Windows 10: Pls recommend a bluetooth speaker that *does NOT auto shut off*.

I have a Logitech X300. After 10minutes of inactivity it shuts down automatically. How annoying. The is no power management checkbox to change in the bluetooth properties. I also have a generic Pictek Bomber speaker bought on Amazon which I like, no longer available. I need another one. The problem is that the auto shut-down is not always very explicit in the specs. TIA.

  Volume, and then select Playback devices.
• On the Playback tab, select the Bluetooth speaker, press and hold (or right-click) it, and then select
  Connect.
