There are a few ways for how to adjust volume on Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Bluetooth speaker. But these depend on the app(s) you’re streaming from mostly. Indeed, many apps provide loudness setting control. However this UE has two buttons for volume control as well. They are the BIG + and – buttons on the front of the unit. Here we cover all of that.
How to Adjust Volume on Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1
You can adjust the volume without using any apps, doing it this way, as follows.

2. Next, Set Volume by Pressing the – and + Buttons

How to Adjust Volume on Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 with Siri Voice Commands
Command Siri to turn UE Womberboom volume up and down as follows. On your mobile device, press the Home button. Then hold in until Siri displays the What can I help you with? prompt.
Then, have her adjust the volume to fifty percent loudness by saying to your device, “Set volume 50.”
Next is an example of Siri responding to a voice command to set the volume to FULL (100 percent).
Note that you need to speak directly to the source device, and NOT the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 when issuing these requests.
Furthermore, Siri currently understands one scale for volume adjustment: 0-100 percent. Example commands follow. Say these after you’ve awakened her.
-
- Volume 76.
- Set volume 100 [One hundred percent, full volume].
- Set volume 0 [muted].
- Volume 0.
- Set volume 10 [Ten percent].
- Set volume 10 percent.
- Volume 10.
- Set volume 76 percent.
There are also shortcut commands for minimum and maximum volume setting for the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1, as in:
-
- Mute. [Sets the volume to zero percent, minimum, muted state.]
- Half volume. [Adjusts volume to fifty percent, or half of full.]
- Set volume full. [Sets speaker volume to maximum, 100 percent.]
- Set volume max. [Sets speaker volume to maximum, 100 percent.]
- Volume half. [Adjusts volume to fifty percent, or half of full.]
- Volume minimum. [Sets the volume to zero percent, minimum, muted state.]
How to Adjust Volume on Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 on Source Device (Another Way)
You can adjust Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 volume with the controls on the paired iOS and Android source devices as well.
However, we find that volume adjustments on the speaker do not change the setting on our Samsung Galaxy J7 phone. For this phone, the speaker volume buttons appear to adjust that of the speaker itself. But not the phone volume.
So here, we play YouTube videos on our iPad Air. Then we stream that audio to the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1.
1. Pair your Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1
We’ll add posts presently that show how to pair the JBL Flip 3 with a source Bluetooth device.
2. Next, Begin Playing a Music Source
Then start streaming an internet radio station, a song from YouTube, Pandora, or Spotify, or an Audible book. So in this scenario, we streamed YouTube audio to our Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1.
3. Then, Use your Source Mobile Device’s Volume Control Buttons to Adjust the Volume of the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1
See this done in the next picture.
Note the volume adjuster square with a speaker inside of it in the last picture. Then, this box appears anytime you tap the volume controls on the iOS device.
Also note that the volume change you experience on the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 lags by a second or so. Why? Because of the latency (delay) of the commands going across the Bluetooth medium to the UE. Indeed, even the latest versions of the Bluetooth protocol introduce some perceptible audio delay.
Finally again, we’re not covering here how to set Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 volume for individual apps. So, we leave that as an exercise for the reader.
