I have a crappy "Oontz" brand speaker I got off amazon a long time ago and it has an aux. [Oontz 3](https://a.co/d/0czY413E)
I've got stereo Bluetooth speakers that are very affordable and are decent for the price. They are by Oontz. Def not audiophile quality but thought I'd mention. You can pair up to four together and has left and right channels. https://a.co/d/dUTUTGJ
I have a pair of Soundcore 2 speakers and I can safely say that they do not have big subwoofers or intense bass. It sounds like you want a speaker with no bass. I can't imagine enjoying listening to speaker with less bass than a Soundcore 2. I want thick bass, great mids, and clear highs. I also have an Oontz Angle 3 and it has virtually zero bass, I mean it gives the illusion of bass but it really doesn't have bass. I like the bass on my pair of Uboom L's in tws mode and my Soundcore Boom 2 (which delivers more bass than it should, which I love).
I also have an older Oontz Angle laying around. I used it when I worked in an office and just wanted listen to podcasts at my desk and I had to keep things confined in my cubicle and not annoy my coworkers. It has virtually no bass at low volumes. The Angle 3 has dual speakers and roughly twice the power. I don't like them for listening to music but they are great for low volume podcasts and talk radio. But for you they may be perfect, and they don't cost much. I think I paid $30 for the Angle 3. And maybe $20 for the small angle.
Oontz Angle 3 You get two of them and can have LR stereo. Amazing battery life and good range. And they're cheap as hell. Been using them for like 5 years
Klipsch The One in my dining room. Marshall Acton III in my BR. I LOVE these. The sound, the look, everything. Several JBL clip 5s for the yard that I auracast. Love this feature for sound throughout the yard that’s not too loud (unless I want it to be). In my office, I have a super old Pioneer XWSMA4 that used early wireless tech (not Bluetooth). The wireless was always hit or miss with it but the sound is good so I (gasp) wire it to my iPhone when I’m using it. I can’t bear to get rid of it cuz it was such a stretch financially when I first got it. You all get me right? No one else does. I have a JBL flip just in case. I bring this on vacation or I’ll bring a clip or both. I also have two oontz angles that started me on this Bluetooth speaker journey. They still work great too. So I have those for when I want to have music and not worry about my speakers.
I literally do this. I use a myVolts RIP cord 12v 1a model AA928MS. Anker Powecore III Elite USB power bank that will last for days. For a speaker OontZ Angle 3 rechargeable bluetooth speaker with an aux port. I play this on the couch but can also take this on work travel or backpacking.
The Oontz Angle is surprisingly solid for its size. I like mine. Edit: I also have this [Bose](https://www.bose.com/p/all-speakers/soundlink-color-bluetooth-speaker-ii/SLCOLORII-SPEAKERWIRELESS.html) which sounds great, but isn't very loud
I have a couple of Oontz Angle desktop size BT speakers, I've been happy with them. You might also want to check r/bluetooth
