Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am utterly impressed with this speaker. It is truly one of the most versatile speakers I have ever reviewed, with more capability than I think 99% of users will ever need to make full use of! It checks the obvious box by offering simple, straightforward Bluetooth connectivity right out of the box. I was able to connect my phone to the speaker via Bluetooth, and right away I could enjoy my tunes without any hiccups! For more advanced users, it has Microphone/Guitar inputs (1/4” jack), XLR inputs, RCA Audio Input for mixers and CD players etc., and USB-A and USB-C ports for charging devices and or hooking up media storage devices like flash drives! However you intend to deliver audio from this speaker, it will let you do so! The sound of this ULT Tower 7 speaker is phenomenal. One of the highest compliments I can give it is that it succeeds at being good for both low-volume and, of course, high-volume listening! I enjoy it not being an overwhelming source of audio and music when my wife and I are just spending a quiet evening in our living room after our daughter has gone to bed, listening to some music on rather low volume. When it comes time to turn up the volume, WOW, just wow. It makes our $2000 surround sound soundbar, bass, and rear speakers sound dull in our living room! I am in awe of how much range and quality Sony was able to get from this speaker through its design. At loud volumes on the ULT 1 setting (which emphasizes deep bass), we are able to get some impressive low frequencies captured on classic dubstep songs like Bangarang by Skrillex and Sirah as well as First of the Year (Equinox). On the FLAT preset which we can swap to simply by pressing the ULT button on the front, we are able to get a more level listening experience that is better suited to our quiet evening music sessions. Between the 4 Presets in this speaker that you can get to in the Sony Connect App or manually on the speaker itself by scrolling through the ULT button changes, you can really complement almost any audio experience you would want to use a speaker like this for. I should mention that the Sony Connect App lets you customize tons of features, including whether you want to remove one of the ULT button settings or have all 4 going! At 50 pounds and more than a couple of feet tall, this speaker is no lightweight. It has some built-in handles and wheels, but I would have really liked to see an extendable luggage-style handle, as some portable speakers in this size range offer. There just isn’t a really easy way to grip this when you are rolling along, even on flat terrain. Truly not a big deal but just don’t expect to wheel this down to the edge of a lake or something on a dirt path with ease. As for portability, the battery life of this speaker is impressive, and there are even features in the Connect App to help you do things like trigger STAMINA mode, which tames down the sound effects and lighting settings to extend your battery life further. Additionally, there is a battery care option that I think is a great add that allows you to reduce the maximum charge that this allowed to charge to (similar to what many phones and tablets now have) which may allow the portable battery on this speaker to have a greater lifespan overall if you are planning on vacillating between keeping it plugged in a lot versus unplugged for more portable use away from wall outlets. One random little gripe I have, speaking of charging this speaker, is the power cord. I really wish they could have made the charging port just a little larger and utilized a more standard barrel plug charger that tends to be pretty standard in the industry for numerous devices from gaming consoles to PC power supplies. I have tons of these cords around my house and having to keep track of this more specific and less popular cord from Sony seems like a bit of a miss to me. Overall, this speaker is a phenomenal electronic accessory. It is hard to convey just how powerful and room-filling (if not yard-filling) the audio this speaker can deliver. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy this and would even one day consider two of them, since these Sony speakers have the easy Party Chain feature that allows you to have them hook up for synchronized audio across multiple devices! Altogether, this is a 5/5 star speaker!

