Ult tower 9 is a beast! The sound travels really far and clear. I wanted to see how clear and far I can hear it so I walked 3 houses over and I can still hear it clearly.. I dont recall the volume level we had it set at but it wasn’t at 100%. Doesn’t have the bass/low of JBLs but I think the balance and clarity is way better. One thing I do like about the JBLs is the removable battery’s though.. But overall I do like the Sony better for sound.. You won’t go wrong with either one though. Enjoy your next speaker!
I just got one! Love it! By the way, it weigh 65 pounds so taking outside is going to be a challenge. Anyway, it is loud and well balanced. There are bassier speakers out there for this price point but this one has great balanced sound quality. By the way, I am a hip hop and dancehall reggae listener and this speaker has what I need.
After testing this speaker and comparing it with other party-sized speakers in our inventory, I can confidently say it’s one of the bassiest speakers we’ve tried. Enabling *ULT Mode 2* takes the low end even further, it literally shakes our testing room haha. I see that you also like the Sony Ult wear, so this speaker is right down your alley 😁
Sony ult5 refurbished from secondpity website for $84. Best bang for the buck and it is under $100. They only have the white one in stock, the black ult5 is oos.
