Short answer: the Huawei Sound Joy 2, if you are buying new. The Huawei Sound Joy ranks higher than the Sony ULT Field 1 (#40 vs #99 of 177 medium speakers) but is discontinued; its replacement, the Huawei Sound Joy 2, is rated 3.5/5 at $154.73 and is still sold new.
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. Watch for: Upper midrange peak, rolled off treble.
The Huawei Sound Joy is the better-sounding, longer-running option. A waterproof speaker with a separate tweeter, long battery life and good loudness, with a Devialet mode for its best sound. It is rated for 26 hours of battery against 12 for the Sony ULT Field 1. The catch: Boosted treble, not quite as deep of bass as a JBL Charge 5.
Buy the Huawei Sound Joy 2, the replacement for the discontinued Huawei Sound Joy; it is rated higher for sound quality than the Sony ULT Field 1.
