Sony - ULT FIELD 5 Wireless Portable Speaker

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.

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

I bought three ULT Field 1’s and one ULT Field 5 at Target while they were 70% off (in-store). The ULT Field 1’s are very portable. They are very nice. They sound relatively close to as quality (I’d say about 75% as good) as the ULT Field 5. I am going to Keep the 5 for myself and give the 1’s to my family for Christmas. I think you will like the 1 if you choose it. I am mostly just using it for inside my house and that is why I opted for the 5 for myself. If I needed something super portable for on the go, I would have kept the 1.

Hello, personally for the same use as you I took a JBL PartyBox essential when I want big sound and otherwise for when I travel I took a Sony ult field 5 which costs less than 300 euros! I have a reloop mixtour pro controller and an iPad and I'm on djay pro

I saw this speaker on sale for 199 bucks and I bought this speaker on the positive feedback I had from my Sony ULT wear headphones which had the same concept of 2 ult modes and I can say the experience between these 2 are miles apart... The Sony ULT wear had much more customisation for eq ... This speaker has a practically almost useless 10 bar eq for decoration... Sorry excuse for an eq.. my ULT wear's 5 band eq had even ways to increase the clear bass and the difference was substantial..The experience on the headphones was pretty great but for this... What in the hell were Sony thinking with this one?? The speaker is just slightly above average for the bass but the clarity is very good as the reviews on YouTube say no doubt.. I guess this speaker is gonna be sitting in the car and not in my room☹️☹️ Until there's a proper update to resolve the deep bass compression Issues its overpriced .. and heavy for nothing..

Returned a ULT 5 because it had little to no bass.  Loved the form factor and style but could not make it sound good.

Today I bought a Sony ULT Field 5. I have many bluetooth speakers from JBL Authentics 500 to Marshall Woburn 3, Boombox 3. I would like to share that the speaker is beautiful, it looks modern and beautiful. Excellent LED lights. Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the sound. There is no power, it is around real 30W. After 60%, a strong compression appears which totally kills the bass and sound dynamics. An update came immediately, but nothing improved. The speaker is pleasant to listen to at about 30-50% gain. There is no deep bass, don't expect miracles. The sound is very open with emphasized highs and mids. Many better alternatives Harman Kardon Go Play 3, JBL Boombox 3, Bose Soundlink Max. I will definitely be taking this Sony back to the store

Buy it and test it like I did. You certainly won't be thrilled to get mediocre sound for that high price just because of the Sony brand. Nothing special. Take the cheap Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 9. Just here the difference is huge in favor of HK. The Sony sounds very far from the audiophile. At $150, the Sony ULT 5 is a good choice, but everything else is grossly overpriced

Hello again. I told you 😀 Buy Bose SoundLink Max then, is a really impressive but please not for retail price.  Sony ULT 5 is a good speaker for the price 130-180 dollars but no more. This weekend in Netherlands if you buy ULT 5 for 299 euro you recive for free Sony Headphones WH-CH720N and small orange speaker Sony XB100. Well this is a good deal really i just bought for my collection 😉  About Boombox 3 Wi-Fi and Regular BT version this is the best BT speaker ever, but yes, you can't put in your bag  😀

Unfortunately you are absolutely right. The speaker only looking fantastic but is too weak for his size. If you need it for indoor, this is not your speaker. If you need it for outdoor, there is better speakers for thr same or less price. 

Sony ult field 3 or 5 Looks good, easy to use, neutral when ult turned off, good details. 5 has stereo and aux in also. Both have battery care mode and BT Standby, and can also do phone calls.

I have a Sony Ult Field 5 speaker :,) it has a 3.5mm stereo aux in + bluetooth… the killer feature is the adjustable bass response tbh- that thing can absolutely thump on kicks it’s lovely :,) got it for $250 at BestBuy it may still be on sale If I could get a different one I’d go Minirig though…
