Sony is not messing around they added a tweeter are you serious I am so proud of Sony making a comeback starting to love Sony speakers again nice job Sony and thanks for the review really appreciate it
More like what took Sony so long. Sony was getting complacent with their small speakers, which were just average in the sound department. They had to add the tweeter bc JBl was beating Sony at the bt speaker game.
I pulled the trigger and got one while I was in Japan because I forgot my XB-23! I have the predecessor (it-that-not-be-named) but refuse to bring it anywhere because that one sounds like rubbish. BHA hit the nail on the head - that Xtra Euseless series is terrible! If you have a JBL Flip 6 or Charge, this is probably going to feel like the one speaker that might make you want to upgrade. It certainly sounds better than my JBL Flip 6 and competes with the Charge on power but is smaller than the latter. The only thing that might stop you from changing is the group pairing ability - I.e. "party mode" because if you and your friends are already in that ecosystem, that's one thing that this sony currently has a limit to.. So, the only thing that is somehow missing is the party connect feature.. it's a big miss, but if you aren't likely to need to pair it with the other party connect speakers anyway, then who cares? Most people think they need it but really won't actually use it. Plus, this speaker is plenty powerful on its own! Bottom line: this is probably the best small to mid size portable speaker in the market. Get it if you don't mind the limits to pairing with other speakers since it only currently works with other ULT 1s...
@Daddy_chebz I use it intensely and loud so it doesn't sound that good anymore and because I charge it almost everything night for years the battery is not that healthy anymore. But the ole girl still got some life in her
Sony XG300 is much bigger and better: more bass, fuller sound, stereo, and much more features like aux in, lights, party connect, live sound... at the currenty price you got much more value for money with the XG300. It is much heavier and bigger though, so if you want something small to take with you everywhere, the ult 1 is a fine companion with a better size/weight to sound ratio.
I own both, I received the ULT 1 yesterday and I can say both are pretty good. Of course the xg300 is more powerful, more specs but both sounds very well
Maybe. I still have an old SRS-XB30. To me, the bass is powerful by today’s standard, but it sounds muffled and dull in comparison to, for example, my JBL Charge 5, which is designed similarly to Sony’s new ULT Field 1. You’ll get far more clarity from the ULT Field 1, but much like newer JBL products it will still have mono sound unless you buy another ULT Field 1 and connect them together. XB30 was the JBL Charge 3 competitor, this is more like a competitor to something in between a Flip 6 and Charge 5.
The no mic is a big let down for me. I been runing the xb33 and xb13. The 33 on the handlebars of my Talaria MX4 the 13 clipped to my bag they sound great under 25mph not to loud but I was content with it. The 1 thing i did love though was the mic doing 50mph wearing a helmet people can hear me. Not sure if this is a deal breaker or not. I just got the clip 5 or 6(newest model) and the xb100 after my xb13 finally started to crackle thats after 2years playing at FULL volume rain and show cold and hot. The clip for sure projects more you hear them highs the xb100 has better bass but it wont connect at all to my xb33 not through the music center app or simply using my Samsung Android phones feature of allowing multiple speakers. So now im thinking charge 5 or this sony.. ill also miss the light from the 33 😢
@u2fkeys665 idk. I would assume the 1. The xb33 is awesome I put mine through hell and it's held up amazingly well and technically still runs hard just fine. But since I was having issues pairing the newest JBL clip with the Xb 33 they wouldn't sync up like the Sony 13&33 did. So I ended up buying the newest JBL charger. They are technically louder but I would phrase it ""clearer"" I mean it's absolutely crisp I'm cruising along at 50mph and I can hear every word said. But miss the bass 😞. But using 2 JBL speakers at the same time both being the absolute latest addition of their product line. They do sometimes have issues with syncing up. I can't get the clip and charge to pair in the JBL app at all 🤯 in the app they're supposed to be two features that allow you to run multiple speakers stereo and party mode neither one will allow me to pair the clip and the charge together. I use my android phones built in feature that allows it to pair to multiple speakers.
It's no longer in stereo, if you have two speakers in front of you the one without duel speakers in stereo is very!! Noticeable, you lose that immersive sound
Awesome video finally it’s explained, what is in the ULTRA field one thanks I’m getting the orange one love the color for Father’s Day and yes like to see the ULTRA 300 the XE SERIES SHOULD OF HAD TWEETERS THEY WERE LACKING CLARITY THE XG300 I liked good speaker but I can’t wait to get this one ULT1
I’m gonna have to agree with you the Sony XE 200 and the X300 were terrible. I had both of them and I ended up giving one to my granddaughter and sending the other one back. I couldn’t even listen to music on and they were so bad.
I think one of your biggest flaws when reviewing these units is when you use 50% volume or 100% volume as a messure of volume. Because % s not a measure of volume.. when comparing battery life especially between different models - you need to compare battery life for the same decibel level. 50% on 1 unit will be different to 50% on another. You could consider using decibels or other appropriate measurement.
i still refuse to accept the fact that field1 is the successor of xe200, field1 is the successor of xb23! field1 is the successor of xb23! field1 is the successor of xb23! and holy shit xe is literal shit it's right there in front of you but it sounded like neighbour's speaker. i doubt it's existence is to make field1 looked like a major upgrade in so many aspects. also made me buying 2020xb23 last year looked like a proud thing to do.
Agree that’s when they where actually competing with JBL but apparently these new speaker or competitors too so finally competition is always good(xb30 and xb41) was the good speakers
Sony is not messing around they added a tweeter are you serious I am so proud of Sony making a comeback starting to love Sony speakers again nice job Sony and thanks for the review really appreciate it
I'm happy too. I have xb12, xb30, xb01, xb3, and the last is xg300, this is a very good speaker, not perfect but is very good
Yh xb30 and xb41 was when sony was good
True but they making a comeback@@thugis07
@@thugis07the xg300 is also good

