknight dinner parties, birthdays, anniversaries — heck, we even once threw an April Fools‘ Day party. We have everything needed for a successful party, except a good speaker — and that’s not without trying.
It’s a familiar scene: my roommate pulls out her old Bose speaker that requires a cord connection — unsurprisingly, it gets no mileage. We ask friends to bring their own speakers, but rarely do theirs win the battle against a crowded apartment of 20 to 30 people.
So, when I tested out Sony’s brand new Ult Field 1 speaker at our 15-person dinner party, I was half expecting the bustle of guests to overpower this portable speaker’s sound. Boy, was I wrong.
This speaker filled the room with rich audio that sounded like it was coming from a far more expensive device. In fact, this speaker exceeded my expectations in a few key ways. It’s easily become my summer party and beach day companion because of how impressed I am with the sound, build, and battery.
Sony is known for naming its devices like they’re airplanes: The Ult Field 1’s predecessor that shares the same price tag, for example, is the SRS-XE200.
