If I could like this a billion times I would. I have been dying to be able to double up when paired to my computer, but even when I double up from my phone while my computer is the second device connected it would kick the second speaker off when I start playing from the computer. This worked! Thank you!

If you can't pair a UE BOOM with a device or can't double up a pair of UE BOOM speakers these TWO things are important and always solve the problem for me.
1) RESET the the UE BOOM or two UE BOOMs if your doubling up.
Power on. Press the on/off button and the minus sign button simultaneously. Wait up to ten seconds for the percussive noise which signals a reset. The UE BOOM will power off. You have successfully reset.
2) Remove the UE BOOM or UE BOOMS from your device. You can do this in the bluetooth preferences however it works with your OS.
Once your device is clear turn on your UE BOOMs and double up as described in the video above.
This works for me. Every time.
I have two boom speakers, identical model and part numbers, only difference is S/N #’s. I reset both of them like you said, and pressed “forget this device” for both from my Bluetooth menu (iPhone 6s plus w/ latest available software). After then competently completing the procedure as described in this video, both Bluetooth button lights on the speakers do not turn to solid non blinking illumination but instead both continue to be rapidly flashing and sound only plays through one speaker. Have attempted multiple times, doesn’t work. All this after downloading a firmware update file from ultimate ears website which doesn’t launch.. only one speaker is able to use mobile app functions, the other says software update is needed, although all they offer is a dead end goose chase with poorly worded instructions and poor webpage functionality with crippling bugs when seeking to obtain said update.
Is there any how you can pair them in stereo ?
They both playing on mono but the video is really useful !
Thanks
This was super duper helpful!!!!! Several people told me it couldn't be done. The app didn't work for me. I'd almost given up when I saw this video. Thank you!
Cannot thank you enough! I bought this UE Boom two years ago and it has just sat around my house. Well, today I thought about youtube and how I can usually program and work any device and yes, I GOT MUSIC!!!!! I'M PLAYING CAN YOU BE MY SUPERMAN WITH MY IPHONE 7PLUS!
We're happy to hear this!
I love 💘my ue boom.2.
This is awesome, thank you. I just bought these speakers yesterday and the guy at the store was clueless as to if this was even possible. I figured it must be, so I bought them anyway. This video was simple and worked on the first try.
Customer Service was worthless. Came here... Thanks for the user input TH-cam!
Nothing worked UNTIL I updated the firmware (not sure if it was needed, but why not right).
Also, be sure to connect each speaker separately (on/off one at a time) and give each speaker it's own name "boom 1, boom 2, etc in the app settings (if using the app). Otherwise the app did not recognize the speakers separately, even though my phone's bluetooth was connected to 2 speakers. Then, on the app, I was able to drag the 2nd speaker to the center of the screen and get them both synced. Phew... Rockin now! Hope you all have the same good luck.
Quick, clear, to the point, and works. Perfect video. TY!
When you press the button twice, make sure that it's two quick clicks. Slow presses do not work.
Except for it doesn’t work
Thanks a million for this video. I connected two UE boom speakers to device supported on Windows Phone OS and it worked perfectly though sound was doubled up at the first time. I had to use UE app for Android on Samsung Galaxy and switched to stereo mode. After the next pairing to Windows Phone OS sound was stereophonic. Thank you once again.
Ye gods, I only just found this!! Such clear guidelines and it worked immediately on my two Boom speakers that I've had for aaaages! Thank you so much!!
I was having allot of trouble pairing up my ue boom's and came to this TH-cam and the demonstration worked! I am "Rockin all night" know with my doubled-up ue boom's.:)
Hey Kevin, if you're still having issues, please open a case with support: ultmt.rs/2BpF2pN.
@@ultimateearshi can this be done on the Boom 3
You should mention that the FIRMWARE in the UE Booms needs to be up to date, and both UE booms need to have the same firmware version for this to work.
captcorajus : Will they sync if they're both stock gen 1 UE Booms?
