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.


I doubt it, because there was no reason for them to exist before wireless connectivity. So, every battery-powered portable speaker with an amplifier was designed to be wireless.
Not true, I had portable amplified speakers in the 90’s that worked via a cord.
They weren’t rechargeable, but used regular batteries.
Boomboxes existed for decades before Bluetooth
JBL speakers had wired input. As well as Bluetooth. Potentially buy a/hand now. But anny old speaker will have audio quality of its time. https://digimigia.com/do-jbl-speakers-have-aux-input/
Portable battery-powered speakers absolutely existed. I had several over the years. But by the time the portability was worked out, bluetooth was becoming more popular and quickly took over.
Phones used to use aux so we had small portable speakers with aux cables. I used to bring one with me when I worked at a pizza place, we’d take turns putting music on when we cleaned
Reality can be entirely derived from my perception of this moment.
