    Not the loudest, but excellent quality sound. Sony has been consistently providing bluetooth speaker options that surpass my expectations. For a speaker at this pricepoint if you are looking for high quality over pure dbs then i absoltely reccomend this item. It still produces excellent volume sufficient for overcoming both ambient environmental noise as well as group conversations or active populated rooms. Easily heard in other rooms of a home or in a crowded room.

    speaker rounds out my full Sony lineup from the ULT 1 through the ULT 7. Each speaker has its strengths and weaknesses but the ULT 5 really feels like the sweet spot. ULT 1 is a great backpack speaker, ULT 3 is a great small/medium room candidate, and the ULT 7 is a beast for larger rooms or outdoor events. The ULT 5 rounds out the lineup and it truly feels like the best speaker in the lineup if you want a great living room speaker or a trusty road warrior for traveling and smaller/medium outdoor events. The ULT 5 feels like the perfect combination of all of these but volume is your friend. Anything below 40% seems to sound a tad muffled (even with ULT 2 mode selected) the speaker starts breathing like a dragon once you get to 50% and above up to about 90% when you lose a major majority of your bass and compression starts engaging. This speaker can get loud so it’s honestly too much if you want to get it loud enough to reach its full potential sound and eq response wise in a smaller apartment or bedroom. If you want a living room speaker that will hit in the living room as a party speaker or outdoor event speaker, this speaker will do you wonders! Lighting differs depending on which color you buy. I loved the ULT 5 so much that I bought a second one in white after my initial purchase of the black model. Lighting definitely seems brighter on the white model as you get more of a reflection off of the side LED’s mounted around the passive radiators and you definitely can see a noticeable difference between the two color options. The black model doesn’t show the lighting as well unless you are in a darker room and the speaker is placed in a corner. 4 stars you ask? Well that is because the Sony apps just straight up won’t connect or work sometimes. The Sony fiesta app hasn’t worked at all (a general app for features such as lighting and dj effect controls) even after many uninstall and reinstalls. I just get a black screen after opening and it’s been a problem for weeks now without an update. While you can work most of the controls in the Sony connect app, it’s sometimes slow and clunky and the deeper options are really buried in the settings. Feels like a majority of the features are too difficult to mess with on a consistent basis. How does this speaker compare to the XG300 or the xb43? In my humble opinion, the ULT 5 blows them both out of the water in not just sound, but also looks and functionality. While I love my old faithfuls (both still work fine for me and will serve as great options for years to come) you really feel like you are getting a premium device. How does this speaker compare to larger speakers like the JBL boombox or the ULt 7? You won’t get booming bass or thump at louder volumes over 90% but this speaker can nearly compare in loudness indoors. Outdoors the larger rivals really pull away from the ULT 5 but that is to be expected when you see the price difference. This speaker seems to have more of a flat profile for a majority of its volume range and doesn’t focus on a scooped sound like the boombox 3. Shares a similar characteristics with its larger brother the ULT 7 but you do sense more compression throughout the frequency range when you get over 90% in comparison to the ULT field 7 losing more of its bass at 75%. The ULT 7 can get insanely loud but it’s mainly pushing a ton of mids at you and compressing only the low end frequencies to keep the sound pressure numbers high. The ULT 5 lives to be played at medium volumes and it really sounds it’s best at 50-90% when the whole range gets pumping. Both the boombox and the ULT 7 tend to have more kick in the low end and brighter sound at lower volumes that’s seems to be a bit more rounded for lower volumes. The ULT 5 seems almost a bit muffled even with the ULT mode 2 engaged and custom EQ is essentially useless as it cancels out any ULT modes and you lose a lot of your sound pressure. While I do love this speaker in comparison to my other Jbl and Bose on the go faithfuls, I would wait for a sell of some sorts on any of the Sony models. It’s normal for Sonys to routinely go on sale randomly and I’ve gotten great discounts on all of my models by not buying day one or rushing to pay MSRP.
