Unlike my wife, who enjoys reading a good book in the bath, I like listening to music in the bath or shower.
The only way to do that currently is to drag the Tablet PC or laptop near the bathroom and snake the speakers inside. I don’t like doing this though because it seems to me that the steamy bathroom environment isn’t too healthy for these computers.
I decided to do a little recon to see what I could find in the way of wirelessly streaming the music from the PC (or iPod, MP3 player, etc) to speakers that were actually intended to be played in a bathroom.
The iSplash Wireless SplashProof Speaker System ($99.95, affiliate) reminds me a bit stylistically of the RadioShark and would be a good replacement for soap on the rope.
Time to come clean, who else is into shower music power?
is i Splash good quality speakers?

Uh, might want to relax mari AKA lala. Why the name change? We haven’t bought one of these speakers so can’t speak to the quality of them. Please write back and let us know what the quality is like as we’re curious.

The sound quality is fine for the shower - not amazing, but pretty good. The speaker can also go very loud if you turn up your mp3 player.

I bought one and really want to keep it. However, I’m on my fourth unit as two were defective and one went through batteries at the rate of six a day. If others have a comment on another product which provides this function (i.e. waterproof), please post it to my blog.
As for the unit, it’s fine for what it does, however I would like it to do more. I would like it to have a display so you can choose what to play from your song list as well as the ability to pause songs and the like. If you’re using it as part of your PC which is setup in another room, you need something like Clicker from Sailer software (sp) for this to best work.

[…] I bet there probably already is such an animal. Note to crowd who craves a non-powered tablet in the shower for those, well, inspirational shower thought moments, look no further than the shower tablet ($17.99 via Yahoo). This kind of reminds me of those shower speakers which onr Hmm reader said he was on his fourth defective unit (ouch). […]

[…] Some might remember me posting about enjoying listening to music in the shower. Received some helpful feedback from that post so now am looking for something portable and splashproof outside the shower and house that can play MP3. Has to have decent speakers because my hearing isn’t very good. […]

[…] On a more serious note, I’m still looking for a good shower / bath speaker system. […]

I never take my laptop into the bathroom. What can I say: I watch too many horror films where someone’s in the bath and all of a sudden something electrical decides to go walkies into the tub. The laptop in the hallway is as close as to the bathroom as I’m prepared to go. The Speaker System you mentioned comes a close second. Might check it out. Cheers.
