As wireless karaoke mics go, this Sony ULT Wireless Microphone set is a great product, and if you have a good loud Bluetooth speaker with a 1/4-inch input, these mics will turn it into an instant party!
Pros:
• Great build quality
• Good, clear sound
• Plug and play — it just works, instantly
• USB-C charging and long battery life
Cons:
• A bit of handling noise when you bump it
• No carrying case
I've been having a great time with these mics at home for a week or so, and I've found them to be perfect for karaoke at home.
I'm using the set with my Headrush PA speaker, which has two 1/4-inch inputs. I've got a Bluetooth receiver plugged into one input and the Sony ULT microphone receiver plugged into the other.
When I first set this up, I paired my phone to the Bluetooth and used karaoke tracks with lyrics from YouTube. I set the level on the mic input and got to singing. It was perfect from the start!
Singing with a partner reveals the ULT's volume-matching, which works very well to keep both singers' levels equalized.
I am very pleased with the sound from the ULT mics. It is clear and responsive to the singer's distance from the microphone. I have noticed some noise from handling the microphones, such as when you move them between hands or bump them, but it's not bad.
The materials feel really solid, and I do appreciate that Sony put extra thought into the durability—even encouraging you to "drop the mic." The only think I think this set it missing is a padded carrying case so they can be easily transported anywhere there's a speaker.
All-in-all, I am very pleased with this set. My house is going to be the wireless karaoke palace this summer!

The Ult Mic wireless microphones is a very easy to use set of Mics with super easy setup and excellent sound quality!
Design
This set includes two, very standard looking, wireless, handheld microphones, and a wireless transceiver that plugs into a 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) audio jack. Each of the three items is charged via USB C and a USB A to USB C cable is included for charging. Sony claims 20 hours of battery life on a charge, and I have no reason to doubt that claim. The handheld mics are a comfortable weight, and again, feel very much like any other handheld mic I've used. I've run sound for different types of events many times over the years, though I don't do so on a regular basis now. The mics are made to be durable as well, with silicone in them to protect internal components from damage due to drops. There's a light on the transceiver that blinks when it's on with no mics connected. Turn on at least one mic and it will be on solid. The mics have a light on the bottom, with the USB port, to show the charging status. There's another light on the mics where the power button is that clearly shows if it's on or off.
Setup
The setup could not be easier! Just charge the mics and the transceiver, plugin the transceiver to a speaker, or other device's, Mic input. Press and hold the power button on the transceiver to turn it on. Turn on one or both mics and start using them! I have had no issues with the setup, connecting or use. You really just plug in and the mics work. There is no app needed, no configuration to do, no settings to change! They just work!
Features
Besides the simple setup and the fact that it works with anything you can plug in a mic to with a 1/4" audio jack, there are some features it has that seem to work very well! There is background noise reduction, improvements to the sound to make voices sound natural and balance levels between two people singing for improved duets and harmonies. It may do more, all I know is vocals come through sounding very good! Having two mics on one mic input is a pretty great feature too, I think. Also, I mentioned it earlier but there is silicone inside to protect internal components - so they're made to be durable.
Sound Quality
What I found is that connected to my large Bluetooth speaker, voices from these mics sound extremely clear and natural. The usual "s" and "p" sounds that tend to come through loudly or accentuated seem to be automatically softened. Vocals just sound great in general and the levels sound great with two voices together! I also haven't heard any feedback! I'm not sure how they did that but even when the mic is close to the front of the speaker and I'm singing into it, there was no feedback. I'm not sure if that's a feature in my speaker but I'm guessing it's the mic. For systems I tested with I turned the trim up to about 3/4 and then volume was great. The voice volume levels are excellent and vocals are clear and natural!
Summary
The Ult Mic set could be a total game changer for any Karaoke night! I've had a great time singing at home with my family using these mics, and even by myself, which I don't regularly do. The fact that the set let's you connect two mics in one mic input is great and then the sound quality, it's just excellent! I think this set is an amazing value if you have a speaker with a mic input on it, you should consider the Ult Mic wireless microphones!!!

Although things are a lot different now than it used to be when karaoke machines were a big hit everywhere, people still like singing even when it’s somewhat embarrassing just for the fun of it. That’s my case since my voice never was something to brag about when it comes to singing despite the fact my talking voice is still envied by many. But I have a 16-year-old who doesn’t care as she just gets a laugh out of it and has fun singing with me.
My experience with these mics so far has been better than I expected. One of my biggest complaints about mics designed for karaoke is that they tend to sound like something you’d buy at a dollar store. But I’m glad to report that these sound high quality, more like a professional type. I believe that part of the reason for that is that it probably has a built-in noise reduction system. I say that because even when we were singing outside while there was a moderate wind going around, our voices sounded completely natural as if there was nothing else going on. We would have had a completely different and bad experience with other similar microphones.
I wish I had the ULT POWER SOUND speaker series as it seems that the experience would be even better with them, but I do have other Sony speakers that worked nicely with these microphones. They will also work with just about any speaker with a standard connector because it comes with a wireless receiver. Also, the range is spectacular. I’m guessing it will be over 100 feet or so. At least, it worked even when the receiver was in one of our gazebos and we were singing from the other. They’re about 100 feet apart.
After a Friday afternoon playing with them for over 4 hours, then a Saturday for at least 3 hours, and today, Sunday, I hear my daughter using them with her friend for the last two hours if not longer than that, I can say that the built-in battery seems to last a very long time. Over 10 hours for sure. Better yet, it’s easy to charge.
On the downside, they are significantly heavier than I was expecting. Not unbearably heavy, mut not light by any means. I believe it is because of the higher quality internal components. The bottom part is made of hard plastic. I’m not sure it would survive a drop higher than 4 feet or so. The top part seems to be made of some sort of metal to protect the mic itself and it would probably survive okay. Chances are the top would reach the floor first. Overall, they are great microphones for what it is designed for. I would say even beyond karaoke use.

