I’m back with another speaker review, help, and Sony has really knocked it out of the park with this one. I’ve mainly used my Boombox 3 for comparison against the Sony Field 7, and while Theodore Roosevelt said, “Comparison is the thief of joy,” he wasn’t wrong—it’s tough to resist comparing speakers side by side. The only area where this Sony doesn’t excel is in the sub-45Hz range, though it still gives it a good try. While the Boombox 3 rumbles a bit more in that low-end, this Sony more than makes up for it in other areas.

The ULT2 in this Sony decimates every portable system I’ve heard. The sound separation is fantastic, allowing every layer of your music to shine. Battery life is impressive, too. I left it unplugged for about a month, using it nightly for about an hour, and only after 30 days did the charge light come on. That’s serious endurance.

The multipoint connection works seamlessly between my tablet and iPhone, making it one of the few systems that hasn’t caused me any frustration. The lighting is another standout feature—far brighter than I expected. Unlike the dim ring lights on the SRS 300, these lights provide enough glow to add some nice ambiance, though not quite enough to light up a room or throw a strobe party.

And durability? It’s built like a tank. You could even turn it on its side and use it as a stool. Overall, this speaker delivers in almost every category, making it one of the best I’ve encountered.

Sound geek: I bought & compared the larger Bose JBL Sony and Soundcore, this one was the best sounding BY FAR! I do like the Soundcore (yes more than bose or jbl) one for carrying around to the beach n other dirty outdoor stuff as its cheapest among them and easiest to clean but for EVERYTHING else, the Sony Field speakers are my absolute go-to pick as the batteries last forever and the sound is definitely the best. Only minor gripes are the annoying flashing of the ULT button and the BT volume notches are too jumpy; solution is to use the buttons on the unit its self. But seriously, these are great, Sony did it again. I’ve honestly been impressed by most things they make. Typically solid performance and pretty much bulletproof. Like the honda or toyota of electronics.

Excellent sound quality - even when you use the bass boost it does not overwhelm the mids and highs. It is easy to pair with two phones/DAPs/whatever at once. I love the minimalistic look of the speaker as well. It is not very heavy and is thus easy to move around. I am planning to buy another one and use them in tandem which I can imagine will be incredible from a sound experience standpoint. I dont think they get as loud as JBL speakers this size but I will take that L for the superior sound quality. I have used this outdoors (not in any extreme weather conditions but normal sunny to cloudy cold days) and havent had any issues thus far.

Great sound. The light does drain the battery quickly but it still runs while charging. It doesn't have a XLR input as I saw in a few reviews but it does have a guitar jack which is useful.

I've previously used 4 sony Bluetooth speakers since a first try with a little SRS-XB32. I saw this become available at a good price after reading some good reviews and had the spare money to replace a big and nice sounding SRS-XG500 that I moved to another room. This is louder and defaults with much heavier bass than what it replaced. Sometimes I'll just be grooving with great music at a loud but not deafening level and the bass content is just too strong, almost shaking the room. Fine if it was a party perhaps but I think I had to tune it a little and take out some bass. However, it does sound great. The biggest criticisms are that Bluetooth is nice and tidy but it drops out a little for a beat occasionally. That's annoying and a wired speaker wouldn't do it. It doesn't sound like a mono source but there is little stereo width due to it all being in the one box, getting good stereo definition would require buying two and grouping them as a stereo pair, or you could keep your head a few inches from one (might as well buy headphones at the same price/quality). Plus, the Sony "Music Center" app for making configuration changes can be a pretty flaky, crashes all the time on one of my recent Samsung tablet models but not on the other. While I can create speaker groups it will only create a "party" group from two same speaker models. I have a pair of SRS-XG300 speakers and grouped as a "stereo" pair they fill a room with great stereo sound but I can't group one ULT Field 7 even with my SRS-XG500 as a "stereo" pair even though they have similar volume and sound. The built in lights are a nice party trick but not much use for anything else, they'll waste enough battery power that I don't normally bother. Non-flashing, calm daylight color can make a nice dark room background that's dimmer than a lamp and better power saving than room lights while reading a book from tablet but aren't bright enough to permit reading a paper book in a dark room.

