Seems pointless and inconvenient for me as they usually seem to be poor quality, and can you really listen to music in the shower, and are you showering long enough to benefit from it?

Or do you own one and use for a different purpose, like swimming or Kayaking?

    Ironically my girlfriend used to use one and now doesn’t, but I’ve started to use one.

    I found a cheap no name Amazon speaker on the ground in the snow and it still worked. Stuck it in the bathroom since it was obviously waterproof. Now that I’ve grown my hair longer and have to commute again, I’m in the bathroom longer and use the time to finish up the bits of podcast I don’t get to finish on my commute.

    Like others have said, sound quality isn’t the best, but gets the job done. With all the other noises in the bathroom, pristine sound isn’t gonna happen from any source, let alone cranked built in phone speakers.

      A lot of people don’t understand how much time long hair actually adds. When mine was reaching my hips it would add 10 minutes to my shower. I wasn’t even doing conditioner or anything; it just takes forever to get all of your hair lathered up and then rinsed out. Now that my hair is short again I’m in and out in less than five minutes, but I wouldn’t have minded music back then.

        It definitely came as a shock to me. I’ve had really short hair for the last 20 years and decided to grow it out last year for funsies. It’s at my shoulders now and I didn’t notice the time creeping up as it grew, but I can see it on the clock now!
