So I've been frustrated with the same issue and was ready to sell them. Using an iPhone12 I found that I must use the Boom app to power on both speakers for the best results. Do not use the physical buttons. Of course, they need to be connected to your phone as a bluetooth device before these steps work.
So the steps I found that work for me are:
- Load the Boom app, wait 5-10 seconds
- Tap on 1 of the speakers and power it up and be patient, wait for it to completely power on and do its start up routine. It could take almost a minute or more.
- Then switch to the 2nd speaker in the app, wait ~15 seconds (Otherwise the device will not be found), and power it on from the app. Same as before, wait roughly 1 minute for it to power on and do the start up routine.
- Then try to Party Up .
This almost always works for me.
What sucks is if someone brings their boom speaker to my place, I don't think I could safely add their speaker to the party up like I used to before.
Don't forget to jump on one foot and pray to the Boom gods while you are doing all the steps Hehehe. :-)

I have 4 boom 3 and they keep disconnecting when in party up mode. I tried connecting 1 on Bluetooth and use the others on the app, also connecting all 4 on Bluetooth but same result?

Also experiencing the same. Was hoping to get surround sound in my house. Very disappointed.

This is starting to happen to me as well. When I try to party up with my Boom 2.
I loaned my Megaboom 3 to my daughter and it happened when she paired it up with hers as well.
