I find the main issue is that for it to be loud enough to be clear over the shower (audiobook) it has to be loud enough that I worry it'll annoy my neighbours upstairs/my flatmate

It's great for podcasts or morning news, I would imagine. Like pop in the shower while you listen to NPR or the local news stuff. I remember as a kid, listening to morning radio with traffic reports, weather, and current news to talk about during your workday.
I did before Google sent me a free Google Home. Before that I played music from a beat up tablet I just kept in the bathroom.
no need. the tv is right around the corner and i can hear that just fine.... all i have to do is leave the door open a bit.
(yea. i live alone)
I got a water proof one with a suction cup, put it on the wall and it just slid down to the floor. Ended up just placing it on the sink.
It's okay when you listen to podcasts or audio books while showering.
Yes, for podcasts and then just transfer it back to my phone to continue listening as I get dressed/ready.
I use a Sonos Roam. Itβs the least-good-sounding speaker in my Sonos setup, portable, wireless, and waterproof. Works really well for shower music.
can confirm, life quality went up
Yup. Mostly for podcasts in the shower.
Yea I start playing music from my phone as soon as I'm awake enough to figure out what I want to listen to. It helps me fully wake up a bit quicker. After shower, etc I change it to cast to my living room speaker system, or back to my phone (+headphones) if I'm going out.
I got a super high quality one at my work Xmas party last year. The Bluetooth in my car broke, so I keep the speaker in my car so I can jam while driving. It's nice.
Using a regular Anker BT speaker. Does it's job and sits on the sink playing music while I shower.
I used to years ago, but nowadays Iβm not in the shower long enough to enjoy it.
JBL Charge 3 does great for me, both as "outdoors" and "bath" speaker.
Allows me to listen to audiobooks when I get ready in the morning. Couldn't live without it.
I use mine daily, but it's built into the bathroom vent fan. My only complaint is that I can't stop my phone from auto connecting to it.
Tiny Alexa speaker that plugs into one of the power sockets does the job well
But why pay money specially for a spying device?
Ive got a jbl clip 3 waterproof speaker that sounds pretty freaking great. I also use it in my car because my money for the project car ran out before I got to the sound system. Everything else is done though
I'm using a JBL flip which I just leave outside the shower on a shelf. Waterproof enough that I can adjust the volume by just reaching past the curtain.
Rarely, only when I'm alone at home (so that I don't bother anyone) and when I take a long shower.
I have 3 Google home products ( varying sizes) that sync music across the kitchen/living room, bathroom and bedroom. it makes fora. great listening experience.
I used to use a cheap Chinese bluetooth speaker and it was⦠OK.
Later upgraded to a Sonos Move which does double duty as a backyard speaker.
All my phone's have been IP68 rated for over half a decade now, I'm comfortable bringing my phone into the shower for news and to use the selfie camera as a mirror when I shave. My case also physically blocks the charging port as an extra safety measure anyway.
I feel like I can manage to get through the day not glued to media long enough to take a 15 minute shower
