mains and battery powered bluetooth speaker

waterman3

I'm looking to buy a bluetooth speaker for under £40. I want to use it plugged into the mains for the majority of the time but will occasionally want to use it on the go.

Most of the speakers I've seen just come with a usb. I know you can connect usb to some plugs but I'd rather the plug came with the speaker.

Are there any bluetooth speakers that you can use connected to the mains but then you can disconnect the speaker when you want to use it on the go?

I can't find any.

If you have old hi-fi lying around, you could get a bluetooth receiver instead.

Yeah I bought a bluetooth receiver off ebay recently for about £7, primarily for use with car stereo, but because it just uses a standard 3.5mm stereo jack, it works just fine with pc speakers too.

That then gives you a wide range of (non-bluetooth) speakers to choose from. You can probably pick up some mains-powered pc speakers from a charity shop for a couple of quid, and then just buy some separate battery-powered ones for when you're out and about.
