There’s a reason bears hibernate in winter, shivering is not cool and its warm inside. Unlike our furry friends, we humans need social stimulation, good music and the occasional heated game of 30 Seconds to survive the chill. Fortunately, Sony’s ULT POWER SOUND series is here to prove that cold weather and hot parties are not mutually exclusive. Whether you’re hosting a games night, planning a house party, or singing your heart out between bites of boerewors rolls, this speaker range turns your lounge into the spot this winter.
The ultimate winter playlist starts here
When the temperatures drop and load shedding makes you question your life choices, a good sound system can become more essential than a gas heater and emergency candles. That’s where the ULT Field 1 comes in. Compact, waterproof, dustproof and shockproof, this little legend is your portable party starter. Sling it over your shoulder with the multi-way strap and your tunes will go wherever you do. (Available from R2 199.00, at Takealot)
Need something that can fill more than one room with Uncle Waffles and Maphorisa? Meet the ULT Field 3. With Party Connect, you can link multiple speakers for full-on sonic coverage. This also makes it perfect for a games that’s spilling over into multiple rooms because someone’s cousin brought their cousins. The ULT button also means deeper, punchier bass with one press.
House parties without the hassle
Want a bit of ambience with your beats? The ULT Field 5 delivers immersive sound with two bass modes (ULT1 for deep, ULT2 for punchy) and 360° Party Light for just the right glow, whether you’re dancing in your socks or hosting a “Sofa Sunday” wine-and-gossip session.
And for those nights when everyone ends up at your place because “everything’s closed”, the ULT Field 7 is your MVP. With 30 hours of battery life, karaoke and guitar inputs and some seriously expressive lighting, this one can easily handle braais that turn into dance-offs. (R11 999.00, available at Incredible)
For the main stage of your lounge
If your idea of a winter turn-up is less “intimate gathering” and more “let’s cause a mild tremor in the suburbs,” then go straight for the ULT Tower 10. It brings 360° Party Sound, 360° Party Light and karaoke built-in (mic included), plus a TV Sound Booster that turns your weekday Netflix binge into an AV experience worthy of Ster-Kinekor. (R21 999.00, available at Incredible)
Coming soon in June 2025 is the ULT Tower 9AC, Sony’s big bass bruiser. Four tweeters, mid-range speakers, and two different ULT bass modes mean it’s got enough power to turn even the humblest flat into Konka. Just add snacks and people who can harmonise.
Bonus round: Karaoke nights just got a glow-up
Nothing bonds people faster than shared vulnerability and by that, we mean group karaoke. The ULTMIC1, available from June 2025, connects wirelessly to your ULT speaker of choice for crystal-clear vocals. Whether you’re hitting high notes or just shouting the chorus, you’ll sound like a star.
From amapiano-fuelled dance-offs to nostalgic singalongs and ultra-competitive Monopoly rounds, Sony’s ULT POWER SOUND range turns winter from ‘meh’ to memorable. With a speaker for every kind of get-together, and a vibe for every kind of person, it’s the ultimate way to keep warm this season. All you need is snacks, friends, and good vibes.
