Recommend a toddler-proof bluetooth speaker?

Something to stand up to a lot of punishment

My daughter is three and loves to "cast" (occupational therapy term for throwing stuff) so normal BT speakers are not really up to the task. She loves music and I doubt she will keep headphones on for more than 3 nanoseconds so a rugged/rubber kid friendly speaker might be a better option

There are more rugged ones available, but this Aomais is very durable and rugged and is much less expensive than fully ruggedized speakers.

The Aomais can be safely dropped from waist height on to hardwood, or thrown across a carpeted room, I cannot personally vouch for it surviving being thrown across a room into a concrete floor. The second product I linked almost surely would survive, but you could buy three of the others for that price, (maybe after breaking one the kiddo might learn to not throw electronics ?). Sometimes I let my toddler hold the speaker, but often I simply place it up on a shelf, and if they complain I tell them music is for listening to, not physically playing with, ymmv.

What about one that plugs into the wall? Pulls it out, no more music.
