The Sony ULT TOWER 5 is a large-format wireless party speaker designed for customers who want deep bass, flexible connectivity and the freedom to take their music beyond the living room. Its rechargeable battery provides up to 20 hours of playback, while four carry handles make moving the speaker between locations easier.
At the heart of the speaker is a circular woofer developed for Sony’s ULT POWER SOUND range, supported by two tweeters. The ULT1 and ULT2 sound modes let you change the character of the bass, while FLAT provides a more neutral starting point and the Sony Sound Connect app adds further control over the sound.
This is a speaker aimed at social listening rather than quiet background music. Bluetooth connectivity makes streaming from a phone straightforward, while USB, RCA and XLR connections give you more options when setting up a party or karaoke session.
The ULT TOWER 5 is built around a dedicated circular woofer and two tweeters, giving it a speaker configuration suited to music where bass and vocals both need to make an impact. Sony’s ULT POWER SOUND system provides two dedicated bass modes: ULT1 emphasises deeper bass, while ULT2 gives the low end a punchier character.
You can also select FLAT when you want a more neutral sound, or use the Sony Sound Connect app to access additional control, including a 10-band equaliser. This makes the speaker more adaptable to different types of music and personal preferences rather than locking you into a single sound profile.
Sound Field Optimisation automatically adjusts the speaker’s audio performance according to its surroundings. This is useful when moving between locations, particularly when the speaker is used against a wall or outdoors where the acoustic environment can change considerably.
The ULT TOWER 5 also supports LDAC, AAC and SBC Bluetooth codecs. Bluetooth 5.3 provides the wireless connection, while multipoint pairing allows two Bluetooth devices to remain connected at the same time.
The dedicated circular woofer is designed to produce deeper bass, while the ULT DUCT manages airflow to support the low-frequency output. Two tweeters handle higher frequencies and vocals, giving the speaker a broader range for party music.
Three main sound settings are available directly through the ULT controls: ULT1 for deeper bass, ULT2 for a punchier bass character and FLAT for a more neutral sound. LIVE can also be selected or assigned through the Sony Sound Connect app.
The speaker can adjust its audio performance for different surroundings. That matters when the ULT TOWER 5 is moved between indoor and outdoor settings, where walls, room layout and background noise can affect how music is heard.
Bluetooth makes it straightforward to stream music wirelessly from a compatible device. Multipoint connection adds another useful touch by allowing two Bluetooth devices to be connected at the same time, so different users can take control without repeatedly disconnecting and pairing.
Bluetooth Fast Pair is also supported with compatible Android phones.
The ULT TOWER 5 is equipped with RCA and XLR inputs, an XLR output and a 6.3mm microphone input. This gives you more flexibility than a speaker that relies solely on Bluetooth, particularly when connecting DJ equipment or using a microphone for karaoke.
The Sony Sound Connect app also provides access to party-focused functions, including DJ Control, Party Light and Karaoke features where supported by the current app version.
USB Type-A supports playback from a USB drive, while USB Type-C supports USB Audio from a smartphone or PC. The USB ports can also be used to charge compatible devices, giving you a practical way to keep a phone powered while music is playing.
The rechargeable battery provides up to 20 hours of playback, giving you plenty of flexibility for extended parties or outdoor gatherings. When you need a quick boost, 10 minutes of charging can provide up to 100 minutes of playback.
Battery Care helps protect the battery from overcharging, while the STAMINA setting can extend playback time further by switching off the lighting and ULT POWER SOUND functions.
Four carry handles make the 12.7kg speaker easier to move despite its substantial size. Its IPX4 water resistance also gives you added reassurance around occasional splashes, provided the speaker is positioned vertically and the waterproof port cover is properly closed.
Dynamic party lighting adds a visual element to the speaker, with lighting functions controllable through the Sony Sound Connect app.
The ULT TOWER 5 is particularly well suited to customers looking for a portable party speaker with a strong bass focus, whether for home entertaining, garden gatherings or other social occasions.
It is also a good option if you want more connection choices than Bluetooth alone. The combination of Bluetooth, USB, RCA, XLR and microphone connectivity makes it suitable for customers who want to incorporate DJ equipment, USB music or karaoke into their setup.
Its battery operation and carry handles make it useful for customers who want to move their speaker around rather than leave a traditional home audio system in one position.
The Sony ULT TOWER 5 brings together the features that matter most for a dedicated party speaker: substantial bass control, long battery life, wireless streaming and flexible physical connections.
The ability to change the sound using ULT modes and a 10-band equaliser gives you more control over how your music sounds, while Sound Field Optimisation helps the speaker adapt when you move it between different environments.
For parties, the combination of dynamic lighting, microphone input and DJ connections adds flexibility beyond straightforward music playback. At the same time, Bluetooth multipoint and USB device charging make everyday use convenient.
