Explains how to pair Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 together. Then two of them play the same audio from the same source device. In this scenario, we use one Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1, and one Wonderboom 2. But you can also pair two Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1’s, or two Wonderboom 2’s together with this same routine.
How to Pair Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Together: Step by Step
1. Power Up Both JBL Wonderbooms
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 Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1, and again, wait for it to come on.
2. Pair the First Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 with a Source Device
In this demo, we’ll first pair the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 1 with our iPad Air tablet. If you’re not sure how to do this, then see our How to Pair Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Speaker post for details.
3. Press and Release the Play / Pause Button on the First JBL Wonderboom
Next, press the middle (Play / Pause) area of the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 you just paired. Then hold in until that speaker makes a connect sound and the pairing lamp starts quick-flashing. Here, the first Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 is the original one.
4. Press the Play / Pause Button on the 2nd JBL Wonderboom
Next, press and release the middle area of the second speaker. In this case, ours is the second version of the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 (Wonderboom 2).
Then we get a ready-to-pair sound. Also the pairing light just above the center button blinks briefly. Then once this speaker links with the first Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1, the pairing lamp starts glowing steadily.
5. Done with How to Pair Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Together !
Your two Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1s now share a connection with the same source device. Thus, when you play audio on that device, you’ll now hear it through both Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 speakers.
Note that each Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 provides stereo sound, even when you pair two of them together. So each speaker plays in stereo whether or not it pairs to another Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1. Thus it’s not the case that the first Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 plays the left channel and the second plays the right. Both Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1s play both channels, in stereo, in fact.
Breaking This Pairing
To break the link between Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 units, simply power down the second one. After that, the first one (the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 that you connected with your source device) keeps playing.
Or, powering down the first one will also break the pairing between it and the second speaker. Thus the second one stops playing. But this also breaks the link with the source device. So shutting OFF the first Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 stops BOTH from playing. But the second one will still be ON until you turn it OFF, even though it’s playing nothing.
