Need remote waterproof speaker

November 4, 2009 3:48 PM

Does anyone make a waterproof bluetooth speaker that I can use in the shower to listen to audio books from my iPhone.

It should be something I can permanently stick to the shower wall, so this won't work. I read this question but it doesn't really address my problem, as I don't have a glass shower door, only a curtain. (And no, I really can't hear the iPhone audio over the shower.)

I found a couple of products on Amazon.

This one hangs on the fixture. Will that work? Not Bluetooth, but still wireless. here ya go!

What about a wireless radio coupled with an iTrip type adapter?

bearwife: Thanks, but I'd like to keep my iPhone out of the shower.

jstef: Only one review on Amazon, 2 stars. Customer said he couldn't hear that speaker over the shower.

CharlesV42: I hadn't thought of using a shower radio like any of these with an FM transmitter. That might do what I need, assuming the FM transmitter works. I've never had much luck with them in cars.

If your shower is like mine, you don't really need waterproof, because the spot right under the shower head is a very dry dead zone, and there are other "safe" places, perhaps up high?

It might get an occasional splash or a little steam, but normal speakers can handle that.

That same website you linked to has some. Search for shower speaker.

Thanks, CathyG. This setup is basically what I'm looking for and it says it's iPhone compatible, but there are no reviews. I'm not sure how it's different from the one with low volume, other than having a different type of connector.
