JBL Wonderboom 2 Speaker Pairing Mode

To pair your JBL Wonderboom 2 Speaker with a Bluetooth source device for the first time, or to update stale connection information in that device, you have to know about JBL Wonderboom 2 Speaker Pairing Mode. Why? Because in this mode, the speaker transmits  its name and currently valid connection data over the Bluetooth airwaves, which enables other nearby Bluetooth devices to pair to it.  So in this post, we show this mode in action to link it with phones, tablets, computers, and smart speakers.

1. Turn On the JBL Wonderboom 2 Speaker
