How do I pair speakers?

[pizzaburgergordon]

I know nothing about speakers setups. I just wanted to know the easiest/cheapest way to go about install 4 speakers in my room. I want 1 Bluetooth speaker in each corner (plugged into to wall or micro USB chargable). Just whenever I'm on YouTube on my phone or computer, I can tap on the airplay button and the audio will play from all 4 speakers and I can tap again to switch back to my phone/computer audio. I have one speaker I can do this with, I just want 3 more and I don't want to have to worry about synchronization between all of them. Do I need to get a google home or amazon Alexa to pair all the speakers up? I have around $50-$100 budget and don't care for top sound quality at all, just synchronization.

You can't pair cheap speakers like this, I know the UE models are pairable up to a pretty larger number, but those are 50-100 each.

Many wireless speakers have speakers facing in different directions, I think you can use two and be just fine. These BOOM 2 models are $100 each and will pair well. Or for a bit cheaper, this is $80 each https://www.amazon.com/UE-WONDERBOOM-Super-Portable-Waterproof-Bluetooth-Speaker/dp/B06XT3BS3Q/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1512409195&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=ue%2Broll%2B2&th=1

For even cheaper, there are some budget brands that can pair speakers like BRAVEN 705 but those only go up to two, which may be OK for you anyway. Having a speaker in each corner is not really useful, you are better off with a pair of good quality speakers, or even one.

I just got the UE Megaboom for $150 (special edition model, they are normally $300 or close to that), and it fills a good size room. I'd pick one or two good speakers vs 4 worse ones.

The JBL Connect Plus app is supposed to let you use many of their speakers at the same time and even assign them as left and right. Only works with their models that are compatible with the app.
