The OontZ Angle 3 ULTRA is a budget-friendly Bluetooth speaker and the upgraded version of the OontZ Angle 3. With this generation, OontZ has added voice assistant support for your smartphone's Google Assistant or Siri and increased its water resistance rating to IPX7. It also has a companion app with bass and treble sliders, and a long-lasting battery life of over 20 hours. However, it really struggles to reproduce low-bass, so your audio lacks thump and rumble. It also doesn't get very loud, although there aren't a lot of compression artifacts at max volume.
Our Verdict
The OontZ Angle 3 ULTRA is disappointing for music. While its neutral mid-range ensures vocals and lead instruments are present and clear in your mixes, its sound profile almost completely lacks low-bass. Even though it can play stereo content, its soundstage is a bit uneven and it has narrow directivity, so your audio may not sound clear from all directions. On the upside, it has bass and treble sliders so you can customize its sound. Even though it can't get very loud, there aren't a lot of compression artifacts at max volume, so your audio sounds clean and pure at max volume.
- Over 20 hours of continuous playtime.
- Lacks low-bass.
- Small and narrow directivity.
The OontZ Angle 3 ULTRA is poor for movies. It really struggles to reproduce low-bass, so sound effects in your favorite movies lack thump and boom. While it can play stereo content, its directivity is narrow, so your audio may not sound as clear and immersive from all directions. It also has high latency on Android, which could disrupt your experience if you're streaming video. That said, even though it can't get very loud, there isn't a lot of compression at max volume. Its latency on iOS devices is lower, but note that some apps and devices compensate for latency differently.
- Over 20 hours of continuous playtime.
- Lacks low-bass.
- Small and narrow directivity.
The OontZ Angle 3 ULTRA is alright for podcasts. The speaker is portable, thanks to its battery-powered, Bluetooth design, and it has a balanced mid-range, so vocal-centric content is fairly clear and accurate. However, a dip in the treble range can make speech sound a little dark and veiled. You also won't be able to connect it to more than one device at a time or connect multiple units for multi-room use.
- Over 20 hours of continuous playtime.
- Well-built, portable design.
- Doesn't support multi-device pairing.
- Small and narrow directivity.
The OontZ Angle 3 ULTRA is poor for voice assistant support. It doesn't have any built-in voice assistant capabilities, so it just uses the system on your paired smartphone. As part of our methodology, we use recorded voice commands to test the speaker. However, the speaker didn't respond to some of these commands, even when there isn't any ambient noise present. While it responded to a normal speaking voice, this isn't part of our testing process.
- Over 20 hours of continuous playtime.
- Small and narrow directivity.
The OontZ Angle 3 ULTRA is fair for outdoor use. It's portable, has a long-lasting battery life, and is rated IPX7 for water resistance, although we don't currently test for it. While it doesn't get very loud, there aren't a lot of compression artifacts at max volume, so your audio should be relatively clear and pure. Unfortunately, the speaker lacks low-bass so genres like EDM and hip-hop lack thump and rumble. There are bass and treble sliders in the companion app to help you tweak its sound though.
- Over 20 hours of continuous playtime.
- IPX7 rating for water resistance.
- Well-built, portable design.
- Lacks low-bass.
- Doesn't support multi-device pairing.
- Small and narrow directivity.
