Enjoy the relaxing vibes of your favorite tunes with a shower speaker. Shower speakers are designed to provide a quality sound experience in an easy-to-tote package. Humidity and water aren’t a problem either; these speakers are built to endure moisture. We’ve curated the perfect list of shower speakers to enhance your downtime.
Unlike other pint-sized speakers, this thing outputs balanced audio with crisp highs and thumping bass. There's a rubber strap on the back to attach this speaker to towel racks, backpacks, and poolside coolers, but it also sits firmly on any counter with a rubberized bottom. A notable feature is a built-in speakerphone for making and taking calls, plus Siri and Google Assistant compatibility. The battery in this Bose model lasts six hours, and it has an IP6 rating, so it's truly waterproof.
When your bank balance is your first consideration, the SoundBot SB519 is the shower speaker you want. This palm-sized model attaches to any surface with a suction cup, and it holds on strong, even on a shower wall. The built-in mic works as it should, allowing you to handle phone calls while you manage your bathroom business. Battery life is roughly six hours, and there are five buttons on the face-side of this speaker to control sound, power, and calls. Get one in green, yellow, black, blue, pink, or white. They all look sweet, and they're all waterproof in the shower or bath, poolside, on a boat, or hanging out outside in the yard.
The original JBL Clip came out six years ago, and each iteration gets better and better. The all-new JBL Clip 3 is a pocket-sized Bluetooth speaker with a carabiner-like clip at the top. Use the carabiner to hook this over a shower rod, your backpack strap, belt loops, and more. The Clip 3 has IPX7 waterproofing, so it's good to go in the rain, the bathtub or shower, or on your next camping trip. The built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery is quick to recharge and guarantees a solid 10 hours of life. If that weren't enough, use this little guy as a speakerphone. Calls are crystal clear, and so are tunes. Basses boom like they should, and you get remarkable highs and lows from this tiny, go-anywhere speaker.
The cylinder-shaped Ultimate Ears Boom 3 shoots out 360 degrees of pulsating sound to every nook and cranny in the room. The bass is deep, trebles are accurate, and it's all so well balanced you won't believe the upgrade in bathroom acoustics you'll get from this little shower speaker. The Boom 3 comes in five bold colors and is so completely waterproof it can float in water without skipping a beat. Best of all, it's good for 15 hours of battery power, so you can also keep this by the pool or in the sauna for all-day entertainment. A bungee hanger on the back gives you a way to secure the Boom 3 to nearly anything, and it also sits upright (and looks awesome) anywhere inside or out.
The Jam Hang Up comes with a strap for hanging, but it also has a sticky pad on the back that lets you attach it to any smooth surface. Hang it from a shower wall, a boat, the ceiling, a mirror, or your locker. It works almost anywhere and defies gravity. This model is speakerphone-friendly, has an aux-in port for those who don't have Bluetooth, and the rechargeable battery gives you eight hours of playtime. With an IP67 rating, the Hang Up can be submerged in up to one meter of water for an hour, plus its dust and dirtproof. As for the sound, it's impressive for its size. We had no trouble hearing beats, making calls, or hearing callers over a running shower.
Complete with an IPX7 rating, this Bluetooth speaker can go right in the shower with you. There's a removable suction cup on the back to stick it to any wall. It also floats in your tub or pool if that's your thing. You'll get 3D stereo sound that's on par with other speakers this size, plus a backlit clock, built-in microphone, and speakerphone for calls, FM radio, and a beat-driven light show courtesy of LED lights. The battery on the BassPal is good for eight hours of music, and it's right at home in the shower, on the beach, or even on the corner of your desk.
