Yes, I’ve heard that this so called “feature” or bug is only for a few select speakers. I honestly wish I could find more definitive information about this instead of hearsay because I’d like to purchase and use a bluetooth speaker that’s portable and doesn’t require a WIFI connection in order to keep VO with my phone and only my music, book, or TV show going to the speaker. My current setup isn’t exactly portable and WIFI is required if I want VO to stay with my device. The problem though is that it could be a bug instead of a feature and there is no way to know for sure just yet. It seems that some people like this and some people don’t. So, it’s hard to say. ☺️
