Short answer: the Sony ULT Tower 7 for 360-degree sound and wheels, the Audiocase S10 for peak output. The Tower 7 rolls on wheels, claims a 30-hour battery and spreads sound through seven drivers, and at $548 it costs less. The S10 matches the 30-hour battery claim and hits 125dB from dual 10-inch woofers, but it is discontinued, so check current stock and condition before buying.
This pits Sony’s Tower 7, a 360-degree consumer party speaker, against the Audiocase S10, a performer-focused battery PA. The Tower 7 offers seven drivers for 360-degree sound, a claimed 30-hour battery, wheels, IPX4 splash resistance, 10-band EQ and a full RCA/XLR/USB-C/mic input section. The Audiocase S10 offers dual 10-inch woofers rated among the loudest in the category at 125dB max SPL, a removable 30-hour battery and XLR/instrument inputs, though it is now discontinued.
Choose the Tower 7 for wheels for easier transport, immersive 360-degree party sound and a lower price: Its wheels also make it easier to roll between rooms or events. Its 360-degree drivers and ULT1/ULT2/EQ modes suit a living-room-to-backyard party speaker better than a performer-focused PA cabinet. At $548 it also costs less.
Choose the Audiocase S10 for higher peak output, discontinued caveats aside: It is discontinued, so check current stock and condition before buying.
Buy the Sony ULT Tower 7 at $548 if you want a party speaker. Buy the Audiocase S10 at $892 if you want a battery-powered PA speaker instead.
If water resistance matters to you, the Sony ULT Tower 7 at IPX4 (splashing) holds up far better than the Audiocase S10 at no water resistance.
