Same family: the Sony ULT Field 1 (smaller model, rated 3.1/5), the Sony ULT Field 7 (smaller model, rated 3.2/5), the Sony ULT Tower 10 (smaller model, ranked lower, rated 3.9/5), the Sony ULT Field 3 (smaller model, rated 3.4/5), the Sony ULT Field 5 (smaller model, rated 3.5/5), the Sony ULT Tower 5 (smaller model, rated 4.5/5), the Sony ULT Tower 7 (smaller model, rated 4.7/5) and the Sony ULT Tower 9 (smaller model, ranked lower, rated 4.2/5). See every Sony XB and ULT generation.

Pros: A very loud party speaker, with three big woofers for huge bass at large events. AudioTribe measured 110.6dBC at roughly 6m outdoors with Flat EQ and ULT1 enabled, 4.4dB above the JBL Partybox Ultimate in the same setup. Its three 11-inch woofers held about 110dB from 40-100Hz; Sony also provides 10-band EQ, Sound Field Optimization, RCA and XLR inputs, USB-C, a mic input, and XLR output.

Cons: The same comparison found it 1.2dB behind the JBL in A-weighted loudness and weaker below 40Hz. At 56.3kg (124lb) and AC-only, this is a wheeled event speaker rather than a portable battery model.
