Even more than the Ult Field 1 and 7, the Ult Field 3 gives the impression that Sony is not just trying to appeal to the younger target group with the fresh Ult label, but is attempting an all-round approach. The design is timeless and surprisingly restrained, but still offers the flexibility and robustness that you would expect from a Bluetooth speaker of this price and size...

The Sony ULT Field 3 offers a good overall package. The battery is long-lasting and the power bank function provides power for smartphones and other devices. The speaker looks great, but it also weighs quite a lot. In addition, the sound is never quite perfect: without the optional ULT boost, it lacks substance; with the bass boost, it is a little too powerful and boomy.