No they will not TAKE THEM BACK !!
Fishing with Cobra Dam!
Exactly! OR IT DOESN'T WORK...
I am soooooo glad you made this video!!! I couldn't get them to pair with my Samsung Galaxy 4 and all the videos I watched wouldn't let the Samsung use the NFC feature to connect with the UE Boom. Also the instruction manual does not tell you how to connect the speakers the way you did!!! hanks a ton.
2019 and that trick of "press volume up and the little bluetooth button, at the same time" (on the first, already-playing speaker) still works. Thanks. I'm using one MegaBoom and one fairly old Boom 2.
Awesome guys. A tutorial that worked first go. Love my ue booms. Apart from yellow charging cord.not robust enough, have thrown away 2. I'm glad I had 4 booms with 4 cords. Now 2
I’ve been trying to connect both speakers to my lap top. It would say they are both connected but only one works‼️😡 Now they are both working thanks to your video‼️🥰😘🤗 thank you so much‼️🤗
Yes, this is exactly why I bought the speakers. They sound great with my iPhone but would like to have Stereo when using my Macbook Pro.
6 Years Later still love them ?
@@jblfamily02 personally I do, but they never went too in depth without the app. You really do need the app for most thing & the future of these speaker is scary because of it :/
I got Boom 1, multible boom 2s & megablasts (1) I don’t like the newer one because they don’t have aux ports.
I just got the hyperboom & it’s out of sinc with the other speakers when paired by bt or wired so I plan to return it. Plus same app problems
But the boom 2 I would recomand for travels, megaboom 1 for home use & work :)
You're a national hero. It worked also on megabooms. Now I can connect them to pc as a single speaker.
Thank u
Maybe "international" hero?
This simply doesn't work (firmware updated) upon first connect via Bluetooth so no idea if this ever worked. Via the app is pretty flaky too...
Only right video I've found to couple 2 Boom speakers, thank you so much :)
My daughter (now 6 yrs.) and I have taken a Jabra Solemate for the past 4 seasons to snowboard at Heavenly/Northstar/Kirkwood (Lake Tahoe). It's neatly attached externally in it's protective weather resistant bag on the back of my pack. We have our own soundtrack as we snowboard down the runs. We get tons of looks (good) and people trying to follow us and grooving to the jams as we go.
Sadly the Solemate is a single speaker and will not allow any type of syncronizing between other speakers. When I read the UE Boom did this I IMMEDIATELY bought TWO. We will be testing them for a week straight from 19-25 Jan on the slopes.
I'm sitting in my living room right now and comparing them to the Solemate. First I compared one UE Boom to the Solemate directly. The Solemate wins slightly as far as slightly better bass - however the UE Boom is noticeably louder without distortion - even at the highest volume setting. Next I compared TWO UE Boom's connected (using the method in this video). WOW!!!! I'm stoked. They are SOOOOO LOUD and in PERFECT SYNC. I simply cannot wait for our snowboarding trip to kick off the 2015 year! She will wear one on her pack, I will wear the other.
My only complaint [and really, it's barely a complaint since I understand deep sounds need space for being created] is that I so wish the bass was deeper. Maybe you could make a UE Boom Subwoofer attachment that could be sync'd? That way there'd be an option for it if someone chose to carry it - believe me, I'd find a way to get it on my pack on the mountain!
Lovely story! :) So how was your 2015 snowboarding trip at Lake Tahoe to the sound of two UE Booms connected together? I hope you and your now-13-year-old daughter are doing grooving good!
You can do this with the UE Boom 2 synched to the Mega Boom as well. You just have to choose the Mega Boom as the first one and the Boom 2 as the 2nd. Finally you must push the synch button on the Boom 2 a total of 4 times. And the UE Booms sound pretty nice ain a vehicle as well.
How can you set the two paired UE Boom in "Stereo" mode without the app? is it possible?