Really happy to see Sony crafting a good product this time around, will look into upgrading now :)
This is so close to being perfect but not having party connect is a deal breaker if you want more then one speaker.
You can connect two field ones together just not with other Sony speakers
2 sony srs xb100's or sony ult field1?
I have two of these speakers for stereo sound and it's a keeper. Sounds best if you adjust the equalizer without using the Ult button
Yeah I figured it out as well
Set at 4,5, 7 for clear audio
Yes you right
I love your video you make amazing videos and I’m a big fan and your video 🙂
Can you compare it to srs xb-33 ?
Check + and Bluetooth function on sony ult field 1. Press and hold 10 seconds. Feel the bass!)
you the first tech reviewer that said the ult line up is good.. i was never fan of sound signature.
I'm not going to lie. This guy has been around for a while. And his reviews are always very strange. I honestly, wouldn't trust them myself.
The difference is sooooooooooo huge when compared against the XE200 & XE300…the ULT 1 shines, like a lot!
One thing is very annoying. At pressing the ULT button a loud annoying sound is played by the speaker. I hope Sony will remove it in the FW update.
I believe it's what they programmed it to sound like when ult button is pressed. Sort of a signature signal.
Could be like when you hit max volume on the JBL flip 6
Aplikation im smartfon its ok

Finally, Sony back on track. Almost time to replace my XB-32
whats wrong with it?
@Daddy_chebz I use it intensely and loud so it doesn't sound that good anymore and because I charge it almost everything night for years the battery is not that healthy anymore. But the ole girl still got some life in her
Let’s see how the Sony performs against the JBL Flip
Better. More bass more instrument separation. Clearer. Little less harsh. I heard them in the stores
Sony wins🎉❤
Do a JBL Flip 6 Vs?? Maybe tie in the Charge 5, since as of right now it’s 139.99$. Thanks for the video, I have been waiting, killed it again.
Ult Field 1 more bass than xb40?
Should I get the Sony xg300 or the Sony ult field 1?

Soundcore motion plus as it has stereo sound
@@KM-er8qr xg300 as well

Waiting for ULT Wear review!
Now, only ULT WEAR is left to be reviewed.
Can this beat my old and reliable XB30?
In bass, maybe, just maybe, the XB30 might win, but the highs and mids is definitely ULT 1 hands down
Maybe. I still have an old SRS-XB30.

Are you going to check out the Bose SoundLink max? Haven't seen anything about it?
Yeah, but we just need time. We’re super busy here. We can be first or be best
its crap , have not a eq. cant turn off strong bass 😢
Ult field 1 vs xg300? 🙏🏻
I am sorry bro i critized u so much for being jbl fan but u are unbiased ❤
Is it grey, or does it have a green tint to it? I can't decide on what color to get.
Yes, gray with green tint

How does compare with jbl flip 6
bass music is just awful.. but the ult speaker seems to have better mid+high than the older xe models

Sony SRS-XB43 is the best portable speaker ever created from Sony. Everything since then is just crap
