UE Wonderboom 2 Connect 2 Speakers

A Wonderboom 1 and a Wonderboom 2 side by side.

Explains the UE Wonderboom 2 connect 2 speakers routine, so that they both play the same audio content from one source device. In this demo, we use one UE Wonderboom 1, and one UE Wonderboom 2 to show how this works. You can indeed mix and match.

UE Wonderboom 2 Connect 2 Speakers: Step by Step

1. Power Up Both Wonderbooms

We show the Power buttons on each of our Wonderboom units in the next pictures.

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 UE Wonderboom, and again, wait for it to come on.

2. Connect the First Wonderboom with a Phone or Other Bluetooth Device

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

3. Press and Release the Play / Pause Button on the First Speaker to Continue with UE Wonderboom 2 Connect 2 Speakers

Next, press the middle (Play / Pause) area of the UE Wonderboom 1 you just connected with your source device. Hold until the speaker makes a connect sound and the Bluetooth lamp starts fast-flashing. Here, our first speaker is the original UE Wonderboom 1 (the first version of this series). And in the following picture, we show where to press.

4. Press the Play / Pause Button on the Second Unit

Next, press and release the middle area of the second UE Wonderboom. Here, ours is the second version (Wonderboom 2). And in the next picture, we show where to press.

The speaker then makes a ready-to-connect sound. Also the Bluetooth light just above the center button blinks briefly. Then, once this speaker connects with the first Wonderboom, its Bluetooth lamp glows steadily.

5. Done with UE Wonderboom 2 Connect 2 Speakers !

Your two Wonderbooms now share a connection. Thus, when you play audio on your source device, you’ll now hear it through both Wonderboom models.

The two models side by side.

Note that each Wonderboom provides stereo sound. Furthermore this holds true even when you have two of them joined to each other. That is, each speaker provides stereo whether or not it connects to another. Thus it’s not the case that the first Wonderboom plays the left channel and the second plays the right. Both play both channels, in stereo, in fact.

UE Wonderboom 2 Connect 2 Speakers: Ending That Connection

To break the connection, simply power down the second speaker. After that, the first one (the one that you connected with your Bluetooth device) continues playing.

Now powering down the first one will also break the connection between it and the second speaker. Then the second one will stop playing. But this also breaks the link with the source BT device. So powering OFF the first speaker stops BOTH speakers. But the second one will still be ON until you turn it off.
