The Sony ULT Field 5 is a rugged and stylish speaker that pumps out party-ready sound with deep, punchy bass.

The Sony ULT Field is available for $330 in Off White and Black.
It offers a lively bass response and an enjoyable overall sound.
However, its exaggerated bass and limited EQ settings in some sound modes could make it unsuitable for some.
The Sony ULT Field 5 was launched in April alongside the ULT Field 3 and ULT Tower speakers. It joins the ULT Field 1 and ULT Field 7 in the growing ULT lineup of Sony’s bass-focused audio products. I didn’t like the ULT Wear headphones because the bass response sounded overly exaggerated. But after using the Sony ULT Field 5 on and off for the past few weeks, I think I can give the ULT range another chance.
The Sony ULT Field 5 offers a rugged build, extra bass, and improved overall audio clarity. I didn’t expect to enjoy carrying around a 3.3kg (7.2 lb) device, but this Sony speaker has grown on me. It is built for those who want more power than a typical portable speaker but don’t want to go for a big full-size party speaker. But there are a few things you should keep in mind before purchasing this product. The ULT Field 5 is rugged and functional — yet elegant
The Sony ULT Field 5 features a rugged design that might seem heavy on paper, but Sony includes an optional adjustable shoulder strap for portability that makes it easier to carry around. This is not one of those speakers you’d fit in a backpack. Instead, you can carry it like a cross-shoulder bag.
The Sony ULT Field 5 retains some design cues from its predecessor, the Sony SRS-XG300, including the LED lights. The lights are built into its dual passive radiators, which sit inside the plastic end cups.
