Default Bluetooth speaker recommendations

No computer just an iPad Pro 12"

I'm trying to develop my ear but realize two channel of dual speakers would be better. My iPad is Bluetooth only and my BT speaker blends both together. No left/right.

Anyone know of such a product?

I use my iPad to play along with covers,while the music plays in background.

My phone has a headphone jack outlet so I could que up something that way. Recommendations for either are appreciated.

Default plenty loud

Assuming you are playing acoustic, these are probably overkill. I needed something with enough power to play electric guitar against backing tracks for church. Tried several of the popular brand smaller speakers, no real separation for stereo, found these by reading reviews on amazon:

I need Bluetooth no stereo system....or a headphone line out from my iPhone to them.

Get 2 UE booms or mega booms and they can be paired for stereo

IMO, everybody needs a stereo (assuming they don't have one), especially a music lover. Get the best one that you can afford, plus one of these (or equivalent):

You can get a Bluetooth receiver unit that has rca outs, pair with that and plug it into anything stereo - powered speakers, for example. They are normally used to add Bluetooth functionality to existing stereo systems-

Stereo being left / right channel. Correct?

Thanks for the tip.

I have two Oontz Angle 3, they're made by Cambridge Soundworks. They often go on sale on Amazon and I snagged one on Prime Day for 1/2 price. The neat thing is that if you do end up with two (you really only need one) you can pair them to each other and one will be the right channel and the other. The battery never seems to run low and even when just using one it's plenty loud.

I find that you can't go too far wrong with the brand Anker. I bought a few for my children's school. I think they were under $20 on sale.

Creative D80 or D100 wireless stereo speakers will do exactly what you want. This is IMHO the best-kept secret around in a Bluetooth / wired speaker.

UE makes fine Bluetooth speakers, but they disappointed me by abandoning the iPhone app that lets me make a stereo pair from my two MiniBooms. I now use them in dual mono, but it’s not as good. I had then for less than one year when the spreadsheet jockeys at UE decided to “sunset” the product.
