The Sony ULT FIELD 3

Unboxing the Sony ULT Field 3, I was surprised how compact and light the wireless speaker was! First thought the sound was going to mediocre at best. Surely something this compact simply cant produce a deep base sound from a housing this small. First thing to do was charge the unit with the supplied... USB C cable fitted to a PD compatible AC power adaptor, charging times are an average of 3 to 3.5 hours for a full charge or if you are in a hurry a 20 minute charge will give you around two hours at a respectable volume. Once I gave it a full charge I set about linking it to my phone, this process was easy by pressing the "ST pair" button on the speaker and searching for it on your Apple/Android Bluetooth settings and linking to it. That done, I was eager to play some of my music on the ULT field 3. The following was tested with the ULT button activated on the speaker this typically activates the powerful Bass boost function. My son was in the same room as me when I first played a track from my music library from my iPhone. First reaction was a jaw drop from me, then my sons wide eyed reaction on his face. The first thing he said was "WOW that sounds deep" and it took me back to when I had my first powerful HiFi with Big speakers back in the day. The bass quality was excellent, so I moved the field 3 around the living room to see if its deep bass stayed deep, reflective properties of a room can affect sound from speakers dramatically especially with different products of this type tested. The ULT Field 3 bass qualities more or less stayed the same equally, with its sharp clarity and crispness from the drum high hat and cymbals. High volumes can produce distortion, the ULT Field 3 copes very well with high volumes tested by me at a garden party on our last heat wave. I had my guest looking around for my music centre but the ULT Field 3 was hidden by one of our plant pots. Our guests was amazed by its small size and excellent sound that came from it.....A few were considering in purchasing the unit for themselves! The speaker comes with a quality shoulder strap making it easy to transport the unit which can be easily fitted by pulling out two water proof covers situated at the top and attaching the strap with its fittings. Talking about water proof the unit is IPX7 and dust proof IPX6. The unit has a power saving feature that it will turn off after 15 mins of no activity. This can be turned off by a button next to the USB charge port covered by a water proof cover but will reduce the running time of the speaker. There is one cool feature with the supplied USB C cable, you can use the speaker as a power bank to charge other items such as a mobile phone etc. My honest opinion? I love the unit, value for money and above all its sound!