IS IT POSSIBLE??
@@romekhanys9215 Nope. It doesn't seem so. It's a setting in the app only.
yes it does basicly what u need to do it press the + button and bluetooth button on the firstspeaker without hold it and the the second just double press the bluetooth button : yw Ik the videa wasnt clear xD
Its possible on some android devices . Like for my s10 plus i can connect 2 different speakers at once and play music at the same time without the app
very clear and easy - worked fine - thank you!
Does this also work with UE Boom 1 (first generation)? Because pressing the buetooth button twice on my second device does not have any effect at all.
Unfortunatelly this does not work for the UE Boom Generation 1. However when I updated both Gen 1 UE Boom to the latest firmware I managed to permanently connect both in stereo mode via the Android App. Now I have to connect my laptop only with the first one and turn on the second and voila! - both boxes play the music from the laptop in stereo! 😊
It worked for me. 2 megaboom's are now playing the audio from this video.
this worked perfect cause i couldnt download an app for pc. good stuff.
Thanks. About time someone figured it out. This is so awesome because this is the very reason why I ordered two of these speakers was that you could pair them together. My main question is when you pair them this way without the app, do they become Left and Right or do you have two stereo speakers playing?
Michael Ray Tyler aa
Awesome video work perfectly thank you
Thanks so much! Had to repeart it a couple of times but worked in the end.
This works better than going through the App.
@ 1:07 everyone quits watching this video 😂
Will the volume setting sync between the two UE booms?
This works so intermittently on two UE Megaboom speakers. I usually have to try for 20 minutes to get any success and sometimes I never do. And since the new update (installed June 6, 2015), doubling up doesn't work at all and I've tried for forty minutes. It doesn't work with the iPhone app method or the one listed in this video. This has been a very disappointing waste of a lot of time and I'm starting to regret purchasing these, much as I love the sound.
Christian Day I am having the same problem! Its a whole headache each and every time to do double. Each and every speaker is good once its connected, but UNTIL its connected is a big pain and time consuming.
Christian Day Omg i know completly the same issue
😁
And it's still on going in 2018. Bought 2 x UE 2's. Worked once dble up. Now f knows
Same in 2019
This is such a helpful video! Thanks
🫶
Thank you so much for your help!! Now my phone it's connected to both of the mega boom speakers!!
hi. why it's not possible to use double up with 3,5 mm jack??
Also not possible to connect to PS4.
great sound.
hi thanks agree with this but if i duble up my boom could be nice to use input jack from tv or someting else and get stereo as mini home cinema. i was thinking to use with picoprojector. then i will by bluetooth transmitter. thanks din
Finally got it to work on the Mac...You guys really should just make a Mac and Windows app though...It's not that hard...Hire me, I'm a Mac developer!!!
I can't seem to get this to work. I have two UE BOOM speakers connected to my Windows Vista PC, which is Bluetooth capable. Only one of the speakers is working. Each time I try to double up the working speaker stops working and the other speakers starts working. I also have there two speakers connected and double up to my smartphone, so just in case they can't work with two devices at a time, I turned off Bluetooth on my phone. Can you help me get these doubled up for use with my PC? I've gone back and forth with customer service by email, but the last time they responded to me was just over an hour ago.
Does this pair them in stereo format by default, or just 1×1 dual play? Is there a way to set/change these two settings without app? And I also REALLLLLY want to know how to use my two Boom2's stereo synched to my laptop so we can watch VLC media with these awesome cans!
Any responses are hugely appreciated.
I would love a response to this question. I have 2 in my cart ready to buy, but need this info.
Charlie Skinner stereo is an option for the ue boom 2

i just followed his method and works great! i use a laptop. im using 2 UE Boom 2.
yooo itried it and boom first try it worked! iwas trying to connect my 2 speakers to my Dell Laptop, thanks so much!
i have the black one. still works
What about the stereo function without an app?
