Your comment that you cannot pair two Sony ULT Field 1 in stereo is absolutely wrong and I should think you’d be a bit embarrassed that something so obviously wrong has lived on your site for so long. Rather undermines your credibility as a reputable technical source. What else ought we assume you’ve gotten wrong?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The main review states that you can pair two ULT FIELD 1 speakers in stereo, but our side-by-sides are written separately, so it appears the error is limited to this one side-by-side only. While we do our best to ensure we uphold high standards for accuracy, with many checks and balances, there are still rare instances where something slips through the cracks, so I appreciate you flagging one such instance. We’ve since amended the text to this side-by-side.

Have you been able to retest the JBL’s latency with updated firmware? I currently have the Sony and while it’s great, I would appreciate the ability to fine tune the sound signature a bit. That’s why the JBL interests me. Also, with the JBL’s low freq raised to max, how does it compare with Sony’s Ult mode? Thanks for the article! Edit: Is there a way for me to test latency easily using my MacBook or android phone?

Hi there, Thank you for your questions, I did a quick check on our Flip 7 from inventory and it looks like the new FW update is for setting up ‘stereo group’, and not optimizing latency. Regarding comparing to Ult 7, we currently only measure EQ presets and not custom EQ for speakers, however I will bring this up to our test designer and hopefully we will address this in the future. And for latency testing, we have specialized software to measure the latency. But you can also check it by playing an ‘audio video sync test’ from Youtube on your device, and see if the click is late or not. Cheers
