Hi my "Samsung galaxy s5" keeps dropping out when i have the bluetooth on after about 10mins

The bluetooth connection is between my phone and Ruark M1 desktop speakers

My phone is on version 5

Its worse if I'm listing to a BBC podcast drops out after 5mins

The only thing I can do to reconnect is switch speakers off at wall plus switch bluetooth of on phone then start over again
 
The visibility timeout is only for when you are trying to pair with a new device, it determines how long the phone will remain visible to other BT devices so they can pair with each other. Once a device is paired with the phone that setting doesn't have any effect on operation.
Is this happening only with this device? If so I'd delete the pairing completely from both devices and start over.