I love my Sony ULT Field 7 Wireless Bluetooth. On its ULT2 setting, it pumps out the sound!! You want bass? This speaker system has it with more power to spare. When I first got it and tried it, my grandkids could hear it *clearly* over 150 yards away. As loud as I had it turned up (about 2/3 volume) there was no distortion. It’s unbelievable.

The only downside I can see with this system is its size (a little over 20” long) and its weight (14 lbs.). It has good hand support on the ends for easy carry.

Iv had mine for over a year now and use it daily and i still absolutely love this thing! It always rocks the jobsites. Loud but clean and clear, good base and battery life is surprisingly amazing if it's not maxed out.

Great speaker love it can bring it everywhere sony is the only speaker I buy best middle lows and bass best overall sound great size no distortion super good functionality party mode should be worked on but when it works its pretty cool..

I'm not goig to write a long winded technical review about how spectacular this product is, but just tell you how our experience with this product went.

1- the buying experience was great, payed for it and at my door in 3 days, no hassles.

2- unboxing went flawlessly, no drama, meaning no visible problems with the speaker or packaging themselves. Man is thing ever got some weight to it, 14lbs I believe, feels like a quality build.

3- the powering up and pairing of the speaker with my IPhone went by with no issues, did just what I felt I needed to do, which is pretty intuitive!

4- using the speaker... I was simply blown away on how far we have come in the field of bluetooth speaker technology, mind you this product is not cheap by no means, but I did manage to snap it up at $100 off on Amazon Canada. I had a $500 gift card from work as part of a 25 year work anniversary! I kicked in $63 in on top of that.

5- the sound is amazing, I mean the JBL may be on par with the ULT 7, don't know, but it also seems worthy just going by the online reviews. It looks like a solid contender that's for sure.

But I decided to go with the Sony as I have a few Sony items around the house, Suround Sound reciever, PSP's, PS4 etc... I have been a Sony fan for a long, long time, so for me this was a no brainer.

There is plenty of base just in the default setting let alone the ULT 1 & 2 base booster settings. I set it up on the back deck and had some guests over for a BBQ the same day I got the speaker. They we're blown away on just how good the speaker is, even the wife who thought I was crazy to spend that much coin on it was like wow, what a great sound that was coming out of it! I think she is very happy with it but will never admit it to me!

6- I should mention something about the battery life on it's first night of use. We set the volume at about not quite half, the speaker was delivered to us with 60% battery life and in an evening of 4 hours of play time streaming from my Iphone the battery went down 1%. Incredible!

My guest was immediately on Amazon looking up this speaker.. despite his wife nagging him about buying it just on a whim, LOL!

Conclusion,

I think this is just one of those purchases in my life that was just worth the $ that was put out for it.

Like I said before, you generally get what you pay for.

All in all, we are very happy with it, no regrets!

Great sounding speaker, enough sound for a large rooms, very happy!

👍

Muy bien producto y excelente calidad de audio.

It's a decent speaker but over hyped.... the reason i bought this speaker because of it says that it has a low frequency of 20Hz which i found is not true.... sounds great up to 40% then if you increase volume the sound shift mostly on mid and higher frequency and it's loud but no bass at all even with EQ settings you can enhance bass but still not effective on higher volume... i definitely liked this sound better than jbl boombox ....

i am reviewing it again after listening of my six months experience that it's a wonderful speaker and i realized the most fun part is begin with when you put your speaker on ultfied1 mode then you do eq settings with your phone eq not with sony eq app because to use sony app eq you need to change mode in to custom which is not good but trust me once you have set the phone eq on ultfield1 mode this is gonna be whole different level of experience... try it and that's the only reason i am giving it from 3star to 5 star after using my phone eq settings