I have been using the Sony ULT TOWER 7 for about one week now, and overall I am very happy with it. I was looking for a good party speaker with strong bass, good sound, lighting, karaoke support, DJ connectivity, and the number of input options and more features than a regular Bluetooth speaker. The sound quality is really good. The bass is deep and powerful, especially when using ULT1 or ULT2. ULT1 gives more deep bass and ULT2 gives more punch and power. For normal music, I usually keep it on FLAT or LIVE depending on what I am listening to. The speaker gets loud enough to fill a large room without making the sound feel weak. One thing I did not expect to like this much is the wheels and handles. This is a big and heavy speaker, but moving it around is actually easy because of the wheels. I have moved it between rooms and outside without much trouble. You still need some space to store it, but the portability is much better than I expected for a speaker this size. I also like all the different ports. It has XLR, RCA, USB-A, USB Type-C, and Mic/Guitar inputs. I have access to a DJ mixer, and connecting it gives me more options for parties and music. The microphone and guitar inputs are also useful for karaoke or small live performances. This is much more flexible than a regular Bluetooth speaker. I downloaded the Sony Sound Connect app, and setup was pretty easy. The app lets me change the sound modes, adjust the 10-band EQ, and control the lighting. I spent some time trying the different EQ settings, and it is nice to have the option to adjust the sound based on what I like. The lighting looks really good during a party. It adds a nice atmosphere without being too much. I also tried the Party Chain feature, and it is a nice option if you have other compatible Sony speakers and want to make the sound bigger. The design and color look good and feel premium. It does not look cheap even though it has a lot of party lighting. The controls are also easy to understand, and I like the ULT button because I can quickly change the bass or adjust the volume. Installation and setup were simple. Bluetooth connected easily to my phone, and getting the app running did not take much time. Connecting the DJ mixer and other devices was also straightforward. For value for money, this is not a cheap speaker, but you are getting a lot for the price. If you only need a speaker for playing music at home, I would probably look at a smaller and less expensive option. But if you want something for parties, karaoke, DJ use, outdoor gatherings, or live music, the extra features are worth considering. After one week of using it, my favorite things are the powerful bass, loud sound, wheels, multiple ports, DJ mixer support, lighting, and the Sound Connect app. The only downside for me is that it is a large speaker and takes up some space. Overall, I am happy with the purchase. It feels more like a complete party sound system than just a Bluetooth speaker, and it has been fun to use.

I have been using the Sony ULT Tower 7 Speaker for a few days, and this speaker truly rocks. Setup was extremely easy. I plugged it into the wall to charge, downloaded the Sony Sound Connect app, connected it to my device, and I was ready to go. The sound is powerful and clear, fills a large space, and the bass has impressive depth that I can genuinely feel. The Sound Connect app is one of my favorite features because it gives me extensive control directly from my phone. I can customize the 10-band equalizer, adjust the lighting effects, manage Party Chain, control karaoke features, and fine-tune the overall listening experience. I also like having multiple sound modes. ULT1 delivers deep bass, ULT2 provides a punchier bass response, FLAT offers a balanced sound, and LIVE creates a more immersive, concert-like experience. The 360-degree sound performance is excellent. The combination of a large woofer, mid-range speakers, and front and rear tweeters distributes sound throughout the room, making this speaker ideal for parties and larger gatherings. The synchronized party lighting adds another dimension to the experience, especially when entertaining. Connecting a microphone was also incredibly simple, and the microphone sound quality is excellent. The wide selection of connections makes the ULT Tower 7 extremely versatile. It includes XLR, RCA, USB Type-C, microphone and guitar inputs, making it suitable for karaoke, live instruments, DJ equipment, computers, and other audio sources. Despite its size and power, Sony has also made portability practical. The four integrated carrying handles and upgraded rear wheels make moving the speaker considerably easier. Its IPX4 water resistance also provides added confidence when using it for outdoor gatherings. Battery life is another major advantage, offering up to 30 hours of playback. I also appreciate the fast-charging capability, which can provide up to three hours of playback from only a 10-minute charge. Overall, the Sony ULT Tower 7 is an outstanding speaker that combines powerful bass, room-filling sound, excellent connectivity, extensive app-based customization, portability, and impressive battery life. Whether I am listening to music, hosting a party, using a microphone for karaoke, or connecting additional equipment, it delivers a powerful and highly enjoyable experience. I am very impressed with it and would definitely recommend it.

I absolutely love Sony's BT speakers. I have multiple ones from the ULT field speakers to other tower party speakers and they all are the life of the parties. The new redesigned ULT Tower 7 is no exception and looks/sounds just as amazing. This tower, while still being at a beefy 50+lbs is to me a mid size vs an even more massive sized full tower they offer. No worries about mobility as the design has "handles" on 4 edges and also wheels on the base. I would highly recommend downloading and using the Sony Sound Connect app to unlock a myriad of features vs just connecting it directly via BT or RCA etc. While there are plenty of controls already built physically into the speaker itself, the app can change sound modes, access to custom EQ setting and lighting controls. Also with the app, for me when I 1st turned on the ULT Tower, it paired instantly. Battery life claims up to 30 hours and so far while listening for a few hrs a day daily, I still don't have a low battery warning. Even still, charge time is decent at up to 3 hrs to a full charge from 0. Inputs are plentiful with lots of options in the rear of the speaker. 1/4" jack for Mics or Guitars and make the ULT an amp, RCA inputs for TVs, Consoles, Vinyl players (etc), USB A and C for direct connections or use them as charging ports, BT and XLR for all you DJs. Performance is amazing for all types of music. The ULT badge on the front of the speaker isn't for show and is actually a button/knob. Press it to change between deep bass to even more powerful bass to Flat/Live. You can also rotate it for volume controls. With my custom EQ settings, my music always sounds perfect no matter what genre is playing.

