Bluetooth speaker help needed.

[Quack Me Up]

I was wondering if anyone knows of a bluetooth speaker that can be set to NOT go to sleep or disconnect from my phone/iPod even if the phone/iPod is paused and not putting out any music?
I want the speaker to always be ready to play music as soon as I send the signal even if it's not for an hour or more since I last played it. I do NOT want to have to physically repower up the speaker.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Does it have to be portable (i.e., with a rechargeable battery)?

 

[Quack Me Up]

Yes. It will be used outside away from a power source.

Hmm, that might be hard to find -- I'd guess that all portable speakers that don't require a power cord would have an automatic power-off feature if there's no active connection for a certain time. Let me see what I can dig up.

If it helps, I don't care if it is connected via Bluetooth or if I need to use a 3.5mm aux cable.

I found that with Bose speakers, you can turn off auto-off -- but of course, Bose is on the pricier side: www.bose.com/en_us/support/article/turning-the-auto-off-feature-off-on-soundlink-color.html

Hey, at least it's something. I'll keep it in mind. Maybe something else will turn up.
Thank you.

There's a list here of some Sony speakers where you can turn off Auto Standby: https://www.sony-asia.com/electronics/support/articles/

The Anker Soundcore Boost might also work, as long as you're using Aux In: http://community.anker.com/t/is-there-any-anker-bluetooth-speaker-that-doesnt-auto-shut-off/74270/4
