Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really only bought this for golf, and it works so well for everyday use.

Excellent, I love it, is better than i thought. Thanks

Surprisingly this thing works and sounds pretty good

VERY nice speaker very happy with it good purchase for the price got it on sale

This was a spur of the moment purchase, but well worth it. love my Sony speaker

My children and love it.we use it everytime we go outside

Great speaker for our outdoor patio use, but light enough to move around the house. Easy to set up.

The overall sound quality of the speaker is pretty good but I wish it had stronger bass for the price point.

I understand that the market has right now so many options for speakers that the mission of purchasing one looks daunting. If you are looking for a powerful sound speaker with easy connectivity to your Bluetooth device (phone, tablet, or music reproducer) and the weight is a factor this is probably the one you should consider. In connectivity, this is probably the most intuitive device that I found in years. I am used to a lot of technology that should be paired with another device, I appreciated so much the fact that as soon as I turned on the device for the first time, it was already doing the pairing searching for the main. Second pairing or with a different device is also as simple as pushing a button. The range of wireless is listed at an impressive 98 feet. The sound is simply amazing, with great capacity and volume. The surround sound qualities make this device the most immersive speaker for its size that I own. Lows are great when the ULT feature is activated, which makes evident and its presence appreciated. Note also that the speaker includes a built-in micro with ECHO canceling technology to receive and manage phone calls as it is a hands-free device. Finally, talking about resistance, I was just seduced when I considered that this has been rated as a IP67 waterproof, rustproof, and dustproof rating this speaker. This is my go-to device for a beach or a mountain day, it could be rainy at the last moment and I don’t need to be worried about it. And being so light can fit perfectly in my backpack. Other elements to consider about electrical power: .- The battery can run for almost half a day. Note that this is a reference in the box for a configuration t.b.d that probably limits the volume. In my 5 days of testing, I had performances of 8 to 9 hours non-stop with sound at 80%, always outdoors and the ULT activated. .- The speaker charges with a USB port in the back. The USB cable is included but not the power adapter. This is the only negative couple of elements, the cord is a bit small and the lack of adapter forces me to use my fast charger model. .- It fully charges in 4.30 hours (the specs refer to 5) but I imagine that could be based on the charger model or how old the battery is. Great addition!

Sounds great does everything i need it to do......

I love this so much i want all of them so great to buy

Great sound from a portable speaker. The base is high quality

Great little speaker for the price, just wish the bass was a little more.

Good speaker. Could be a little louder but decent for price.

I was completely shocked and disappointed at how terrible the bass sounded on this Bluetooth speaker. The passive radiator sounds like it is going to blow out if there is any type of deep base in your music. The equalizer adjustment helps absolutely 0%. I'm a huge Sony fan I love the noise canceling headphones that I own and the base on them sounds amazing. What on earth happened to this Bluetooth speaker and why is it so highly rated? I am completely confused by this.

Sound fills up backyard. Gets a muddy at louder volumes but it gets thr job done.

I bought to go in my truck and I love it! Everyone ask where I got it.

I have had the pleasure of listening to this new Sony ULT Field 3 now for the better part of a week and I must say this is a very impressive Bluetooth speaker. The speaker is a perfect size for carrying around with a weight of just under 3lbs. Unlike last years XE series speakers the Field 3 now comes with a carrying strap that connects to the speaker via 2 hidden connecting straps on the speaker. It takes a little getting used to when removing the strap as the metal connector is kind of like a fish hook with a barb that you have to get used to in order to release it. The Field 3 incorporates a woofer and tweeter along with 2 passive radiators in a nicely finished enclosure that is shockproof, water proof, dust proof and rust proof. The speaker can be played in either a horizontal or vertical position, but I have found the horizontal position to sound best. Both the woofer and tweeter are angled slightly upwards which helps improve the soundstage when sitting on a table or anywhere below your ear level. Sony has a new Sound Connect app that allows you to EQ the speaker however if you are using the ULT feature the EQ is fixed which is a little unfortunate as you cannot adjust any other frequencies for the speaker. I did find the ULT setting to provide the best overall sound though. There is only 1 ULT setting on the Field 3 compared to the Field 5 which has 2. The ULT setting extends the bass and gives a fuller mid-range. This speaker can get impressively loud for its size. Connecting the speaker through Bluetooth was easy and can be connected to 2 devices at the same time so you can switch between devices. I connected the speaker to my phone as well as a portable CD player and switching between devices was very easy to do. Sony claims 24 hours of battery life with the ULT function switched on and at level 22 for volume. At full volume with ULT on battery life is around 5 hours. I have used the speaker a couple hours a day for a week with no need to charge. You can get 2 hours of battery on a 10-minute charge. Unlike the Field 5 the 3 does not have a light feature so it does not effect the battery life. Charging is via USB-C and unlike last years XE series speakers the Field 3 can also be used as a power bank to charge your phone. The charging port is on the back of the speaker that has a flap to seal the ports. In addition to the charging port there is a battery button that when pressed allows the speaker to tell you how much charge the battery has and you can long press to put it in battery care mode which limits the amount of charge the battery takes in order to extend the life of the battery. On the top of the speaker is the power button, a Bluetooth connect button, a connect button for pairing multiple speakers in party mode, a play/pause button with a phone connect feature for answering calls, volume up and down and the ULT button. Sony claims you can connect up to 100 similar speakers in party mode or have 2 speakers in stereo mode. I have been comparing this speaker to my Sony XG300 that Sony claims can be paired in party mode with the Field 3 however Sony has 2 different apps The Music Center app that the XG300 connects to and the new Sound Connect app that the Field 3 connects to. Unfortunately, these 2 apps don’t talk to each other so getting the Field 3 and XG300 to connect was not very easy to do as you have to go through a manual process to pair them. I did manage to get them to pair but it would be a lot easier if they both could be set up in the same app so you could pair them in the app. All design and features aside how does the speaker sound? I have several higher end Bluetooth speakers that I compared this to, and I must say this is one impressive speaker. The soundstage is good, the tonal quality of the speaker is excellent even at higher volumes. The highs are detailed and do not distort at higher volumes like the XE series speakers tended to do. The bass is impressive given the size of this speaker. To get the best bass output you do need to use the ULT feature as the EQ in the app just doesn’t provide the same level of performance. Of all the speakers I compared it to the only one that I felt performed slightly better was the Sony XG300 which is larger and heavier than the Field 3. For day to day use around the house and outside I think I will be choosing the Field 3. There is a lot of competition in this price range for Bluetooth speakers but I would highly recommend checking out the Sony ULT Field 3 and compare it to other offerings out there. Depending on your listening preferences and the type of sound signature you prefer I think you will be surprised at how much this speaker has to offer.

Pretty nice. The bass seems a little muffled, but for the price, it's not something that is a big deal. Very easy to use and to pair.

Works beautifully as a sound bar for my PC. No need to drag my headphones around the office anymore!
