How to Sync Wonderboom Speakers

Top view of the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 speaker with its Bluetooth pairing button circled.

This post shows how to sync Wonderboom speakers with common Bluetooth devices. The process works for all Wonderboom models, including the 1 and 2.

Now first, you start with all models of Wonderboom speakers shut OFF (all dark LEDs). Then, follow along to sync them with most any Bluetooth source device. In this demo, we show how syncing works on our iPad Air mobile computer. But like procedures work for iPhones, iPods, and Android phones and tablets as well.

How to Sync Wonderboom Speakers, Step by Step

1. Visit the Home Screen on your Source BT Device

Press the Home button or swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the Home page. E.g. See our Home screen as shown next.

2. Find the Settings App

We found ours on the second page of the Home screen on our tablet.

3. Bring up the Settings App

Then, tap the Settings app icon.

The device then displays the first page of its Settings screen, as shown in the next screenshot

4. Go to the Bluetooth Settings Page to Continue with How to Sync Wonderboom Speakers

Next, tap the Bluetooth item, as pointed at by the dark green arrow in the last screenshot above.

Our Bluetooth Settings screen then appears as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is switched ON here. But since the Wonderboom is currently OFF, it does not show in either the My Devices or Other Devices lists on the tablet yet, Why? Because we’ve not yet synced it with this Bluetooth device before. Plus, the speaker is not yet transmitting its BT connection info.

E.g. See this scenario, that appears as shown next.

Note in this picture that there’s no Wonderboom listed yet.
