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