Customer Ratings & Reviews

Sony has repeatedly impressed me with their Bluetooth speakers in the last couple of years, and this new ULT Field 3 Model is definitely no different. From the first minute I connected my phone to it and started playing a song, I fell in love with it! The Bluetooth connection was very quick and easy, and the Sony Sound connect app is great as well. The speaker sounded amazing right out of the box but having the app available to fine tune the sound, among tweaking many other items, is great. I am someone who cannot listen to music if it is coming out of a poor sounding speaker, especially if it is lacking bass. This speaker is so great with base I struggle to even put it into words. When I pressed that ULT button for the first time I was genuinely shocked at the sound quality and the punch that was coming out of a speaker this size. If you consider yourself an audiophile in any way, you will not be disappointed with this speaker. This is the first speaker I've had that has the option of a shoulder strap and it has already come in handy, the size and profile of this speaker is the perfect size to pack in the suitcase and I can already see myself carrying this out to the beach or pool this summer. Perfect to go along with long days like that will be the impressive 24 hour battery life and quick charge function. Also going along with that, realizing this really is the perfect pool and beach speaker, will be the IP67 waterproof and dust proof feature. No matter how careful you are with electronics, mistakes still happen and having that safety net is appreciated. Overall this speaker is a 10/10 and Sony did an excellent job with it.

While i am a Sony enthusiast, this is not their best product. I have come to expect better from these speakers, this one is just ok.

Highly recommended! I gifted my son on his birthday and he loves it.

Do not buy this. Initially I thought this was a really great speaker. The sound quality is good and it worked great for several months. Then suddenly, the Bluetooth started randomly dropping connection. The speaker is now unusable, it will randomly disconnect within ba few minutes to an hour after establishing a connection. Manually resetting the speaker or changing connection settings using the Sony App does nothing. The speaker is too unreliable to use for any period of time and I wish I would have bought something else.

I bought it for my son who's favorite color is orange. It sounds great but it could be a little louder. We do mainly use it outside.

Great sound, easy connected and maintain connectivity.

By far one of the best! I would purchase this again.

Sounds great, size and colors look good and I’m happy overall.

Sound amazing and for the price its not a bad item

Perfect for pool and hikes would purchase agin soon

Its good for the price range but I expected more. Its not as loud as its competitors but im happy with the purchase overall

Stylish and compact. Worth every penny. Bargain price.

Great product for the price and it is very try loud

Really good speaker for beach and pool side activities. Great bass and sound quality. Even for small get togethers!!

New upgraded line of Sony speakers, with the ULT 3 being in the middle of the series as far as size goes. The ULT 3 was clearly intended to be taken around, as the casing has built in strap connections for you to attach a shoulder strap. When the strap is not in use/unattached, the attachment points hide away flush into the body of the speaker. Volume is plenty loud, but if you activate the ULT button the speaker automatically boosts the bass EQ. Battery life is rated for up to 24 hours, but only reaches 5 hours if using at maximum volume output. The speaker itself is rectangular, and can be stood in vertical or horizontal orientation depending on your needs. If you invest into the ULT sound ecosystem, one cool feature is Party Connect mode which daisy chains multiple ULT speakers to create stereo surround sound. With its form factor, Sony foresaw its use as a beach/pool/camp speaker, and the ULT 3 has a robust IP67 rating meaning it is dust-tight and can withstand submersion in water up to 1 meter deep for up to 30 minutes

Interesting little speaker. Packaging was kinda over the top but hey, it's Sony. So it has a few Pro's and Con's. Here are a few of my Pro's. It is lightweight compared to most of the others in its class. I like the cloth cover instead of the metal or plastic that is on most speakers. Sounds pretty good. Played some jazz, country, r&b from the 90's and some metal. It seemed to really like the metal without using any EQ settings right out the box. The rest needed some tweaking with the EQ. It feels durable but I wasn't going to test the floating ability, I will probably get to it once the pool opens up and give it a whirl next to it wile I clean the pool. The included straps were a great bonus. Wish more vendors included one especially the way they implemented it on this speaker (easy to put on and take off). The last Pro but is a pretty good one is the battery. Running it for about two days straight after charging it which only took about 40 minutes out the box.I had it connected to one of my tablets and let it play music for a few days until it turned off from the battery running out. Once I got the software installed and running it turned off the battery care at first and then after the first power cycle I turned that feature (Battery Care) on and it went for about 4 days before it got to around 20 percent battery left. Truly impressed wit what Sony did with the battery technology. Automatic update was turned on immediately. Now for the Con's. One big one is the software. It installed and ran just fine on my Android phone but when it came to my iPhone, oh boy. Was not pleased at all. Usually it's the other way around but this was a pain on the rear for about two days. Way too many install, uninstalls to get the software to work in iOS. That is pretty much the only Con I have. Reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Would I recommend this speaker, yes. I think it should be a little lower in price but hey when you buy a Sony product you know you are going to pay a slight premium for it.

Music volume is not as high as expected. Would prefer for the volume to go up higher so therefore it was returned. Otherwise it was a nice speaker.

The sound doesn’t pack a punch but this speaker was meant for a small room.

Good sound and clear but it keeps disconnecting. I have a lot of Sony products.

Relying on the Sony name, I paid about $200 but found the sound quality is not that great. The extra bass button is kind of gimicky. Comes with a shoulder strap when an integrated handle would have been a better design.
