Connecting multiple JBL speakers together is a great way to amplify the sound and create a more immersive experience. You can connect up to 100 PartyBoost speakers or 100 Connect+ speakers together.

If you have multiple JBL speakers that support PartyBoost, you can connect them together by clicking the "Connect" button on each additional speaker. This will link them together within 30 seconds. You can also use the JBL Portable app on your Android or iOS device to connect and control your PartyBoost speakers.

To connect multiple JBL speakers together, you'll need to ensure they're all compatible. JBL has two primary connection standards: PartyBoost and Connect+. Speakers that support a particular standard are compatible with one another but not with those of the other. For example, you can connect PartyBoost speakers like the JBL Flip 5 and Charge 5 together but not the Flip 5 and the Flip 4, which uses Connect+.
