Does this speaker timeout if there is not a Bluetooth device attached to it, or do you have to manually turn it on and off?

You have to hold the power button for a couple of seconds, but it makes a cute robot power-down noise when you do so.

Mostly yes because it simply connects to the headphone jack (has additional adapters too). Remember the 2 annoying things 1)you can use the remote to turn the speakers off but not for turning on when you need (hard to imagine that these days) 2) Keeps chirping when you turn the source off (quite possibly the wi-fi and cell phone )

You would need to actively turn it off and un-pair from the bluetooth devices.

My version B turns off automatically when not in use, is that what you are talking about? I think it waits like 5-10 minutes. I rather like this feature.You should contact Amazon directly about your replacement questions.

Hi TKOC,Thanks for the question. Were the Apple products connecting before the update? If it is an update issue, perhaps a call to Apple could resolve this. Otherwise, the speakers could think they are still connected to a device. Like Frank suggested, unplug the speakers for 15 minutes. Turn off bluetooth on all devices that you paired with these speakers. You may even want to power off those devices. Then restart everything. Hopefully this will take care of it. Please contact AV-Express if we can be of further assistance.

I have this issue as well. Occasionally the speaker will start skipping (about 1/8 - 1/4 second of music goes missing, once ever 30-60 seconds) and will continue to do this. During some sessions it won't do this. I've experienced this with an iPhone 4s and various Windows Phones. This is the only Bluetooth speaker I've seen this skipping on, and I've used a lot of different Bluetooth speakers and headphones.

It's automatic when you turn it on. I've found that some devices link up easier than others. Sometimes I have to look for CC-B SPEAKER on my list of available devices and select it. I'm very happy with my Brick, I use it all the time.

For me, playing audio from my tablet to this Bluetooth speaker, the speaker batteries lasted for a little over a total of 15 hours. When the battery starts getting low, the speaker beeps every few minutes without being obnoxious or interfering with the audio to which you are listening. Even then, I noticed that the speaker kept playing another 20 or 30 minutes before completely dying, so it isn't like some devices that warn you and then die 30 seconds later.

I'm sorry, I have not experienced this issue. I use android phones and an iPad just fine. However, I do not leave the speakers on 24/7

Has the speaker been connected to another device? If so you might have to delete it from that device first

I believe after an hour or 2 of being inactive, it automatically shuts off. Once you sync with blue tooth, everytime you turn it on, it will start playing music from your device. Do what I do and keep the remote at a convenient location. Overall this speaker is totally worth the price surprisingly coming from a CD manufacture company. Definitely good for outdoor or bed room.

I purchased this speaker and loved it for a month or two then it would no longer connect. I thought it was the USB receiver so I purchased a replacement. Still no connection :( . I researched trouble shooting to no avail. Speaker does work on Bluetooth though. ???

I have two of these speakers. The first one I bought stays on all the time. The second one turns itself off after awhile. No idea why.

I think it works that way. I notice it go to sleep mode after a while if no activities. There are couple settings at the bottom of the speaker for sleep mode settings. I love this speaker.

If music is not being played it times out. I haven't had this problem. Mine is in wired mode also. j

One thing to think about is that even if this is on an outlet with a switch the speaker will stay on even after the power is cut, it'll run on battery, and it also won't come on by itself when the power comes on, it'll charge but you'll still need to press the power button. As for bluetooth you'll only need to pair a device once with the speaker. I leave my phone's bluetooth off when I'm not using it, but when I turn the bt on when the speaker is on and in range it connects all by itself. Every once in a while I'll need to go to my phone's bt settings and select the speaker before it connects but I've only needed to go through the whole pairing process once per device. One last thing to think about is that one thing that makes this speaker really great is how portable it is (the battery lasts forever), but if you're looking for something to sit in one place all the time there may be other speakers that don't have an internal battery that may have slightly better sound quality. Regardless this is a great speaker, I'm amazed by the sound quality every time I turn it on.

Yes there is a loud connected/disconnected voice that is associated with the Bluetooth connecting. Unfortunately it can't be disabled as far as I know. But I don't find it to be much of an issue. The overall sound and quality of this speaker is excellent and for the price it is a great purchase!
