      Hello Angela!
      Thanks for sharing such a positive review of the ULT TOWER 9. It is fantastic to know that the ULT TOWER 9 is proving to be such a perfect party solution for you!

      To make those parties even better, don't forget the ULT Power Sound button, which lets you dial up two different levels of massive bass. Plus, with the 360° Party Light feature, you can completely change the atmosphere and the Mic/Guitar input lets you take the stage yourself for a little karaoke!

      Thank you for putting your trust in Sony!
      Best regards,

    Very capable speaker. We got 2 for use in stereo pair outside with the projector and for parties around the pool. There are issues with the app sometimes not allowing me to connect two together. That would give me 4 stars but the speakers pair buttons work just fine so it’s no issue. The speaker resets everything to defaultbsonifnyou need less bass and set the bass eq lower through the app you will have to do it every time. Will update when we ensure the optical out in the projector works with the speakers being in stereo pair mode No other speaker has optical out and we were sold on the 25 hour battery functions

    So far so great! The sound is clean. The bass in the ult 1 & ult 2 id more than enough. The battery life is very accurate; but all depends on how loud you listen. To be honest, I can’t turn it more than 30% because it’s loud and clear enough for me. We’ve been singing karaoke out from the thing for 2 plus hours every now and then. I like it a lot and glad didn’t go with the 520 Partybox; too much bass.

      Thanks for that 5-star review, SonyvsJbl!

      We are pleased to hear that the ULT TOWER 9 has been working great and that you find the bass in our previous units, the ULT 1 and ULT 2, to be more than enough.

      Thank you for highlighting the accurate battery life. Our development team worked hard to provide a party unit capable of playing all day long with no problems at all, and we are so happy to know we achieved that goal.

      The ULT TOWER 9 is designed to deliver high-quality sound even at high volume levels. It's great to hear that 30% volume was enough for you to enjoy your music and that the karaoke session was a complete success!

      Thank you so much for choosing Sony for your karaoke parties. We hope you continue to enjoy your music!

    Like what the title say. You can't really get better sound quality for the price. I've had JBL, bose and other home theater equipment for comparison and the Sony one is a league above in terms of music quality and impact. It gives you the feel of a much higher quality dedicated tower speakers with amplifiers. Bass is surprising for its size. Added bonus for mic inputs and optical.

It truly makes our day to know that its "music quality and impact" and "surprising bass" are a "league above" what you've experienced with other brands, giving you the feel of high-quality dedicated tower speakers. We poured a lot into ensuring this speaker delivers a powerful and immersive audio experience, so your feedback confirming its strength in music quality, impact, and even the added versatility of mic inputs and optical connection, is incredibly validating.

    I have only bought Sony products over the years, they are always reliable and I have never been disappointed Sony never ceases to impress, unless space is an issue due to it being quite “bulky”, I highly recommend this product, I currently owned the XP 700 and I’ve had it for the past two years and loved it, But this Ult Tower 9 is on a whole other level! The bass is impressive “it will Definitely will shake the walls in your house” mids and highs are very clear and pronounced at any volume & can handle any genre of music you throw at it! And it sounds even better when paired with my XP700…… I highly recommend this product… definitely worth the money!!

      Thank you for your fantastic and incredibly loyal review, JaydenH!

      We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your experience with Sony products has spanned years of reliability, and we sincerely appreciate you making us your consistent choice for home audio. Your loyalty means the world to us!

      It's wonderful to hear how much the new SRS-ULT900 ULT TOWER 9 has impressed you, even coming from an owner of the beloved XP700. To know you consider it "on a whole other level" is a massive compliment to our engineering team.

      We designed the ULT TOWER 9 to deliver precisely the kind of powerful audio you describe—the impressive bass that "will definitely shake the walls" and the clear, pronounced mids and highs that handle any music genre. We're also delighted you discovered how incredible it sounds when paired with your XP700!

      We appreciate your honest note about its size, and we're glad that despite being "bulky," you still highly recommend it and find it to be "definitely worth the money."

      Thank you again for your strong recommendation and for being such a valued Sony customer!

    Hit of the 4th of July Gathering

    Hesitant based on the price, but once heard the speaker in store while on vacation, wife was sold. No surprise when we returned home and preparing for our 4th of July gathering, this speaker was top of list. Listened to the the smaller speaker of the series, but did not get the same bass and vocal sound. Wife stood on her 1st decision to go with this speaker and it did not disappoint. The speaker filled our entire house and yard with tunes for the 2 day party. Bass was deep where you could feel it, but did not distort any vocals. 2 sets of guests asked about the speaker as they were amazed at the sound. In the future, may purchase another, not that its at all needed, but just becase..lol.

      Hello TooLegit,

      That's an absolutely fantastic review!

      We love hearing stories like this. It's great to hear you're enjoying your ULT Tower 9 and that it has truly impressed both you and your wife, especially after that "in-store" vacation experience!

      We're thrilled it was a top priority for your 4th of July gathering, and it's great to hear that the deeper bass and vocal clarity of the Tower 9 really stood out compared to the smaller models in the series. Your wife's excellent "first decision" definitely paid off!

      It brings us great satisfaction to hear that the speaker was able to fill your entire house and yard with such rich, undistorted bass for a two-day party. When guests remarked on how "amazed they were by the sound," it's the highest form of praise!

      Thanks for choosing Sony!

      Sincerely,
      Jenn. Sony_US
