How to Connect Multiple Bluetooth Speakers to One Device

This article explains how to connect multiple speakers to play the same audio on all of them simultaneously.

How to Connect to Two Speakers on Android

Your Android phone can send audio to two devices at once. Called Dual audio on Samsung Galaxy devices, it’s the easiest way to play the same music on more than one Bluetooth speaker simultaneously.

1. Pair the first speaker with your phone and then repeat the same steps for the second speaker.

2. Open Quick Settings and tap Media output.

3. Tap the speakers you want to connect to. This will send audio to both devices at once.

   Samsung’s Dual audio feature is limited to certain devices with Bluetooth 5.0.

4. Use your phone’s volume buttons to adjust the volume on both speakers or use the volume slider in the media panel to control one speaker at a time.

Older Android Devices

If your Samsung Galaxy phone is running Android 9 or earlier, your steps look a little different because you first have to enable Dual audio:

1. Go to Settings > Connections > Bluetooth.

2. Tap the three dots to open more options, then choose Advanced.

3. Select the toggle next to Dual audio to turn it on.

   Disable media volume sync if you’re asked to do that.

4. Use your phone’s volume buttons to control the volume for both devices at the same time.

How to Connect Multiple Speakers on iPhone

Using multiple Bluetooth speakers on an iPhone is nearly identical to playing music over one speaker. Follow these steps to learn how to play music on two Bluetooth speakers simultaneously.

1. Go to Settings > Bluetooth.

2. Tap the Bluetooth toggle to turn it on if it’s not already.

3. Connect to both speakers by tapping each one. Both should say Connected.

4. Swipe down from the top of the screen to open Control Center.

5. Tap the music tile. If you don’t see it, open the app you want to stream to the speakers and start playing something.

6. Tap the circle at the bottom. It might say iPhone or the name of one of your speakers.

7. Tap the speakers you want to connect to. Audio should now be playing on both Bluetooth speakers. Separate volume control is available if you want to adjust playback per speaker.
