Small Bluetooth speaker with audio input?

Hi all.

I'm looking for a small Bluetooth speaker, like the JBL Go 4. If it can fit in my pocket, awesome. But it needs to have an input jack. This is because I want a small speaker for random audio equipment, e.g. a small keyboard, without speakers of its own, but with an output jack.

I don't even really need Bluetooth, I just want that because of the rechargeable battery and thus probably more power. So, obviously I want to be able to check the battery status if I'm using it with either the iPhone or Mac.

Anybody know of one? Apparently the JBL Go 2 had a jack, but the 4 doesn't. It's hard to tell which ones do or don't, since so many just show you that in pictures. SO I thought I'd ask if anybody has any recommendations. If there's a decent one i can use it with a wired connection and as a handy Bluetooth speaker that's portable for the phone or Mac or whatever.

Thanks in advance for any help. I've gotten the Go 4 as a rec, and also a Sony, which isn't available anymore, there are other Sony speakers as alternatives, but who knows if they have a jack? The Go 4 doesn't.
