Has anyone tried this speaker with an iPhone 6 via Bluetooth or Airplay? Also, can I connect the speaker to our network with the iPhone 6 (cord)?

Yes, connectivity with bluets is good, but the sound quality is horrible (I think this is a limitation of bluetooth, not the device). Airplay sound quality is much better, but the speaker has wifi problems and will not remain connected to the network through wifi.

We gave this as a gift to our daughter; she loved it, but had difficulties connecting with Bluetooth.

Yes, the Harman Kardon Aura works with both Bluetooth and Airplay connections on an iPhone 6. You have to do network settings before using Airplay and be on the same network. You can also use the standard 3.5mm cord, I haven't tried using the Apple lightning cord to play music.

I also have an iPhone 4. Here is how it worked for me. I just turned on the speaker, then went to settings and bluetooth on my iPhone. Once the device showed up as BT-150, I tapped it and it connected. Of course you have to be within 30 feet or so from the speaker.

I don't have an iPhone. I do use the speaker with my iPad. I have a patch cord to connect the iPad to the transmitter. The transmitter sends the signal to the wireless speakers. That allows me to play music through Pandora, YouTube, or any other application on the iPad. It wouldn't surprise me if you could do about the same thing with an iPhone.

I can only play multiple speakers from my laptop. I presently have 4 different Airplay speaks that I can play simultaneously (2 are Phillips, 2 are another brand). Can also play a powered subwoofer through the audio output jack on my laptop. However, can only play one speaker through my iPhone or iPad. Wish there was a program update that will allow me to play multiple speakers through an IOS device.

Sorry, I don't use the bluetooth function. I connect with a very short audio cable. A friend of mine told me that audio quality is depreciated via bluetooth transfer vs. direct audio cable. Thus, I have not bothered to compare for myself since I am fine with resting my ipod atop the speaker, as it is connected via the audio cable.

Mine connected no problem to the iphone I have. I just followed the instructions that came with it. I could not get the speaker to charge though so I sent it back. I have an iphone 4s though. Not sure if that would make a difference or not. Maybe the speaker does not recognize the 5 for some reason.

Updated for those of you having this pairing problem with the big speaker.It will pair with your phone if you just plug it in, or at least think it is paired. It will play your calls through it, but not music.You need to do as the first commentor said and hold that button down between the volume buttons until it beeps and goes into pairing mode. Then you should be able to find it again and it will play music.If you previously paired without holding the button down, you should forget the device on your iPhone. Turn the speaker off and on and then use the button. The iPhone should be able to see it again after that. I almost sent mine back until I looked up the page for the large size.

Bluetooth is different from Airplay and it is inferior in single strength and sound quality among many other things. This has Airplay built in and it works great.

I had a similar problem my daughter and I had both paired our iPhones to the JBL speaker and what we had to do was turn off one So the other could connect or just disable Bluetooth for the one that you do not want to stream music from. Try that it may help

ok it's plugged into my iPhone 6 now how do you get the speakers to turn on? I see the music is playing but nothing from the speakers. Not the best directions.

hi Kim, Thanks for the question. Absolutely you can get iPhones to pair with these wireless outdoor speakers. Android, windows, anything with bluetooth transmitter like tablet or even laptop. Contact AV-Express for more information.

No this speaker does not support airplay. It is Bluetooth only or direct connect. I actually own this speaker. They do make a higher end model that does support airplay but not this model.

If you have a Bluetooth device such as an iPod, an iPad, smartphone, iPhone or tablet you can pair your device with the speaker and listen to the audio contents of your device without attaching it with a cable. I found it very easy to pair with my devices although you can only have one device paired at a time.

Since I have been using it with iPhone, I think you can listen to an iPod. However, you need a power adepter, which is not supplied with the speakers. (The ordinary iPhone power adapter works well.) You just connect the usb cable to the adapter as the power source and use the audio cord supplied with the product to connect the speaker and your iPod. Hope it's helpful!

Hi! I don't have an iphone, but I do have a mini ipad and works perfectly with both the wire and the bluetooth!! I totally recommend you this speaker.

You have to adjust the volume on the device you are using to connect to the speaker via bluetooth. I use my iPhone so I adjust the volume on that.
