Customer Ratings & Reviews

not a fan. sounds cheap so the price should only be 50 bucks. battery life was okay but returned.

Sound good for the price and for the size. No better than the JBL flip competitor. Definitely not worth over $100. Buy on sale if you really want a small sony portabke speaker. Sound in ULT mode is the best equilizer setting.

This is Sony's newest speaker. It replaces their Extra bass lineup overall the Ult series. This is their smaller speaker but it packs a punch. Inside the box you get: Short USB Type C to USB Type C cable The speaker itself And a strap so you could carry it on your shoulder I'll say the negatives first to get it out of the way. This is a Sony Speaker and not a cheap one at it but it lacks LDAC support which is ashame I wish it had it. Also if you have the Ult button on than you can't do a custom EQ which also sucks. Otherwise those are the only negatives that stand out. Anyways in terms of basic specs it is a Bluetooth 5.2, 24 hours of battery life , one woofer, tweeter and 2 passive radiators. It also is IP67 so you don't have to worry about getting it wet near a pool, bathroom or etc. As far as sound goes it gets decently loud for the size of the speaker and with the Ult button its bass is very pronounced like what you'll expect from the older extra bass line of products. For parties and etc this sounds great.

I don't know what caused Sony to dedicate itself to figuring out how to pack as much bass response as they possibly could into the smallest speakers possible, but clearly they were not satisfied with their previous efforts with the XB series. With the ULT Field they appear to have designed a portable twin subwoofer, then figured out how to stick a couple tweeters into the middle. I don't know if you can necessarily call the sound that results it the most accurate audio reproduction available, but the rich tones that result are undeniably satisfying. So yeah. It sounds good, and if you turn it up all the way the bass tones might be powerful enough to shake out any fillings you have in your teeth. Sony has definitely accomplished everything they set out to do, and you probably already know if this is the kind of speaker that appeals to you or not. How'd they do with the rest? As it turns out, rather well. The speaker strikes a pretty good balance between being big enough to produce decent audio and being portable enough to carry around in a backpack. The frame is sturdy, the materials all feel very high quality, and the adjustable carrying strap is versatile enough to offer plenty of options for lashing it to your gear. Only potential downside is the fact that both subs fire out the sides, meaning that anything pushing in on either end could potentially damage one. I don't think it would be easy - every effort has clearly been made to make these parts as rugged as possible and the protective frame at each end should protect it from larger hazards. But It still feels vulnerable enough that I'm kind of surprised it didn't come with a carrying case of some sort. Overall I'd have to say this is a very good option for parties, camping, biking, or any other lovers of low frequency vibration on the go.

I am not an audiophile or anything, but I do appreciate products that allow me to enjoy my music with good quality sound. I am a fan of Sony from their TVs to their soundbars, so I was excited to hear the sound that could come out of this new little speaker, and oh man I am super to get this before the summer. I like camping and kayaking, and this speaker is going to make these moments more enjoyable for me. Pairing was easy. I didn’t download the application, and so I appreciate that I can just use this straight out of the box. I have enough apps on my phone, so being able to just use this as is and having it sound this great without playing around with the settings is a perfect speaker for me. It has the ULT button on the actual speaker in case you want to take it easy with the bass, and so no need to download the app. A big plus for me! Sound is amazing and the bass it’s the best I’ve heard from a speaker in this size. The only thing where this fall short for me is the cheap lace design they decided to go with. They call it a versatile strap, but’s just a lace that for me it feels like it doesn’t belong on this speaker. It’s such a beautiful, designed speaker from end to end, but this black “strap” makes it feel a little cheap, and so I opted to remove it and instead put a clip on it. This is what Sony should have straight from the box. Overall, I recommend this to anyone looking for a portable speaker this upcoming summer. If you’re a fan of the strap awesome, but if you’re not just put a clip on it like me or take it off for a super clean look!

Excellent speaker! The sound quality is phenomenal and the battery lasts the entire day, even when outside and on the beach. I bought this as a gift and will be buying one for myself now.

