2. Pair the First Ultimate Ears Wonderboom with a Source Device

In this demo, we’ll first pair the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 with our iPad Air tablet. If you’re not sure how to do this, then see our How to Pair Ultimate Ears Wonderboom Speaker post for details.

3. Press and Release the Play / Pause Button on the First Ultimate Ears Wonderboom

Next, press the middle (Play / Pause) area of the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 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 is the original one.

5. Done with How to Pair Ultimate Ears Wonderboom Together !

Your two Ultimate Ears Wonderbooms 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 speakers.

Note that each Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 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. Thus it’s not the case that the first Ultimate Ears Wonderboom plays the left channel and the second plays the right. Both Ultimate Ears Wonderbooms play both channels, in stereo, in fact.

Breaking This Pairing

To break the link between Ultimate Ears Wonderboom units, simply power down the second one. After that, the first one (the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 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 stops BOTH from playing. But the second one will still be ON until you turn it OFF, even though it’s playing nothing.
