These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The Bose Soundlink Micro 2 ranks #18 of 62 small speakers by sound quality at $129; the Sony ULT Field 1 ranks #99 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality at $138.
The Bose Soundlink Micro 2 is the lighter pick. A waterproof mini speaker with a fabric strap for bags and bikes and USB-C charging. At 0.7 lbs (329 g) it weighs much less than the Sony ULT Field 1 at 1.4 lbs (650 g). It supports aptX Bluetooth, which the Sony ULT Field 1 lacks. Watch for: Lack of clarity.
The case for the Sony ULT Field 1: A tough, waterproof small speaker that survives drops, with long real world battery life and stereo pairing. The tradeoff: Upper midrange peak, rolled off treble.
Buy the Bose Soundlink Micro 2 at $129 if you want a small speaker. Buy the Sony ULT Field 1 at $138 if you want a medium speaker instead.
