I’ e been randomly replacing duplex outlets with the newer style that incorporate Bluetooth plugs so I can charge or run Bluetooth devices most anywhere.

Menards frequently has the Bluetooth equipped outlets on sale.

What the hell is a Bluetooth plug, can you post a link?

Can the USB speakers/sound bars run continuously hooked to a USB wall socket? I've read that LiOn stuff doesn't like being continuously on recharge status .

I took it the OP wanted to avoid the hassle of replacing or recharging batteries, hence his quest for AC power. If not, and you need to periodically unplug/plug the speakers back up, then it is still the hassle he was trying to avoid

I skipped Bluetooth and went straight to Wi-Fi speakers. You can get a Google mini on sale for like $30. JBL used to make a really nice Link Portable that you can sometimes find on Ebay that came with a charging base you could just leave it on. I have one of those in my attached garage. Altec Lansing used to make the Live2Go series, which are also on Ebay. They had both a battery and wall powered unit, with the battery unit being IP67 waterproof. I have one of those out by my pool. Get a Spotify account. Make sure you cast my friends band, "Frank Muffin"

JBL is still making Wi-Fi speakers, but they are pricey. Altec Lansing only makes Bluetooth stuff now.

I may switch everything to Sonos if I ever find a good deal. They are the best Wi-Fi speakers.
