It works great with the Ion Block Rocker. The only way to "turn it off" since there's no switch would be to pot down the volume on the Block Rocker or unplug it...

Yes you can shut it off..I usually leave mine off most of the time, and the battery is still good....The noise canceller works fine while shut off for outside loud sounds and noises..I love mine and would but them again given the chose.....

I am not aware of any external option which shuts off the stand by mode. I usually just reach over and turn the volume off and then back on, if I know that I need instant response. I would say that most of the time it responds in a couple seconds when audio is being generated.

If you pause it then shut it off it will keep your place. Even after charging when it usually returns to the spot that says music you can always resume where you left off. It saves it. Hope this was helpful? I love it myself?

This is was worked for me, go to control panel. Under system without clicking on it there should be device manager which will open up a window with a list of your devices. Find your Bluetooth adapter and double click. In that windows go to the power management tab and uncheck the box that allows the computer to shut the adapter off to conserve power and click ok. I hope this helps.

I've never had a problem turning mine off. It goes a long time with the battery charge on the computer. Audiophile Ann

It lasts around 8 hours bluetooth maxed out. if plugged directly into the ion and volume isnt all the way up itll go longer. but not 50 hours. I dont think there is anything that lasts 50 hours with bluetooth

The speaker has a brief tone when first turned on and again when the bluetooth connects. The loudness depends on the volume setting. I do not know if it can be turned off completely. It also has indicator lights for power, charging, and bluetooth status.

Typically on boom boxes, you turn it off by switching it to the "tape" function. That is it's off position. Well, I see this is 14 months after the question was asked, LOL but hopefully it will help answer the question for someone else. ;)

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.

The only way you can shut it off is by pausing a song and then press the hold button. It will go off and say see you later. Goodluck!!

The best thing to do with this or any bluetooth speaker is to use a small power bank. This way, you can take the speaker with you and play it all day long without running out of power. I use my Zoom Power Bank and it works AWESOME, plus it comes with the 3 in 1 cord which has the micro USB to charge this speaker. bPOWERED UP 6000 mAh Universal Portable External Battery Power Bank with Aluminum 3-in-1 Cord Lightening Plug, Blue

You will see the battery light turn off once the battery is full. There should be no reason that it can remain plugged in. The battery is a Lithium Battery, just like most cell phones. Now with that said...all of us have used our cell phones while it is plugged in and they tend to get hot. My advice would be to use this as it was designed. Charge it....unplug it....use the speaker..recharge when battery is low. There are other bluetooth speaker that you can get that don't have a rechargeable battery in them that will remain plugged in via their own AC Adapter. I personally dont like to use my portable gadgets that have rechargeable batteries while they are plugged in.

No, this is not normal. When connected to Bluetooth, I can power off my speaker, and the speaker turns-off. My device is nearly two years old. I cannot imagine they changed the way the power switch works, but who knows.

My speaker doesn't indicate when the battery is running low. It also stays on forever when I charge it. But I don't experience what you are experiencing. You might want to return it for another one.

I actually have not used the speaker with just the batteries on. I have been using it plugged in all the time.I am now curious to see if that happens if I tried it with just the batteries. It could a power saving mode.

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.
