How to Stream Music to Multiple Speakers from Your iPhone
Music lovers know the value of streaming audio to multiple speakers, especially when you're looking to fill a room (or multiple rooms) with rich, detailed sound. However, if you're an iPhone user, you may have noticed that streaming to more than one Bluetooth speaker at the same time isn't as straightforward as it could be.
Why You Can’t Connect Multiple Bluetooth Speakers to Your iPhone
While some Android devices, like Samsung smartphones, can easily connect to multiple Bluetooth speakers simultaneously, Apple’s iPhones—including the latest models like the iPhone 15 Pro Max—still do not natively support this feature. The reason lies in Apple’s limited Bluetooth capabilities, which don’t include Bluetooth Audio LE (Low Energy), a technology that allows devices to broadcast audio to multiple outputs at once.
This lack of support can be frustrating if you’re trying to stream music to more than one speaker from your iPhone, but don’t worry—there are ways to get around this limitation.
Solution: Use a Third-Party App to Sync Music Across Multiple Speakers
While iPhones don’t support simultaneous Bluetooth connections on their own, third-party apps like AmpMe offer a practical solution. AmpMe enables you to sync music across multiple iPhones, each connected to its own Bluetooth speaker. This way, you can create a multi-speaker setup using your iPhone, without needing Apple’s built-in support for multiple connections.
How to Use AmpMe to Stream Music on Multiple Speakers:
- Download AmpMe from the App Store. The app is free to download, but it operates on a subscription model after the trial period, so keep that in mind. The app is also available for PC and Android devices.
- Sign Up and Start a Party. Once you’ve downloaded and installed AmpMe, create an account and start a new music party or join an existing one.
- Connect Your Bluetooth Speaker to your iPhone as you normally would.
- Sync More Speakers by downloading the app on your additional device, then join your AmpMe party on their own iPhones. Each device can be paired with a different Bluetooth speaker, allowing you to sync multiple speakers to play the same audio.
- Play Your Music. Once your devices are connected and synced through AmpMe, you can play your music on multiple speakers, all controlled from your iPhone.
While this method requires the use of multiple devices and a third-party app, it is currently one of the most effective ways to stream music across multiple Bluetooth speakers from an iPhone.
Why Audioengine Home Music Systems Elevate the Experience
While apps like AmpMe can solve the issue of connecting multiple speakers to an iPhone, it’s equally important to invest in speakers that deliver the best sound possible. That’s where Audioengine’s Home Music Systems shine. Audioengine’s products, including the HD6 and HD3, feature aptX HD Bluetooth technology to provide high-fidelity wireless audio without any app frustration or forced software updates.

As much as we’d love to see the iPhone natively support multiple Bluetooth speaker connections, even the iPhone 15 Pro Max and its predecessors don’t yet offer this feature. Fortunately, apps like AmpMe make it possible to stream music to multiple speakers from your iPhone. Combine this with Audioengine’s Home Music Systems for the best sound experience, and you’ve got a winning setup that offers flexibility, power, and uncompromising audio quality.
