If "the same device" is a MacBook you create an multi output device in the Audio Midi Setup utility as instructed here.
If the device is another type of device, you need an app/speaker that allows it. I use Ultimate Ears party up with my 3 Boom speakers. In theory this allows up to 150 speakers to join up.
EDIT: And just now I've noticed this is in the #iPhoneX forum.

Airplay is NOT bluetooth, it uses WiFi. Although, come to think of it, last iterations might use BT. Anyone that can shed some light here?

I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough, by "device" I meant the one connecting to the bluetooth speaker, and I wrote that before realizing you asked for help on the iPhone X forum, meaning your device was the iPhone X.
As I wrote before, to connect more than one bluetooth speaker to your phone you need speakers that support this, most probably through the app of the speakers (at least Bose and Ultimate Ears have apps that allow this with their speakers/headphones).
In my particular case, I use Ultimate Ears and their app, and I'm pretty happy with the results.
I’m sorry I completely misspoke, I meant my the device is indeed my iPhone X that I was trying to connect to Bluetooth speakers to.
It’s different for each company but usually you pair the speakers together and then you connect one of those to your phone. At least that’s how JBL has you do it.
As far as I know you’re going to have to have the same brand and they have to be compatible. I’m not aware of any brands that will sync up with different brands and play at the same time.
