JBL Flip 6 vs Sony ULT FIELD 3

The JBL Flip 6 and the Sony ULT FIELD 3 are both portable mono speakers. While the JBL is more portable, the Sony performs better in most other respects. Weighing in at 0.5 kg, the JBL is small and lightweight enough to slip into a deep coat pocket, whereas the Sony might require a backpack or tote bag. The Sony speaker has a flatter default sound, though, with a more prominent bass and a much longer continuous battery life. It also has voice assistant integration if you own an Apple or Android device. The JBL has slightly better directivity, though, and compresses less at max volume. This makes it a better choice if you're unfussed about the sound and want a simple, portable speaker to play podcasts or music on while you explore the outdoors.
