There are plenty of waterproof speakers on the market that can be used in the shower. These speakers include models from JBL (Clip, Charge, Flip), SONY and Ultimate Ears.
Most importantly, the speaker has to be wireless and Bluetooth-compatible. Also, a good shower speaker should be small and easy to handle with wet hands.
Sound quality
Unlike regular speakers, which work with cables and wires, shower speakers use batteries. That’s why they need to be wireless (usually Bluetooth) and water-resistant or waterproof. Otherwise, you risk getting electrocuted or sustaining some kind of minor injury.
This model is pretty small but it can get loud and offer decent sound quality. The bass is missing but the mids are clear and articulate, while the highs sound kind of boring.
It also has LED lights that change color according to the music and it has 2 multifunction volume/track management buttons. The speaker can also be hung using the aluminum carabiner. It’s worth noting that this model has an IPX6 rating only, which is splash proof but not fully waterproof. It’s still safe to use it in the shower, though. Its built-in mic is also okay but you cannot talk while taking a shower because the sound of water overpowers your voice. Nevertheless, this model has a lot of benefits and is quite affordable.
Battery life
In shower, speakers work with batteries to play music and hands-free calls. They usually use Bluetooth to connect with a wireless device like your phone. Some have a built-in microphone and auxiliary inputs for connecting other devices. They also have a water-resistant housing and a waterproof speaker grill to protect them from splashes.
You should make sure that your shower speaker is a high-quality product from a trusted brand. This will ensure that it’s durable and has a long battery life. It’s also important to check the warranty for any issues that may arise.
A good shower speaker should have easy-to-use controls and Bluetooth connectivity. It should be able to pair easily with other devices and allow you to play music for a long time. It should also have a light-up button to control tracks and volume and offer a 3.5mm auxiliary port for connecting other devices. It’s also a good idea to look for a speaker with a rechargeable lithium ion battery that can last up to 18 hours before it needs to be charged.
Waterproofness
Unlike the multipurpose speakers you use all over the house, which will probably survive a bath or a shower but not a full immersion into water, your shower speaker must be waterproof. For this purpose you should look for a model with an IPX rating that indicates it can be submerged for 30 minutes in water at a depth of 1 meter.
You can usually attach your shower speaker to the wall or the shower cabin using suction cups, hanging hooks or moldable tails that can be twisted around a rod or similar object. You should also make sure it can float in a bathtub or that it comes with a carabiner clip to hang it from a shower head or a curtain.
The shower speaker from Avantree is a great choice for this purpose as it has a cork back that enables it to float in a bathtub, and a built-in carabiner clip allows you to keep it close at hand. Although its sound quality is not that impressive (bass is non-existent) it is still surprisingly satisfying for such a small and inexpensive device.
Controls
Unlike other bluetooth shower speakers that use a turbine to generate power, this speaker works by using the movement of water to create electricity. This energy powers the speaker, and you can listen to your favorite tunes while showering.
While the sound quality of this speaker is great, some issues with this product include the suction cup (it becomes unreliable over time) and the track management buttons (they are small and not clearly distinguished). The microphone also does not work well in the shower – it is impossible to hear your own voice because the noise from the water is so loud.
Overall, the Hrome shower speaker is a good choice if you are looking for a waterproof, portable bluetooth speaker that can play your favorite music while you’re taking a shower. Its high-quality audio sounds crisp and clear, and the battery lasts for a long time. It has a standard Bluetooth connection that pairs quickly and easily.
