• Hey there,

    started last year to listen to music while riding, only way to keep me excited for 200kms.

    Used a JBL Clip 2 until now - which is really nice with its integrated carabiner, waterproof, not to heavy and absolutely ok volume wise.

    Going on a cycleholiday now with a friend, who's also a music nerd like me. Is there any way we can have two speakers but with the same music playing? I know the JBL Clip 2 can be paired, but I'm not sure about the distance and what will happen after one looses the other.

    As I need the music to scare away bears (yes....Hokkaido!) a slight volume upgrade would also be nice...

    Thanks for any information...

  • Ueboom, in party mode can play the same music from two different sources, so both parties can change the playlist. Not sure how far apart you’d need to drift for disconnect though...

  • JBL have a syncing function where same music can be played over multiple devices, check their site for which models are compatible.

    I weighed up the Ueboom and the JBL Flip 4- went with the flip as had better sound.

  • Basic Ultimate Ears model doubles up, one source, two identical speakers.

  • There are apps that make two or more phones play the same music at the same time, without having to buy new speakers..

  • I have a Bose Soundlink Micro and I know you can link them together but also not sure about range issues if you weren't keeping close enough?

  • First of all thanks for all the recommendations - will look into them...would be also interesting how you mount them. I haven't got a front bag, so water bottle holder or handlebar attachment via velcros are the way to go i guess.

    And yes, would be nice to know how far the speakers can be apart before loosing connection and what they do then, if they need user interaction for reconnection etc....

  • ue boom well sized for a water bottle cage!

  • The Bose ones have a nifty strap on the back that I always use to strap it to things in plantrooms when I'm working... I reckon it would work well on handlebars or top tube?

  • For longer and louder playback im attaching power bank to my speaker
