Sony - ULT FIELD 5 Wireless Portable Speaker

I got the sony ult field 5 for 20k check for card offers

I can't agree at all with the Xtreme 4 v Ult 5 comparison. The Xtreme 4 with the right EQ absolutely blows away the Ult mode. The bass on the Ult 5 is actually surprisingly weak for the size of the speaker 

Ult 5 is really good but not great portability wise, it's a bit of a brick. The Xtreme is bulky too but a bit more convenient. Charge is the best by far for transport.  I found the Ult 5 bass really lacking, especially for the size. Xtreme blows it away, and the Ults only marginally better than the Charge. Sound quality is great still  Id say the Xtreme is the best, but the Charge if portability is a big factor. 

If it's in your budget, I say get all three, if you're planning to build a multi speaker system, then an Auracast setup would lean towards JBL. As far as the most authentic sound reproduction go with the Sony, if you like drums, and deeper Bass, that most certainly goes to the Bose. This is why it such a hard choice, but if you only needed one speaker, and you plan to use it a lot, the Sony checks all the boxes! I hope this helps since I own all three.

Well, I mean if you’re looking for loudness and base go with the extreme four cause I have it but if you can, I would spring for the Sony old field five it’s the same price and it sounds a lot better

I have the ULT field 5, 7 and XG-300.. what you are saying is not true. This is an huge improvement over XG-300 . And for the record sound is not all about bass. The bass is pretty balanced. JBL has an bass that is deeper, but out of balance sound signature. There are people like me who also don't like that

In my experience: Sony ULT Field 5, it sounds great outside and the battery lasts a very long time (with the lights turned off). I also think it sounds more balanced than the JBL speakers (more low frequency boost).

I understand that every speaker has a different impact on everyone; our ears have their own frequency response (Fletcher–Munson curves). I find it quite balanced (considering it's a Bluetooth speaker, certainly not a studio monitor with a super-linear frequency response), especially in ULT 2 mode. The bass is present but not intrusive, and doesn't drown out the other frequencies. The only "flaw" is that the mid-highs are a bit brighter, and this "coloration" might not be appreciated by everyone.

I just bought the ult 5 recently and it sounds really good! I'm not an expert but do love some quality bass and I think the Sony delivers. Charge 6 is smaller tho so you would notice the difference. Extreme 4 is probably louder. I think you should see what sound profile they deliver and then choose based on what you're looking for. I have read here that Sony is good for edm and techno or bassy songs, that's my niche so it's perfect for me.

I just tried the Sony field ULT Field 5. It has a nice sound but the bass is lacking, even with its custom setting options and the eq on the app, the bass is too weak.

That sucks. I was looking to buy one and return my Xtreme 4. The bass is lacking on it and I have the bass all the way up on the equalizer.

I bought the ULT Field 5 to compare against the Xtreme 4 I bought to see which one will go back. You were right, I was extremely disappointed that a speaker that is newer than the Xtreme and bigger than the Xtreme had such bad bass. It's like they didnt even try. This is with trying all ULT settings plus custom eq. I also use a custom eq on the JBL. The ULT is going back for sure. I was interested in the Boombox 3 but I like to travel with my speaker and it won't fit in my carry-on and you cannot have electronics with lithium batteries in your checked luggage.

ult 3 is not boomy at all, and has much better sound than ult 1, ult 5 or ult 7
