Sony - ULT FIELD 3 Wireless Speaker - Black

I recently got the Sony ULT Field 1 and loved it so much that I ended up picking up the bigger ULT Field 3 as well. At higher volumes, the ULT Field 3 definitely delivers a much deeper bass compared to the Field 1, and the vocals come through clearer too. I think ult field 3 is a sweet spot in size not too small not too large to put it in a back pack. Overall, I’m really impressed with this speaker. Even though I also have the JBL Authentics 500, I find myself constantly reaching for the ULT Field 3—it just makes music so enjoyable to listen to. I really appreciate the ULT button. Some people say it’s pointless because they never feel the need to turn it off, but personally, when I’m watching videos, I like to switch it off to reduce the bass and keep the focus more on vocals. If there’s one thing I wish it had, it would be a USB audio connection. I know JBL’s Charge 6 includes this feature, so I was hoping Sony would too. But other than that, in terms of sound quality and design, I think the Sony ULT Field 3 is easily the best portable speaker for summer 2025.

Pleasantly surprised at the sound quality of such a compact subwoofer/speaker. Very stylish easy to operate and was a good investment.

It's a great speaker, much better than others in the same segment. I was comparing this one to JBL, and Sony definitely wins; for the price and quality, it's worth it. The only thing I wish was possible is to adjust the equalizer within the Sony app. I also wish you could connect it to other speakers for a home theater setup or with Alexa. That’s the only part that disappointed me a bit—I expected it to be smarter. Other than that, the sound is great and the battery life is excellent.

With the bass boost on I get 9 hours of play time. If I use it without the bass boost I get almost triple that time. Great quality sound even with the boost off. DEFINATELY well worth the money.

It is one of the best compact speakers with solid sound quality. It has an IP67 rating, which means it is water-resistant. It is not IP68 like JBL speakers of a similar size and price, which are fully waterproof. Other than that, the sound quality is phenomenal, and the battery life is also very good. One feature I really like is the protective cover on the charging port. This makes it great for outdoor use, such as at the beach, because it helps protect the port from water and dust. Compared to alternatives like JBL, Bose, or Beats, this feature is not always available. In my opinion, the sound quality is overall better than its competitors, and I recommend this product.