I recently got my hands on the ULT MIC kit, and it’s been an absolute game-changer for my karaoke parties, especially when paired with my ULT POWER SOUND speaker. This wireless system is ideal for anyone who loves to add their voice to the mix and perform on the go.
From the start, the setup was a breeze. The kit comes with two wireless mics and a receiver, and the plug-and-play experience truly lives up to the promise—just plug the receiver into a mic input on a compatible speaker (one with a quarter-inch mic jack), and you’re instantly ready to rock. I love that the mics are quick chargeable; with just a 10-minute charge giving around 120 minutes of use and up to 20 hours of overall battery life, I never have to worry about them dying mid-party.
The sound quality is stellar. The ULT MIC is optimized for bright, natural vocal pickup, which means my singing feels effortless and my harmonies come out smooth and clear. Even in environments with potential noise interference—like a breezy outdoor setting or a busy café—the noise reduction design does a great job minimizing unwanted sounds such as breath or wind.
One standout feature is the Duet Assist. When I sing duets with a friend, the system automatically balances our volumes perfectly, ensuring both voices are equally prominent. That feature really elevates the performance, even if our individual vocals aren’t perfectly matched.
What also impresses me is the durability of these mics. A built-in silicone damper protects the internal microphone module and minimizes damage from accidental drops—a definite plus for someone who’s always on the move. And with three saved device connections available, switching between my different devices is super seamless, whether I’m at my desk, in a coworking space, or out on the go.
In summary, the ULT MIC kit is perfect for anyone looking to turn any space into an impromptu karaoke lounge. It pairs perfectly with ULT POWER SOUND speakers, offers enhanced clarity for a premium vocal experience, and is built to withstand the fun and frenzy of any party. Highly recommended for digital nomads and karaoke enthusiasts alike!

A party just isn't a party unless some karaoke is going on. You just can't go wrong with a little bit of karaoke going on.
We thought about buying a set of microphones for whenever we had a party, but just never went for it. Friends and family were always requesting karaoke, and we always gave them the "nect time," but never really did it. Well, the wait is done and we finally got out hands on the Sony - ULT POWER SOUND series ULT MIC Wireless Microphone.
These are a hit at parties now! The sounds quality and ease of connections are incredible. They come with a receiver for the microphones that will allow you to use just about any speaker with a microphone input. The microphones themselves are really lightweight and easy to handle. A major plus is wireless connectivity ALL of the time. No more having to lug around long cables like the old days.
The Sony - ULT POWER SOUND series ULT MIC Wireless Microphones were a hit our last party, and will continue to be into the future.
If you are looking into making parties way more fun, a set of Sony - ULT POWER SOUND series ULT MIC Wireless Microphones will do the trick.
I higly recomment them.

I don't know where to even begin. These microphones are amazing and really leveled up my Karaoke game. My wife and I host a karaoke part with our friends twice a month and these worked well as a duet. Battery life was good. We've put 5 hours on these and haven't even needed to recharge. Because of the wireless capability, we are able to have a much cleaner setup. What I enjoyed the most was the noise cancellation/ voice isolation of these. As many people can attest when singing Karaoke, nothing is more infuriating than picking up background noise, each other, etc whatever hardware/software magic is done here is doing a great job at isolating the vocals and makes for a pleasant experience. The build quality of these units is great. Solid grip, metal everywhere, robust buttons create an experience that is reassuring that they won't break if dropped. One of the microphones was dropped from ~4 feet and sustained no visible damage externally and worked as intended with no noticeable damage to the quality of the voice. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking to level up their game/setup.

The Sony - ULT Power Sound wireless microphone set has a receiver with a 1/4" TS (mono) plug and 2 wireless microphones. A USB A to USB C charging cable is included. Instructions are sparse, consisting of a QR code (that wasn't working) and 3 other pictures. In spite of being a bit worried about the sparse instructions, the 3 pictures were all that was necessary. After charging all 3 units, I plugged the receiver into my speaker, pressed the power button, turned on the speaker, both microphones and was up and running. The first thing I noticed was that the microphones were quite directional. They did not feedback when around the speaker which is always an issue when those not accustomed to sound systems are given a microphone. There is a narrow field for the speaker/singer to utilize for optimum sound which takes some getting used to but really helps prevent extraneous sounds and feedback. My experience with microphones having an on/off switch has been quite negative because they can cause speaker damaging pops. Sony has managed to have a switch that does not seem to pop when activated while the speaker is on! The sound is quality is great with crisp highs, great midrange and booming lows. The microphones are shock resistant. Both microphones operate through the single receiver. There is programming that helps balance duets when using both microphones that I have yet to test. We don't technically do karaoke, what we do is sing along with recorded music and music videos at our lakehouse. These microphones have a far superior sound to the wireless karaoke microphone system I have. This is a great upgrade to our sing alongs.
