Sony ULT Field 1 review: Powerful sound for outdoor fun

Solid sound, highly portable.

(Image credit: Tshaka Armstrong)Let’s establish something from the start: this isn’t a party speaker for your country barn summer soiree or sunset beach bonfire. The only issue I found with the sound output from the Field 1 was that when you turn the volume up to its max and play a track with a really heavy bottom end, like Skrillex's “Mumbai Place,” I ran into a decent amount of distortion. Couple that with an IP67 rating for water and dust ingress, solid battery life, and a small footprint with good sound output, and you have a speaker well worth considering for your summer outdoor shenanigans.