50 pounds of heart thumping sound.... Wow.... Sony has been developing these speakers and they keep delivering. I have an ULT Field and this ULT Tower just ups that anty. Rear plug ins allow for Mic, mic in (multi 3 pin XLR type of plug, standard mic jack, RCA LR jacks, USB a and USB c. This will not take a guitar. Also it will not connect to any older ULT type of speakers. I tried and looked up if it was compatible but they do not connect to each other for party type of connections. No connection for guitar so be aware of that. I did not want to try and plug in my guitar to the mic as it might blow out the speaker due to imbalance in gain. So connecting via Bluetooth is fine with phone and PC. I pulled up my DJ software and it did just fine ... Bluetooth didn't set to have lag. If you want to eliminate lag do direct hardwire plug in. Bass is super deep with the ULT button. Also just the shear volume is huge.... You can probably go deaf if you run this this long and loud enough. Also another good thing is that this can be operated by battery. So you don't need to keep it plugged in. The 50 pounds is heavy .... When it arrived at my front door I had to shlep it into the house and follow the directions to get it out of the box. So be aware of the size of the speaker that you buy. Good thing is it has wheels to roll around. Just be careful as I almost dropped it a few times getting it over bumps and stuff. Lights are a great plus. Also the Sony connect app is easy to use. Lots of features and options to pick from. Overall great party speaker. Super loud. Super portable. Lots of connection options.

The Sony ULT TOWER 7 is phenomenal, turning any gathering into an instant party. It pumps out crisp, clear sound matched with massive, room-shaking bass. Sound & Controls ⚬ Massive Bass Modes: The redesigned ULT button on the front lets you toggle sound profiles on the fly. A quick tap switches between ULT1 (deep, rumbling sub-bass) and ULT2 (punchy, high-sound-pressure bass that fills the room), confirmed by audible DJ "scratch" cues. It also includes FLAT and LIVE concert listening modes. ⚬ Tactile Dial & Lights: Twisting the ULT button adjusts the volume level, which reflects directly on the integrated speaker lighting. Connectivity & App Customization ⚬ Rock-Solid Bluetooth: The wireless connection is completely reliable with zero drops, supporting two simultaneous source connections so two people can share DJ duties. ⚬ Sony | Sound Connect App: Fine-tunes custom EQ profiles, switches sound modes, and controls dynamic lighting effects straight from a phone. ⚬ Versatile I/O: Beyond wireless, it features dual 1/4-inch mic/guitar inputs, professional XLR inputs for DJ mixers or mics, standard RCA jacks for turntables, and USB ports for playback and device charging. ⚬ Party Chain: Supports wireless syncing across up to 100 compatible Auracast speakers for both synchronized audio and lights. The Sony ULT TOWER 7 is a powerhouse party speaker that delivers crisp audio and massive bass alongside versatile physical inputs (XLR, RCA, 1/4-inch) and full app customization. With reliable dual-device Bluetooth, tactile ULT button controls, and synchronized Auracast lighting and sound, it easily anchors everything from casual gatherings to full-scale events.

I got this unit because I needed a slightly bigger unit as a primary loudspeaker that I use for announcing. I have an older Sony unit that I like, and I have a few bigger outdoor settings that it used to not quite fill. This setup was easy. I already had the sound connect app from previous sony products. This was found and synced easy. You have a lot of options for pre programed equalizers, and the dial on the front for sound has a push button to access some pre set equilizer bass punch settings. The speaker setup is very excellent vs my smaller older unit in the fact this has rear facing theaters to give a fuller room 360 degree sound. I can place this a bit further from me and know people behind it can hear clearly. The addional party sounds are fun, and light and color controls work well. I did hook a guitar to this for fun, and it works well as an amp for that. The sound is well balance for the most part when it comes to music. It does have a really good deep end, but keeps the well know clean trebel that I known sony to have and I expect. Blutooth works well, and i have connected my record player also, this did great with that since it has rca connection, something my old one did not. The price point is competative with mid premium systems like this. I do reccomend this item.
