    Pairing without a button press is a horrible choice for a Bluetooth speaker, if someone like a neighbour sees it they can connect to it anytime of the day or night and there’s nothing you can do about it. There’s also an app called Bluetooth LE Spam that people can use to blast ads through it.

    That said if you really want one I’d look into Sony I had one of their higher range ones that did it.

      Sorry meant connecting, most I know only pair when you use the button then only connect to devices they’ve been confirmed via pairing previously

      I don’t want to necessarily have to get up each time to connect my device

        Something odd is occurring, as that’s how Bluetooth speakers normally work. (At least all the ones I’ve used)

        You pair your device once and anytime you turn it on it connects automatically.

        I suppose if your device (speaker or phone) is already connected to something else it won’t or if you’ve manually disconnected it may influence this.

        Anker speakers are probably the best bang for your buck.
