    Did a bit of research before landing on this, glad I did. This speaker gets loud and the quality is super crisp. We mostly use it for when we're playing tennis or relaxing but it's been great regardless of the environment we put it in.

    Overall, a very good machine. Great sound quality. The only issue I have with it is that if you don’t have the instruction manual trying to figure out how to connect. The unit via Bluetooth is very difficult. You would assume you would just press the Bluetooth button and it would try to pair with something but that’s not the case.

      Hello Rick,

      Thank you for your feedback on the ULT FIELD 3! We're thrilled to learn that you consider it an "overall excellent machine" with "exceptional sound quality."

      We also appreciate your candid feedback regarding the Bluetooth pairing process without the manual. We understand how important intuitive setup is, and we apologize if this caused any initial frustration.

      For future reference, a quick press of the Bluetooth button will typically reconnect to the last device, while pressing and holding the Bluetooth button for a few seconds (until the indicator flashes rapidly) will put the speaker into pairing mode to connect to a new device.

      You can always find the full instruction manual and a helpful "Help Guide" online on our product support page, which includes detailed pairing instructions. Here you have the link: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/7866/v1/en/index.html

      We value your insights as they help us improve the user experience.

      Thanks for choosing Sony!

    I love the crisp sound and relatively deep bass for a compact speaker. I replaced my braven balance that I’ve had for the last 8 or so years with this and the difference is night and day.

      Hi DanielB,

      Thank you for your fantastic review! We are so glad to hear the Sony ULT FIELD 3 speaker was a great gift for your friend and that you found it easy to use, lightweight, and love the customizable bass.

      The ULT button is what gives you that control over the bass. With a simple press, you can choose between two different sound modes to add a powerful, deeper bass to your favorite songs, or turn it off completely for a more balanced sound.

      Thanks for choosing Sony, and have a beautiful day!

    The sound quality is excellent, with a good balance of bass and treble, and it produces a really great quality of music overall. I also appreciate that it's waterproof, which is a great feature. Its portability is awesome, making it easy to take anywhere. Additionally, pairing it with other Sony speakers is very straightforward.

    Great sound, quality, light and easy to connect any blue tooth such as a phone or computer. Works in small spaces and as a replacement for a bose speaker didn't play loud enough when used in a large gym aeribic fitness area. I upgraded to the ult field 5 which solved all probkems but is significanly heavier so noticable when carrying around to jobs 5-6 days a week. Both are great!

      Hi StaceyH,

      It is great to hear you are so pleased with the Sony ULT FIELD 3 and found it to be a speaker with great sound, high quality, and effortless Bluetooth connectivity! We appreciate your detailed comparison and feedback on how well the ULT FIELD 3 performs in small spaces. It's helpful to know that while you needed the extra power of the ULT FIELD 5 for a large gym environment, you still found the FIELD 3 to be a superb speaker that is noticeably lighter and more convenient.

    Bigger and looks more mature then its counter part Jbl charge. Now sounds better is debatable. However even for a discounted price of 150 there’s plenty of competition that’s much bigger and louder. The most marketed doesn’t mean the best.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback, BCastro.

      We are so pleased to hear that you are happy with the sound quality of your SRS-ULT30 speaker. We designed this model to deliver a great audio experience, and it's rewarding to know we've succeeded.

      We also understand your comment about the need for a separate app. The Sony | Music Center app is designed to give you more control over the speaker's features, like customizing the sound modes and managing Bluetooth connections. However, we appreciate your honest feedback that for your use, the speaker works perfectly on its own

      Thank you again for choosing Sony and for your valuable review.
