Explains the connect 2 Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 procedure, so that each one plays the same audio content from the same source device. In this demo, we use one Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1, and one Wonderboom 2 to show how this works. You can indeed mix and match these models.
Connect 2 Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2: Step by Step
1. Power Up Both Wonderbooms
We show the Power buttons on each of our Wonderboom 2 in the next pictures.
Press and release the Power button on the first one, and await the power-ON sound.
Then, press and release the Power button on the second Wonderboom, and again, wait for it to come on.
2. Connect the First Wonderboom with a Phone or Other Bluetooth Device
In this demo, we’ll first link the first unit with our iPad Air tablet. Now perhaps you’re not sure how to connect a Wonderboom to a wireless source device. If so, then see our How to Pair 1 Wonderboom Speaker post for details.
3. Press and Release the Play / Pause Button on the First Speaker to Continue with Connect 2 Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2
Next, press the middle (Play / Pause) area of the first Wonderboom that you just connected with your BT source device. Then hold until the speaker makes a connect sound and the pairing lamp starts fast-flashing. Here, our first speaker is the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 (the first version of this series). And in the following picture, we show where to press.
4. Press the Play / Pause Button on the Second Wonderboom
Next, press and release the middle area of the second speaker. Here, ours is the second version (Wonderboom 2). And in the next picture, we show where to press.
The speaker then makes a ready-to-connect sound. Also the pairing light just above the center button blinks briefly. Then, once this speaker connects with the first Wonderboom, its pairing lamp glows steadily.
5. Done with Connect 2 Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 !
Both Wonderbooms now share a connection. Thus, when you play audio on your source device, you’ll now hear it through both at the same time.
Note that each Wonderboom provides stereo sound. Furthermore this holds true even when you have two linked to each other. That is, each speaker provides stereo whether or not it connects to another. Thus it’s not the case that the first speaker plays the left channel and the second plays the right. Both Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 play both channels, in stereo, in fact.
Breaking That Connection
To break the connection between the Wonderbooms, simply power down the second one. After that, the first one (the one that you connected with your Bluetooth device) continues playing.
Now powering down the first one will also break the connection between it and the second speaker. Then the second one will stop playing. But this also breaks the link with the source BT device. So powering OFF the first speaker stops BOTH speakers. But the second one will still be ON until you turn it off.
