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.

Just used one today to finish listening to a YouTube video while I was in the shower. It's not a "bathroom" speaker per se, just a pretty nice Bluetooth one, Anker Soundcore Boost, with enough volume to rise above the white noise of the shower and ventilation fan.
I know great (not excellent) sound quality and Bluetooth devices can be very good! I have a JBL Flip, and I have bone conduction headphones, and I have some Bluetooth earbuds. All are pretty good, but the bone conductions are my favorite.
Yeah, I usually use one for listening to news and podcasts in the morning. It'll start with me in the bathroom, then follow me to the kitchen while I make coffee. It doesn't live in the bathroom, but rather tag along with me. When showering I'll hang it from a little hook up high. Sounds perfectly adequate for my purposes, though for listening to music as an activity unto itself I would choose a higher quality device.
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)
Yes, for podcasts and then just transfer it back to my phone to continue listening as I get dressed/ready.
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.
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
Using a regular Anker BT speaker. Does it's job and sits on the sink playing music while I shower.
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.
Yup. Mostly for podcasts in the shower.
Tiny Alexa speaker that plugs into one of the power sockets does the job well
But why pay money specially for a spying device?
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.
I used to years ago, but nowadays Iβm not in the shower long enough to enjoy it.
Allows me to listen to audiobooks when I get ready in the morning. Couldn't live without it.
JBL Charge 3 does great for me, both as "outdoors" and "bath" speaker.
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.
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.
Rarely, only when I'm alone at home (so that I don't bother anyone) and when I take a long shower.
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.
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.
