Do portable speakers without bluetooth exist? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello! I'm new to Lemmy (this is my first post, I'm excited) so please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong.

Now my question: I'm looking for portable speakers that have their own rechargeable battery but just aux input, no bluetooth, no wifi etc. Does this exist?

Thank you and have a nice day.

They used to, but I'm not sure they are really made anymore. Maybe some bottom-of-the-barrel stock?

If you're looking for good audio quality, might be easier to just get whatever BT speaker and remove/burn out the Bluetooth chip or remove the antennas

This is probably the best approach.

Just simply not using the Bluetooth would work. Every BT speaker I've had requires pressing the BT button to pair - it would be trivial to simply cut the wires on the button or just glue the button so it doesn't move.
