Sony’s New ULT Bluetooth Speakers Bring Back the Bass Boost Button of the ’90s
Three new speakers of the ULT Power Series, a new line of audio equipment from Sony, were just launched. Bid adieu to the Extra Bass and XE-Series items since this is an attempt by the corporation to simplify some of the confusion around its naming practices. The branding for the ULT Power Series encompasses both models. Each of the speakers below has a bass enhancement feature known as the ULT button to match this new branding.
The typical portable Bluetooth speaker is the ULT Field 1. It is small and available in black, white, gray, and orange, among other hues. The IP67 water, dust, and shock resistance of the housing complements the battery’s approximately 12-hour runtime per charge. Similar to numerous other incredibly portable Bluetooth speakers, this one’s design allows customers to utilize available space by resting it on its side or standing it on end. Moreover, a built-in microphone allows for hands-free calling. Major retail stores will start carrying this $130 speaker later this spring.
In essence, the ULT Field 7 is the Field 1 with more steak. It has two dedicated ULT buttons and is larger but still portable. One offers punchier, more forceful bass in the lower frequency band, while the other offers deeper bass. Additionally, there is a ton of ambient LED lighting that plays in time with the music.
The battery features fast charging capabilities and a superb 30-hour runtime. Because of the included microphone port, it is also marketed as a karaoke machine. Lastly, according to Sony, users may connect up to 100 of these devices to create a loud noise that will genuinely irritate their neighbors. Those neighbors, though, probably reside in an opulent home because a single Field 7 costs $500. Later in the spring, they will go on sale.
As its name implies, the ULT Tower 10 is a Bluetooth tower speaker designed for homes. This speaker has the same two ULT bass boost buttons as the Field 7 and connects wirelessly to TVs and stereos for better audio. Additionally, there is a sound optimization feature that recognizes ambient noise and modifies the settings accordingly.
The speaker has synchronized lighting that is omnidirectional, according to Sony, which “makes listeners feel like they are at a music festival.” For those who want to perform karaoke duets, the speaker comes with one wireless microphone in addition to two microphone inputs. Additionally, listeners can simultaneously connect the Field 7 and up to 100 other compatible speakers. However, when it launches later in the season, this tower speaker will cost you $1,200 because it is a premium one.
