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?
I have several JBL speakers that are awesome. I listen to music and podcasts in the morning while I get ready. Bring it into the shower, carry it around the house, take it hiking. Can’t go wrong with a decent Bluetooth speaker.
Pointless? Yeah, it's a luxury.
Inconvenient? I'm not sure I understand that part. You just queue something up as you're getting ready to shower.
Showering long enough to benefit from it? I mean, yeah? For the 10 or so minutes I'm in the shower, I hear some music and that's nice.
I think you might be getting some really bad bluetooth speakers if they sound so bad and are so hard to operate that you find the process frustrating.
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
I ran rca jacks throughout the house. These are connected to a distribution amp. Then I have cheap PC speakers plugged into that from the main receiver. This is structured wiring so they can be changed to Ethernet if necessary.
Usually I listen to the news in the morning while showering.
Another way to do it is make dongles for unused phone jacks. Just make sure they aren't plugged into the Telco as a landline.
Since my phone is water resistant, I put a magnetic mount in the shower to listen to music, podcasts, and the occasional Teams meeting if I’m running late.
A Teams meeting!? I wish I was as brave as you. I'm not even brave enough to poop while listening to a Teams call, much less showering. I'm terrified they'll call me out and I'll either have to unmute at the worst possible moment or stay muted and have my boss assume I'm not paying attention.
If I showered during a meeting I would be paranoid about somehow magically turning on my camera.
I use a cheap little speaker pretty much every time I shower, but I tend to listen to music whenever I'm getting ready anyway. Because it's a cheap one, the sound isn't amazing, but when I'm in the shower the other noises drown a lot of the sound out anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
I'm disabled though, so I tend to get in the shower after my wife and kid have left the house, and I take a while. If I shower in the morning, my washing and dressing routine can take close to an hour, so it's not like I'm jumping in and out before the first song has the chance to finish.
I hadn't thought of listening to a podcast or audiobook while I'm getting ready though, so that might be worth a try :)
I have an umbrella with a Bluetooth speaker. It even allows phone calls while using it. No idea why it's a thing, but I found it could be fun to use as a rave-toy thing. Just gotta add some LED lights and choreography!
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.
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.
Using a regular Anker BT speaker. Does it's job and sits on the sink playing music while I 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.
