Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 ranks #1 of 62 small speakers by sound quality at $35.39; the Sony ULT Field 1 ranks #99 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality at $138.
The Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 is the lighter pick. An excellent sounding small speaker, with surprisingly deep bass for its size and a strap that holds it on a bike or backpack. At 0.7 lbs (317 g) it weighs much less than the Sony ULT Field 1 at 1.4 lbs (650 g). The catch: Finicky phone charging, which doesn’t usually work.
Why pick the Sony ULT Field 1: A tough, waterproof small speaker that survives drops, with long real world battery life and stereo pairing. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 lacks. It links with other speakers (Party Connect up to 100 speakers), which the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 cannot. The catch: Upper midrange peak, rolled off treble.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 at $35.39 if you want a small speaker. Buy the Sony ULT Field 1 at $138 if you want a medium speaker instead.