Same problem
Will the sound from the two speakers come out as stereo?
Yes, it is possible. I just did it. I have a boom 1 I bought 6 years ago and I bought a boom 2 on ebay two weeks ago and I couldn't until I saw this video and it didn't help much and now I play music with both of them at the same time. ..the app did not help me... thank you very much
Great help!..it worked on my UE Boom 2. Thanks!...i use this method to double up on my laptop and it's perfect!
Each and every speaker is good once its connected, but UNTIL its connected is a big pain and time consuming. Yes, I updated the firmware just today. It takes so long each and everytime I want to double up! I am using UE BOOM both same original models.
I have an original boom and a new boom 3, Both connect faultlessly!
I have a UE Boom and would buy a UE Boom 2 IF it can double up in stereo mode through the iPhone app. Is that possible, or will it only double up in mono?
Happy days Thank you heaps
I have a galaxy 6, can I pair a boom and a room together?
I just connected my 2 while watching this video. Nice.
Best speakers yet
When connecting this way, if you use the aux cord on one of them, will the speakers still be connected? Or will it then only play on the speaker that has the aux cord in it.
Can i do the same with boom 2 and wonderboom? Dont have wondeboom yet but planning to buy one.
thanks that was easy and very helpful!
Worked like a charm! Thanks!
01/02/19 HELP trying to connect both my UE megabooms to my mac to play simultaneously. Both have been updated to the latest firmware. Followed all the steps in this video..........getting stuck at the last stage. Any suggestions
Does this feature work with smaller versions of the UE speakers, such as the X100?
Will this work on the megablast?
CAN I connect a EU Boom 2 with a UE Boom 3? By the way, is the EU Boom 3 as good as the EU Boom 2. I think the 2 is fantastic for my near deaf husband.
tried everything to get my two UE boom-2 speakers to double up no luck at all. Tried via the app no go tried manually still nope. both units are updated seems frigging I'm possible. I can connect via Bluetooth tooth to one or the other but can't them to connect to each other.
have you done?
super easy very helpful thank you so much for this video
Awesome! Worked perfectly!!! Thanks for the share :)
So with two ue speakers do you get proper stereo music
I want to know too!
Apparently no
When not using the app the double up only gives mono to both speakers. (use a stereo test tone to check , plenty on youtube) This is a real shame. On a macbook I usually always have to delete and pair up the first megaboom every time I want to use two in double up. Sometimes I will get the confirmation audio that both are doubled up , sometimes not , its pretty random. Also the second megaboom has some obvious noise interference on it even when its not playing anything. I really think UE should make an app available for windows and mac to allow for stereo. I wonder if there is something stopping them doing this with blutooth audio through osx and windows. This is a small negative on an otherwise good bit of kit.
Hey Keith! Thanks for the feedback, we'll share it with the team!
@@ultimateears So now 2022, are we able to get a stable stereo sound with Bluetooth paired UE Booms without using the app? Thanks!
Wow. Just the touch to one button. Thank you!!😀
parties gonna be lit tonight!
Worked perfect thank you!
You can pair two ue boom 2s? I thought you can only pair two ue megabooms...
Thaaaanks bruv! Was going insane with confusion
Thank you. This is very helpful.
You Rock............thank you so much !!!

Is it possible to pair UE Boom 1 and 2 together as double up??
Thanks u just saved my party
when he says press the bliuetooth connection twice he should say rapidly. It only works for me if I press it twice as fast as possible. I did it with 2 megabooms on my ipod and Samsung 7 edge
It has trouble when the first speaker is connected to aux. This is essential if your audio is coming from anything other than a phone - like a mixing desk. Is the problem with the cable? It crackles on the second speaker only.
The crackling occurs when the volume exceeds a threshold. When I tested with bluetooth to the first speaker (not AUX) there was no crackling on second speaker. Maybe I need a nicer cable. Ive tried two cables already, though. Worst case scenario is to attach a bluetooth transmitter to mixing desk. I hope there are no problems with that or these UE speakers are useless to me.
