Wait, My Speaker Can Talk to Another Speaker?
You’ve seen the term TWS on our boxes and all over the Bull Audio site. You know it means "True Wireless Stereo," and you know it sounds cool. But what is actually happening inside that sleek casing?
If you’ve ever felt like one speaker just isn't enough to fill the rooftop inuman or the beach layout, TWS is your new best friend. It’s the difference between hearing music and feeling a concert.
Let’s nerd out for a second on the tech that makes the "Smart Flex" possible.
The Tech Breakdown: How TWS Actually Works
In the old days (like, five years ago), if you wanted a stereo setup, you needed a tangled mess of AUX cables and a bulky amplifier. TWS changed the game by using Bluetooth 5.0+ to create a digital handshake between two speakers.
1. The Master and the Slave (The Digital Handshake)
When you initiate TWS pairing, the two speakers assign themselves roles:
-
The Master: This speaker connects directly to your phone. It receives the full audio signal, keeps the "timing," and then broadcasts half of that data to the second speaker.
-
The Slave: This speaker listens only to the Master. It stays perfectly in sync (we're talking milliseconds of precision) so there’s zero echo.
2. Splitting the Channels (Left vs. Right)
Standard Bluetooth speakers are usually "Mono"—they cram all the instruments and vocals into one output. When you pair two Bull Audio speakers via TWS, the tech splits the audio signal.
-
Speaker A takes the Left Channel (the bass guitar, the backup vocals).
-
Speaker B takes the Right Channel (the lead guitar, the hi-hats).
The Result: A massive 3D soundstage. You’ll hear sounds moving from left to right, just like the artist intended in the studio.
Why TWS is a Game-Changer for the Barkada
It’s not just about being "louder" (though, let's be real, 2x the Alpha speakers is insanely loud). It’s about coverage.
-
The Beach Flex: Place one Drift at each end of your picnic mat. No matter where someone is sitting, they get crystal-clear audio without you having to blast the volume to 100% and annoy the neighboring groups.
-
The Rooftop Arena: Use two Alphas at opposite corners. The TWS connection creates a "sweet spot" in the middle of the dance floor where the bass is punchy and the vocals are sharp.
The "Smart Flex" Setup: How to Pair Your Bull Audio Speakers
Ready to double the power? Most Bull Audio speakers (like the Twist, Drift, and Alpha) follow this simple TWS protocol:
-
Power On: Turn on both speakers (make sure they aren't connected to your phone yet!).
-
The Handshake: Double-click or long-press the TWS/Mode button on one speaker. You’ll hear a "beep" or a voice prompt—that’s them becoming "besties."
-
Connect: Now, open your phone’s Bluetooth. You’ll only see one Bull Audio device in the list. Connect to it, and boom—both speakers will start playing in perfect sync.
💡 Tech Tip: TWS works best when the speakers are within 5-10 meters of each other. Bluetooth signals don't like thick concrete walls, so keep a clear "line of sight" for the smoothest connection!
TWS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I pair a Nova with a Drift? A: For the best stereo experience, TWS works between two speakers of the same model (e.g., Alpha + Alpha). This ensures the sound profile and volume levels are perfectly matched.
Q: Does TWS drain my phone battery faster? A: Nope! Your phone only talks to the "Master" speaker. The speakers do the heavy lifting of talking to each other.
Q: Will there be a delay when watching movies? A: Because Bull Audio uses the latest Bluetooth 5.0+ chips, latency is minimized. It’s perfect for turning your tablet into a mini home cinema.
