Ultimate Ears’ Boom & Megaboom speakers have consistently been rated highly in our Bluetooth speaker roundups and reviews, and the company has just advised us of a new feature coming today. You were previously able to pair two of the speakers for either stereo use or just louder mono, but a firmware and app update will now allow you to link up to 50 of them.
To link multiple speakers, swipe into the PartyUp screen in the app, which will search for all speakers within range. Drag-and-drop them into the main area and they will be automatically linked.
You can still control the volume manually on each speaker, but a Volume Sync function lets you instead set the same volume on each from within the app. If you have enough friends with UE speakers, things could get loud …
We’d previously seen betas of this software over a year ago which took quite awhile for UE to perfect.
Ultimate Ears previously updated the speakers back in June to add Siri and Google Now integration.
