Bluetooth speakers and music for two while riding

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
