Two Bluetooth speakers, one iPhone. Sounds like a great alternative solution for a party or an intimate setting. However, setting your iPhone or iPad for this purpose can be difficult.
You would have to connect multiple Bluetooth speakers and synchronize them with the correct audio device and figure out the best music playback method for your needs.
Are you an iTunes person or do you prefer the Bose Connect app? Or do you want to drag your favorite songs?
Enjoying your favorite tunes at a party becomes more complicated when you consider that most Bluetooth speaker devices are different from one another, and setting them up will require some effort.
However, don’t worry. We’re here to help simplify the procedure, so let’s start without further ado.
To connect two Bluetooth devices, such as Megaboom speakers, two Homepod speakers, Google Home, or speakers for iPhones to play audio on a single Apple-paired device, you need:
Below are the main steps to establishing a Bluetooth connection on multiple devices:
Make sure Bluetooth is turned on and discoverable. You’ll also need the latest iOS software version installed on your device.
To see if this applies, go to Settings > General > About and then look for software version 6 or later at the top of the page. This setting can appear differently depending on the OS version running on your device.
Make sure all devices are turned on and visible. This step might take a few minutes.
When you’ve detected both speakers, select one of them, and then follow the instructions on your iPhone/iPad to connect it.
Sometimes, this is done by entering a passcode (the same Bluetooth passcode displayed on your speaker) or by pressing buttons on both speakers simultaneously.
Try connecting each speaker with little to no pause between starting up the connection process and completing it.
If there’s no sound coming out after the connection has been established, try turning off Airplane Mode if that’s been switched on. You should hear music again almost immediately after turning the mode back off.
You don’t have to pair each speaker with your iPhone individually.
For example, you could take the first two speakers off the connection to connect a third speaker and then add the third.
Remove any additional devices from the list in the settings tab to switch back to one Bluetooth speaker or headphone.
You can reconnect them again when you need to by following the steps mentioned above.
To adjust the sound levels coming out of each speaker, you’ll need to manually alter them by going into Settings > Music and then selecting Volume Limit.
From there, you need to switch it off if it isn’t already. Adjust your maximum volumes so they’re calibrated correctly across all speakers.
You can use an additional cable if you can’t connect multiple speakers wirelessly. For instance, Anker offers a great option that gives users an adequate range for most regular-sized rooms.
For the most part, connecting multiple Bluetooth devices is the same as connecting a single device – you pair it with your device.
However, depending on where and how you connect them (i.e., wired or wireless), there are other things you’ll need to consider:
If you’re using Bluetooth, make sure that both devices match up in terms of specifications so they can communicate properly.
Nowadays, this isn’t an issue as long as you use either the latest version of iOS or Android.
However, if one of your two speakers came out before the others did, it might not be able to communicate with something newer than itself.
If you’re connecting your speakers directly to your iPhone/iPad, you’ll need a lightning cable-to-audio adapter or use both the audio and USB ports simultaneously.
You can also connect via Bluetooth if your speaker(s) have that ability.
This method works best for homes with more than one room – using an AV receiver will allow you to hear the same music from a single source in multiple rooms.
The wireless functionality gives you much flexibility when choosing where to place your speakers since they no longer have to stay on top of each other, e.g., on opposite ends of the house or in different rooms, etc.
This process will be even easier if you have a wireless router available.
You won’t need to connect directly through Bluetooth, which might be difficult if the devices are too far from each other to hear properly.
The only real concern with using AirPlay over WiFi is bandwidth – there’s not much of it, so don’t try streaming an HD movie over the connection.
If you already have speakers in your iTunes library, select them on the screen and choose ‘Group’ next to the song listing.
You can also do this before selecting songs, but that makes more sense when working with a larger playlist.
Select both speakers and make sure they’re selected at once.
If one speaker is showing up, choose that one and use the ‘-’ button to remove it from the screen.
Also, don’t select anything other than stereo as a group setting.
You won’t get any sound through your second speaker if you pick any option other than ‘Left or Right.’
Now that everything is set up on screen properly go ahead and hit play, where appropriate.
You’ll have to do this again after each song ends to track forward. You should see both speakers light up for a few seconds before turning off; this means they connect over WiFi.
Do not attempt playing an audio file unless both speakers have been selected on-screen – otherwise, only the selected device(s) will receive a signal.
Keep in mind that you’ll still be able to play music through both speakers and listen on an iPhone/iPad simultaneously.
However, one device can’t control another. Ensure only one is playing sound at the highest volume; otherwise, other devices might not hear anything.
Bluetooth headphones are a great way to enjoy your favorite games without disturbing the people around you. Unfortunately, not all Bluetooth headphones are compatible with the PlayStation 4. To connect your headphones with PS4, you must check the list of supported Bluetooth devices.
If your headphones are not on this list, you may be able to use a USB adapter or dongle. If you have a pair of compatible wired headphones, you can also connect them to the PS4 via the audio jack. By taking a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the options available, you can ensure you can enjoy your games with the headphones of your choice.
This depends on the device you’re using. Most smartphones, including the iPhone, traditionally do not support simultaneous connections to two Bluetooth speakers for audio output. However, many modern Bluetooth speakers have a feature that allows them to pair with another of the same brand/model to create a wider stereo soundstage. Always check the manufacturer’s specifications and instructions for your specific speakers. Some devices, especially computers or tablets, might be able to connect to multiple Bluetooth devices at once, but this is more common for a combination of input and output devices (e.g., a keyboard and headphones) rather than two output devices.
Speaker-specific pairing: Many modern Bluetooth speakers offer a feature that lets you pair two of the same (or compatible) speakers together for stereo sound. In this case, you’d connect your iPhone to one speaker, and that speaker would relay the audio to the second speaker.
Use a splitter: While this is not a wireless solution, you can use a wired audio splitter to share sound between two wired speakers or headphones.
Third-party apps: Some apps claim to offer solutions for this, but always read reviews and do your research before downloading or purchasing.
The iPhone 11 does not natively support “dual audio” in the sense that some users might think of it — simultaneously streaming audio to two separate Bluetooth devices. This feature has been popularized by certain Android devices, particularly by Samsung.
However, the iPhone 11 allows audio sharing with another set of AirPods or Beats headphones, introduced with iOS 13. This allows two people to listen to the same audio from one iPhone, which can be handy for watching a movie or listening to music together.
To use this feature on the iPhone 11:
1. Ensure both AirPods or Beats headphones are connected to the iPhone.
2. Start playing audio on the iPhone.
3. Bring the second set of AirPods or Beats headphones close to the iPhone.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to share the audio.
It’s worth noting that this feature is specific to certain Apple and Beats headphones and won’t work with other Bluetooth headphones or speakers.
By now, you should know how to connect multiple Bluetooth speakers to your iPhone or iPad for dual audio output.
However, you need to understand the limitations and restrictions before heading to the market to buy additional speakers.
For instance, the devices and components must be compatible with each other. So, make sure you check your device’s model to understand all your options.
