  1. 1

    Connect your JBL speakers to the same source. If you're unsure of this connection process, you can look at either How to Connect an iPad to Bluetooth Devices, How to Connect a Speaker to Your iPhone with Bluetooth, How to Connect Bluetooth Speakers to Android, or How to Connect a Bluetooth Speaker to a Laptop.

    • When you check the Bluetooth list of devices on your source (iPhone, iPad, etc), you should see all your JBL speakers.
  2. 2

    Start playing music or audio. After your speakers are paired and turned on, you can use your iPhone, iPad, Android, or computer to start playing music over one of your JBL speakers. You can use any music player, like Spotify, to play music and it should play through one of the JBL speakers.

  3. 3

    Press the Connect button on the playing JBL speaker. The icon on this button looks somewhat like an hourglass with a plus sign.

  4. 4

    Press the Connect button on the other JBL speaker. You can activate as many speakers as you have connected to your Bluetooth.[1]

    • As soon as the speakers connect with each other, they will all begin to play music.[2]

    Some common reasons are that the device is too far from the speaker or there’s another device interfering with your connection. Make sure both the speaker and your device have Bluetooth enabled and that they’re both sufficiently charged.

    This is a common problem without any reliable solutions. Resetting your earbuds might help. Some users also report that certain devices have advanced settings for dual Bluetooth devices that may need to be activated in order for both earbuds to work.

    If they’re charged, your earbuds should turn on automatically when you take them out of the case. You can also turn them on manually by pressing and holding the button on the earpiece for 5 seconds.
