We are approaching the year end, and very soon it will be time when you would want to kick back, relax, and have the time of your lives during the fall. While we cannot promise you the comfort of any other accouterments, we do have the right speaker to match your vibe. Sony needs no introduction when it comes to speakers-the brand has been a stalwart in the domain.
From pioneering Japan’s first tape recorder in 1950 to distilling the same tech 10 years later into the TC-100 cassette tape recorder in 1966, and then innovating home audio setups throughout the ’90s and 2000s, Sony has always pushed boundaries. Notable tech advancements included the CFD-D77, a music system that introduced the use of a super woofer and a resonant tube, and the SCD-1 launched in 1999, the first Super Audio CD (SACD) player.
The ULT Field 3 takes home audio setups a step beyond. With a battery backup of around 24 hours, the ULT Field 5 will outlast your party spirit for sure.
Our experience with ULT Field 3
During our use, we tested it thoroughly, and it’s imperative to state that the battery output does not skip a beat. It’s perfect— even when not in use, the battery does not drain. The speaker has a setup of a 20 mm tweeter and an 86 mm × 46 mm subwoofer up front. While some might think that it’s a measly setup for a speaker that costs above 20K, that’s where you would be wrong. Sony has ensured that the tweeter, subwoofer, and passive radiators work in such harmony that you will often find that taking the speaker to its limits is not even necessary.
Your best companion for poolside parties, with its IP66 and IP67 waterproof rating, the speaker does not fall short on any grounds. It offers all functionalities that general users seek.
What we thought was missing
It’s hard to nitpick with the ULT 3, but often while using it, we found that it was better suited for songs with heavy bass. The setup of the tweeter, subwoofer, and passive radiators emphasises bass, and hence, in songs with heavy vocals, you may often witness the bass overpowering the tenor of the vocals slightly. Users will have to adjust the EQ for better output depending on the song. But such a slight miss will rarely be experienced.
The speaker has Bluetooth 5.2, AAC, and SBC codec support. It does, however, miss out on LDAC for the audiophiles. We would recommend all fellow music lovers to go for the speaker without a second thought—it’s currently listed for Rs 24,990.
