Bluetooth speakers are unfortunately designed to be easily discovered and paired with. Technically anyone can connect to your speaker, but there are quite a few things you can do to protect yourself from this nuisance. We just researched and wrote an article about this problem.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I wish there was a way. My downstairs neighbors are harassing me by taking over my bluetooth speaker. I called the police on them last night because my speaker started playing sounds of pornography. They pretended to be sleeping. The police told me that there was nothing they could really do about it. They were nice they did tell me that although they couldn't do anything to call back if it happens again.

Please try again later.i had the same problem,my JBL bluetooth speaker would pop on for no reason,then i discovered my neighbor was trying to play his speaker while the whole time he was actually connecting to mines, so...it kept happening i ended up having to unplug it every time i was done using it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you've paired your speakers with a Bluetooth device in the past, unplug your speakers and wait 5 seconds. Have your device ready to pair with the speakers. Step1: Initiate the Bluetooth connection on the device. Step2: Immediately after step 1, plug in your speakers. This should give you the connection first since you're closer to the speakers. If not, repeat until it works. That's what I had to do. :/
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In a short simple answer NO. You can not stop them from accessing it. Unfortunately, there aren't any security mechanisms in place, so I just hope that you are far enough away for only your devices to connect.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Haven't tried the BT capability myself, however, BT has a limited range of normally around 30' and in pristine facilities 60'. So the answer is: in a private home, probably not; In an apartment, possibly Yes. But since I'm a security type of guy, that is why unless absolutely necessary I use wire - whether for sound or internet the securest means of transmission always comes first!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't think there is a way to prevent it. But so far my neighbors haven't tried to access it. It's the same issue with most bluetooth devices (security). However, they won't be likely to access it because the bluetooth range doesn't reach very far & they'd have to listen to the speakers through walls. I only see it as issue if multiple people in one household want to use the speakers at the same time using the bluetooth or telling the difference between which speakers belong to who, if more than 1 set is available in the same area.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You must pair your computer to the speakers. This is done by entering the code displayed on your computer, once paired no other computer can use it unless you allow the speakers to be paired from another computer. Without the code no other computer can pair with the speakers.
