Sony Party Speaker Deal: Save $100 Off the ULT Tower 7

Sony’s ULT speakers are at their lowest price ever. These outdoor party speakers are some of the best-sounding you’ll find, and include options like the ULT Tower 7 (our pick for deejaying) and the ULT Field 7 (our pick for best compact party speaker).

Whether it’s tunes for a backyard party, an impromptu karaoke session with friends, or announcements during a kids’ softball game, one of these Sony speakers is more than capable of handling the job.

Sony ULT Tower 7 for $548 ($102 Off)

Sony offers several party speakers to choose from, but we like the ULT Tower 7 because it hits the sweet spot in sound quality, price, and features—especially if you fancy yourself a DJ, thanks to its multiple inputs and Bluetooth. It pumps out 420 watts of sound output, enough for a small stage. With a 30-hour battery life, it can run from day to night. Plug in a mic, and you have got a makeshift PA system for your soapbox.

The bass might not rival a club, but your body will feel it when Kendrick Lamar’s “HUMBLE.” comes on. Our reviewer Chris Haslam wishes it had a retractable handle. It’s also heavy and big, so it isn’t something you want to move around often.

Other Sony ULT Speaker Deals

Calling this the baby brother of the Tower 7 is a bit misleading—it's just as big. It has a 300-watt output, which is plenty for indoor and outdoor use. It has the same wired and wireless connectivity as the Tower 7, but it costs $200 less during the sale. Note that it only has 20 hours of battery life, so make sure there's a power outlet nearby if you plan to go long.

The ULT Field 7 is our pick for the best compact party speaker. Compared to its Tower siblings and other party boxes, it certainly is. Reviewer Chris Haslam calls it the ideal speaker for a dorm or apartment that you can take outdoors. For a speaker of this size, it has great sound and bass. Its IP67 rating means it resists dust and water and can even handle a quick accidental dip in the pool. Besides Bluetooth, there are inputs for a mic or guitar. It's not the biggest discount, but you can save a little over $50.

This is for when you want to crank the dial to 11. It has everything that the Tower 7 has plus more. It is huge, heavy, and needs to be plugged in to work, but it can output 2,150 watts, which, quite frankly, is scary. It wouldn't be out of place in a small club, but it might have your neighbors calling the police. If you do have use for this kind of power, Best Buy is knocking $300 off the MSRP.

When you want something more intimate and less powerful, the ULT Field 1 is Sony's portable, waterproof Bluetooth speaker for the beach, campsite, or backyard. It's not the cheapest we've seen—it has dipped below $100 in the past—but with electronics increasing in price across the board, this could be new low.
