JBL & Auracast™: Crank Up the Party, No Strings Attached

Ever wished your whole crew could vibe to the same beat, without everyone crowding around one tiny speaker? What about blasting your favourite tunes during a house party, without the neighbours banging on your door? JBL has the solution, and it's not about turning down the volume. It's about turning up the awesome with Auracast™.

What is Auracast™ and Why Should You Be Pumped?

Imagine this: you're chilling at the beach, tunes pumping from your JBL speaker. Your mates want in on the action, but everyone's got their own preferred headphones or earbuds. No stress! Auracast™ lets you broadcast your audio to an unlimited number of Bluetooth devices. Yup, you read that right — unlimited! It's like your very own radio station, where everyone's tuned in and vibing to the same beat, without a single wire in sight.

How Does Auracast™ Work?

It's not magic, but it's pretty close. Auracast™ is powered by Bluetooth LE Audio, the next-gen tech that lets multiple devices connect to the same audio transmitter simultaneously. Your JBL speaker acts as the DJ, sending out the beats, while your friends' headphones and earbuds tune in like a personal dance floor.

How to Enjoy Sharing Soundtracks with Auracast™

Ready to turn your next get-together into a sonic adventure?

Grab Your Gear: First things first, make sure you've got one of our Auracast™-ready portable powerhouses: the JBL Xtreme 4, Clip 5, or Go 4. These bad boys are designed to share the sonic love.
Power Up and Sync Up: Turn on your JBL speaker and look for the Auracast™ button (it's usually got a little icon next to it). Give it a press, and your speaker will start broadcasting its own Auracast™ signal. Now, any Auracast™-compatible headphones or earbuds can join the party.
Let the Music Flow: Time to crank up the volume and let the good times roll! You can control the music from your phone or any other connected device. And the best part? Everyone connected will hear the same awesome, high-quality sound.
