If you're okay with this, you can play music on both Bluetooth speakers.
Ok, let's get straight to the point and see how you can connect multiple Bluetooth speakers at once.

- Play any song and tap on "Media" which you will find in the notification bar.
- And finally select both speakers to play music from them.
After connecting the Bluetooth speaker to your Samsung device, you will hear a confirmation tone from the speaker. Now, you can decide which speaker should be loud and which should be lower. That is totally up to you.
This is one of the easiest and fastest ways to connect multiple speakers on your Samsung device. You should note that this feature is only available on Samsung devices. It might be a coincidence if you find the same option on any phone brand other than Samsung, but here I am specifically talking about Samsung devices.
If you don't have a Samsung phone or tablet, don't worry as there are alternative ways to connect multiple speakers to your phone.
2. Use the brand's official apps
If you want to connect multiple speakers on your phone at the same time, please install the headphone maker app on your phone and connect them.
Let's help you understand with an example.
If you're using Bose Bluetooth speakers and want to connect two Bose speakers, simply install the app from the App Store and pair them.

- Install the Bose Connect app from the Google Play Store or App Store.
- Open the app and tap on the “Speakers” icon.
- Finally, connect the two speakers by dragging them down.
And it is that. You have now successfully connected both Bose speakers and can play music from both speakers.
Like Bose, there are many brands that offer their own apps to connect the two speakers and play music. Some of them are, JBL and Ultimate Ears (UE).

3. Using AmpMe to connect multiple Bluetooth speakers
To connect multiple Bluetooth speakers at the same time, you can install the Ampme app on your Android or iOS device and connect the two speakers to enjoy your favorite music.
If you don't have a Samsung phone to use the "Dual Audio" feature or you don't have Bose speakers to connect them to, then there's nothing to worry about as you use the "AmpMe" app for this purpose.
Regardless of the brand of speaker you are currently using, you can use "AmpMe" and connect multiple speakers without any problem.

- Now, select the media you want to play.
- Finally, enable your location to connect with nearby devices.
Although this app is quite useful, it also has some downsides. First, you can only connect to one Bluetooth speaker at a time, but you can connect to multiple phones to play music. Second, you have to buy a weekly subscription to use the app, which not everyone can afford.
If paying for this service doesn't make sense to you, then there's nothing to worry about. There are other ways to connect multiple Bluetooth speakers at the same time.

- Now, connect both HomePods to the power supply and turn them on.
- Install the "Home" app on your iPhone if you haven't already.
- Finally, move your iPhone closer to the two homepods.
- You will get the setup screen automatically and just follow the instructions to connect the homepods.
If you are someone who owns multiple iPhones and a few HomePods, you can easily connect both HomePods without much effort.
All you have to do is turn on Bluetooth on both your phone and HomePod and move your phone a little closer to the HomePod and it will connect in about a minute.
You should note that this method only works with HomePod and iPhones running iOS 11.4 or later. If you don't have any HomePod or if you have an older iPhone with a version older than iOS 11.4, then you won't be able to perform this method.
You'll have to find another way to connect multiple Bluetooth speakers on your iPhone.
