6 Best Bluetooth Shower Speakers for Your Own Personal Concert

We've already written at length about why we love this thing. It's small, but it's got big sound. The highs are crisp enough to cut through the noise of a shower. The bass is big enough to fill the space, but it's obviously not going to shake the house. The waterproofing is great, and there are plenty of color options to match whatever look you're going for.

Also, we have to shout-out the on-device experience. The buttons are massive! It's perfect for when you're in the shower, away from your phone, and you want to skip, replay, or pause. Every shape is distinct, so you can control it with your eyes closed. It makes a huge difference in the shower.

UE's Boom 3 is just a really good speaker. It isn't built for showers in particular, but if you don't mind the price, we found it great for quality audio, with rich bass, intuitive controls, and waterproofing. You can even buy two and link them together for surround sound in your bathroom, if your bathroom calls for that.

The other big plus is the battery life. If you tend to forget to keep a speaker charged, this is the one that'll be the best for you long-term.

If you want a speaker to pull double duty—that is, as a shower speaker and general waterproof Bluetooth speaker—Marshall's Emberton is our pick. The retro look will always impress, the IPX7 rating ensures it will keep water out, and the rich sound will work anywhere.

The only hesitation we have with this one is the vegan leather trim. It's not real leather, so we've found that it doesn't get damaged in the same way, but we would still advise additional care. If it gets wet, towel it off, but other than that it'll be fine.

Sonos, master of the home audio domain, released its first genuinely portable and waterproof Bluetooth speaker this year. It's a good one. If you're already tapped into the Sonos ecosystem, you won't need much convincing here.

If you aren't, believe us when we say the audio is crisp, the companion app is actually useful, and the diminutive, streamlined design is ideal for any trip—including trips to the bathroom for long, hot, soundtracked showers.

Bose is known for great-sounding speakers, which, if you're fancy, you can set up in your bathroom. If this little speaker is up to the task of entertaining an outdoor party—especially with its crisp, balanced sound and deep bass—it's certainly up to supplying you with immersive music while you shower. The SoundLink Micro is fully waterproof and has a strap you can use to hang it up.

In terms of what we didn't love, the battery life isn't that great for a speaker over $100. Just expect to have to charge this one a little more. Also, there are a few crevices on the back that we found a bit tricky. If it gets wet, make sure you clean it thoroughly.

Kohler knows its way around a bathroom fixture. A speaker, not so much. So it leaned on Harman Kardon—the Rolls-Royce of high-fidelity speaker manufacturers—to supply that technology inside its Moxie showerhead. It's the most literal take on "shower speaker" on this list, and you'll feel the playlist blast from above, just like in a club—a real mood-swaying experience.

We loved the sound, and the fact that it comes from the showerhead improves the performance: The music is directed at you, so everything comes in more clearly.

Our only gripe was with charging. It's tough, because every model on this list requires charging. But with this one, you pull it out of the showerhead to charge it, and that creates additional problems. First, it's just one more friction point—another thing to do. Second, it creates a new crevice to clean.
