Whether you like listening to news or tunes when you’re showering, you’re probably long overdue for adding a shower speaker to your bathroom setup. Along with waterproof designs and high-quality sound, here’s everything to consider before buying a new shower speaker for yourself. Whichever speaker you choose, these will have you singing like no one’s listening in no time.
Sound Quality and Functions: When shopping for the best shower speaker, there’s more to your decision than simply making sure the speaker is waterproof. You want to make sure the speaker can deliver quality sound. All of the picks below deliver impressive audio for their size.
Beyond sound quality, you’ll want to consider all of the speaker’s functions, whether you’re a radio listener who wants FM functionality or you’re a strict minimalist who needs a speaker built into the showerhead. Other special features to keep in mind are that some shower speakers have built-in microphones, LCD clock displays and even enhanced bass.
Design: For those who seek the classic route and don’t necessarily want to invest in a new showerhead that comes with its own speaker, an important thing to take into consideration is how your new shower speaker will actually fit into your shower. Some of the best shower speakers have suction cups attached to them so that they can adhere to your shower’s walls. On the other hand, some come with lanyards that allow them to hang from your showerhead or from an attached shower caddy.
Classicly designed and simple to use, this waterproof shower speaker plays clear stereo sound even under the natural noisiness of showering. For such a compact speaker, it gives off a surprisingly loud sound, too. It comes with both a lanyard and a suction cup, so you can attach this speaker to your shower any way you’d like. Bluetooth connectivity lets you stream your favorite music, and thanks to a built-in microphone, you can even take a call in the shower if need be. Its built-in rechargeable battery has a lifespan of 12 hours.

Just because this speaker is miniature doesn’t mean that it’s lacking in sound quality. This waterproof Kunodi pick comes with its own subwoofer, which means that it can boost and enhance bass in your favorite tunes. Not only is this Bluetooth speaker waterproof, but it’s even shockproof and dustproof, so you don’t have to worry about it getting damaged when in use. Its alloy metal carabiner makes it super fast and easy to attach it to your shower caddy.

If you still pause your streaming to catch your favorite radio show, you’ll want to opt for this waterproof shower speaker. It has both Bluetooth connectivity and lets you listen to FM radio, too. The high-performance speaker fills the whole bathroom with clear sound, even when competing with the noise of the shower. You can attach it to the walls of your shower with the included suction cup, or you can hang it with its lanyard. Its rechargeable battery has a 10-hour lifespan, and the speaker’s built to consume a low amount of energy to save power. We also love this speaker for its LED display clock so you can always stick to your schedule.

If you’re fan of minimalist smart home products, you’ll love this sleek, nickel-brushed showerhead with a built-in Bluetooth speaker. Kohler, which is a well-known, trusted brand for kitchen and bath products, worked with Harman Kardon to create the speaker’s audio, so you can expect impressive sound when using it. The speaker has a nine-hour battery life, and when it’s time to recharge it, simply remove the speaker from the showerhead’s magnetic grip and attach it to the included charging station.
