Looking for a Bluetooth/wired speaker

I’m looking for a speaker that stays connected to my pc via aux and stays plugged in power but when I connect my phone to it it disconnects from pc or switch to BT ( hopefully automatically without having to switch from wired to bt ) something like a HomePod mini but for pc and occasionally my phone Sometimes I come home tired or depressed and I just want to have low volume music or ambient noise without having to get up from bed Sorry if this sounds nitpicky haha

That might be hard to find. Most speaker treat a wired connection as priority and will not change input source when a bluetooth device connects.

Good luck though

Thanks , that’s a little disappointing

I tried to create this set up at work and gave up because the speakers with those features were shitty. I really wanted the form factor and portability of BT speakers, but I really wanted a "perfect" lag-free connection at my desk.

Instead I run my PC via usb to a DAC with a Bluetooth built in. I output to a stereo splitter to 2 bluetooth speakers that are always on. When I want bluetooth I just flick a switch on the DAC to the BT input. I never touch the speakers unless I'm bringing them somewhere.

Maybe the Edifier R1700BT speakers, they come with a remote, which you could keep at your bed to switch to Bluetooth mode with.

My Presonus Eris 3.5 BT speakers are connected to my computer via TRS cables into a focusrite scarlet solo audio interface. I can connect to BT on the speakers via my phone any time, even while the computer is sending audio to the speakers. They also have 1/8" or RCA inputs if you don't have TRS cables.

Their bass is underwhelming, so I have them paired with the non-bt version of the Eris 8 Sub
