SAVE UP TO $81.99: As of May 16, both the Sony ULT Field 5 and ULT Field 3 speakers are on sale for 25 and 26% off, respectively. The ULT Field 5 is down to just $248 from $329.99 and the ULT Field 3 is down to $148 from $199.99 — their best prices on record.
In early April, Sony expanded its ULT speaker lineup to include the ULT Field 3 and ULT Field 5 speakers. Just over a month later, both relatively budget-friendly speakers have dropped to even more affordable prices.
As of May 16, you can pick up the Sony ULT Field 3 at Amazon for just $148. That’s 26% off its list price of $199.99. Meanwhile, the Sony ULT Field 5 is down to just $248 at Amazon, which is about 25% off its list price of $329.99. Both are sitting at their lowest prices on record since their release last month.
We were thrilled to see the expansion of the ULT lineup, as we already loved the ULT Wear headphones and ULT Field 1 speaker. We haven’t had a chance to do any hands-on testing with the ULT Field 5, but Mashable’s Deputy Reviews Editor Miller Kern spent some time with the ULT Field 3 and wrote, “It’s a decently priced mid-size speaker from one of our favorite audio brands, so I don’t think anyone would regret purchasing it. It has great audio quality (as long as you’re not right next to the speaker), a good battery life, and can withstand tough conditions.”
The entire ULT line was designed for bass lovers. If heavy bass isn’t your thing, you may want to look elsewhere. These babies get loud. Both speakers are completely waterproof, dust-proof, and rust-proof, with an IP67 certification. Plus, both can stand vertically or lay horizontally and come with a removable shoulder strap. The Field 3 is smaller and more portable, while the Field 5 is a little heftier and “would be better for more stationary uses like house parties,” Kern writes. For a $100 difference, the 5 also has a slightly longer battery life, more customizable audio, more output, even deeper bass, and fun party lights.