The BTI-029 wireless bluetooth transmitter provides a less crackly solution at full volume on iPad 4 with UE Boom 2 connected via bluetooth top the BTI-029 and the Boom 2 connected via bluetooth to the Megaboom. There is still crackle on the second speaker (megaboom). Im not su-re wh-at ....goi-g on..
Less crackly solution: Pair the megaboom to the BTI-029, then transmit bluetooth from the Megaboom to the UE Boom 2. The UE Boom 2 must have a weaker bluetooth transmitter.
Solution: Reset BTI-029 by switching to RX mode turning off and on (Red and blue flashing light). Turn BTTI-029 off, switch to TX mode, turn on, press power button twice to enter pairing mode (fast blue flash). Then put UE Boom 2 into pairing mode within 1 metre of BTI-029. Wait up to 60 seconds for pairing. Lights on both devices will become stable when paired. Now, on UE Boom 2 (connected via bluetooth to BTI-029), quickly press bluetooth button and volume up at the same time and let go. UE Boom 2 will continue to play audio from BTI-029 signal and light will flash rapidly. Now, double press bluetooth button on Megaboom and it should double up after 30 seconds. Make sure the AUX cable is good.
NOTE: After the UE speakers are powered off, they will not remember double up. You have to do the bt&+ on the transmit speaker and double bt on the receiver speaker again.
UPDATE: Video and Audio does not sync and there is an insane amount of LAG if you do not use the AUX input! See discussion thread here: community.logitech.com/s/question/0D55A00007CJepmSAD/the-ue-boom-2mageboom-delay-issue-catch-all-thread
How do you pair a UE Hyperboom to a UE BOOM 3 using bluettoth? I have been trying to play pair the two and play music from my laptop instead from phone. Is there a way to accomplish this?
I would like to know if this only works to double up the speakers, or if there is a way to make it stereo without using the app. I have a couple mp3 players with BT capabilities, but not way to download an app on them. Thank you
I think you have to set it in advance on the app, then they will remember.
it does work good job
WORKED!
Its didn't seem to work for me. Not sure I went wrong. I rename my original and a second one popped up all my Bluetooth but it still won't connect. Edit update finally got it to work.
It works its just tricky
Works on the Blast too :)
Can you use. MEGA and a smaller UE boom together?
Can you pair 2 wonderbooms and a UE boom 2 all simultaneously?
Hello! You can pair two WONDERBOOMs together, however BOOM 2 can only connect with the PARTYUP feature which connects it to other BOOM 2's, BOOM 3, MEGABOOM, MEGABOOM 3 and HYPERBOOM speakers.
what about stereo?
Rob Schan. no
thank you for this video :D FINALLY, I can use both at the same time :P
Editing.
Thanks a lot. It works.
Thanks for this help
WOW that's awesome. It works on PC !
can i connect a megaboom to a ue roll 2
I just got my UE boom speakers and I had problem with parring up :((
after updating they pair up in 30 sec no problem ;] hopefully they will stay like that
how do you update it???
They're both connected but there's no sound in the 2nd one. Is there something else so it works?
Works one even ten times
Are these an effective replacement for pc desktop speakers? Do you only get stereo on 2 speakers?
If you want to pull your hair out trying to sync them, then yes.
After the pairing up, can I use 3.5 mm jack to use two speakers?
Hey there, the speakers pair over bluetooth only.
Ultimate Ears
Thank you for your reply! The Bluetooth functionality is really awesome as vol. of the two speakers are synced. But it's a bit annoying to
reconnect them every time when one of them shuts down. Any solutions? How can I extend the automatic time out duration?
thanks it worked a treat :)
I have 2 boom3 and I can’t pair them in that way. Why? I followed exactly the instructions explained in this video but it doesn’t work. @ultimate ears
So clear!!
Thank you Darling!!
