I used to have this problem quite frequently with bluetooth speakkers. I 
haven't had it in a long time, and I don't have it with any of the 
bluetooth speakers or head phones I have at the moment.

I believe this problem is caused by some energy saving logic in the 
bluetooth speaker. When it doesn't detect any input, it goes to sleep 
and wakes itself back up when it has some input coming in. This isn't a 
problem with music or other streaming material, since it's being 
received by the bluetooth speaker in a continuous stream. This is 
obviously an issue with screen readers though, who send their output to 
the speakers in short bursts. This doesn't impact keyboards because of 
course keyboards only send messages out in bursts, and of course it's 
going in the opposite direction.

I can't tell you what to do, but I primarily use my bluetooth speakers 
for streaming content and not for interacting with my screen reader. If 
that's what you want to use your bluetooth speaker for then I'd suggest 
getting a bluetooth speaker that works for you.

Have you tried this speaker with your iPhone? Do you get the same 
latency? The energy saving feature may be in the Windows driver rather 
than in the speaker.