My favorite BT speaker I use for working out started getting a little rattle so I used that as an excuse to start looking for a replacement instead of digging to see what the issue was. That speaker sounded so nice with deep rumbling base, clear mids and highs. It was perfect. First impression when I opened the box was, "Man, this Ult Field 3 is gonna be weak!" The puny speaker wasn't gonna be able to put out the sound I wanted at least replicate with my other speaker. So, I hook it up to my tablet, launched YT Music, and ... Whoa! I had to turn the volume down. How the heck is this little speaker pushing more sound than my bigger speaker? Not only was it louder, but it seemed like the sound surrounds you more than my other speaker. Bass? Heck yes it pushes some very good, deep, clean base. It can't hit the low rumble like a full subwoofer could, but the woofer and ports work to put out bass that matched my speaker with a larger woofer that what the Ult Field 3 has. I haven't tried Ult1 Mode (which sounds like old school Sony Mega-Bass) because the bass is so clean and clear in normal mode that I don't think I'll need it. So far I'm really diggin this speaker and have decided to retire my old baby. Ult Field 3 is now my chosen workout speaker. Now to find a way to repurpose the old speaker.

I have owned quite a few bluetooth speakers by Sony over the years and usually they always made me happy but, unfortunately, this ULT Field 3 speaker does not. The aesthetics are good. It has a sleek and simple look with the buttons on the top. The build quality feels very good and the removeable strap is great for when I am on the go. I have the white color and it looks great. The charging port is located on the back behind a rubber door. It uses a simple USB type C connector for charging. The battery life is pretty good. Lasts quite a while, even when using at higher volumes a bit. The setup was pretty simple, I just downloaded the app and then connected the speaker to my phone. These good things are all things I expected and always enjoyed about Sony bluetooth speakers. Now, the sound. The sound is honestly not great. I feel that it lacks clarity and definition. When using the equalizer in the app, I am able to adjust the highs and mid range easily but the bass just lacks a lot. I used the bass boost or ULT feature and it just made it sound terrible. The bass was muddy and overly boosted. It drowned out the highs and mid range. With and without the EQ and ULT sound enhancements, it just sounded bad at mid to high volumes. I am very disappointed with this speaker. For something that is at the $199.99 price point, this should sound so much better. Overall, I think there is much better for the same price.

This Sony ULT FIELD 1 Blue-Tooth speaker has excellent sound quality -- clear highs / mids / and bass. I have an old van, and instead of replacing the OEM radio / CD player (no Blue-Tooth), I just hang up this little deal and it fills up the van with more clear sound and volume than I'll ever need - and much better than the combined front-rear OEM van speakers. It's potential volume is way too loud for a hotel room (while traveling), but fills up the space without offending neighbors on its near-lowest settings, and it is more than enough outdoors by the pool.

Sound good for the price and for the size. No better than the JBL flip competitor. Definitely not worth over $100. Buy on sale if you really want a small sony portabke speaker. Sound in ULT mode is the best equilizer setting.

I just purchased this and i’m glad I did. I needed a replacement for my old JBL speaker and I thought I would try Sony. The option to increase base at the touch of a button is fantastic. The sound is excellent. Much better than my old speaker. I deliver mail and I have the speaker blasting. I get some curious looks from my customers but it’s all good. I like it!!

This is a mighty little speaker its loud and the subwoofer sounds great.

Use for work! It's loud enough to hear over machines and the sound boost is a major plus!

Awesome speaker big bass and very good on app plus freqent updates

Its peefect speaker and hold the battery awile i never had this one

If you are looking for a speaker in this size and price range look no further The battery life is much better than the flip 6

The question about pairing this device with a bluetooth microphone? The 'yes' answer should be ERASED, because I bought this item with that in mind. It CANNOT be paired with a microphone AT ALL. Fortunately, I can still use it, but I feel hoodwinked into buying it.

Love it been using it everyday since the purchase which was a swift and eazy transaction

Returned for another Sony model. It was fine when I had it.

I’m SUPER UPSET WITH THIS PURCHASE! I feel like Best Buy did a bait and switch ! I SWEAR THIS SPEAKER SOUNDED A LOT A LOT LOUDER ON DISPLAY. When I turned it on when I got home it sounded super super low! My phone alone sounds louder than this speaker ! Returning ASAP!
