Does anyone actually use bathroom bluetooth speakers? (programming.dev)

Seems pointless and inconvenient for me as they usually seem to be poor quality, and can you really listen to music in the shower, and are you showering long enough to benefit from it?

Or do you own one and use for a different purpose, like swimming or Kayaking?

Haha I used to. True story, my wife got me one in 2015 for my bathroom - built into the exhaust fan - I listen to the news while I shower in the morning.

Six months later, over at the neighbor's house across the street for a block party, and someone asks "Hey, anyone know who's blasting NPR at 4am every day?"

Turns out the exhaust fan taking the shower moisture out basically turned into a speaker cone and for months everyone on the street was waking up pissed off lol. Replaced with a regular fan and separate speaker, no more complaints.

Did they ever find out it was you?

Yeah I totally came clean, partially because I couldn't really believe it - the bathroom I use is in the basement - but the vent goes out the same spot as the laundry exhaust and damn.... I went and turned it on and it was clear over the block party :| everyone laughed :).

Also live in a place where most sleep with the windows open - I don't think it was ever in much doubt heh. I've got pretty cool neighbors.
