Does anyone actually use bathroom bluetooth speakers?
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?
Yeah, I usually use one for listening to news and podcasts in the morning. It’ll start with me in the bathroom, then follow me to the kitchen while I make coffee. It doesn’t live in the bathroom, but rather tag along with me. When showering I’ll hang it from a little hook up high. Sounds perfectly adequate for my purposes, though for listening to music as an activity unto itself I would choose a higher quality device.
I’ve used one for podcasts, definitely. But even for music, they may be poor quality generally but they’re significantly better than a phone speaker, and much better than a phone speaker ten feet away through glass or plastic.
Every single shower. I fire up whatever podcast I’m in the middle of and between the shower, towelling off, moisturizing, and whatever else, it’s long enough to be worthwhile.
I have an umbrella with a Bluetooth speaker. It even allows phone calls while using it. No idea why it’s a thing, but I found it could be fun to use as a rave-toy thing. Just gotta add some LED lights and choreography!
I got a super high quality one at my work Xmas party last year. The Bluetooth in my car broke, so I keep the speaker in my car so I can jam while driving. It’s nice.
Haha I used to. True story, my wife got me one in 2015 for my bathroom - built into the exhaust fan - I listen to the news while I shower in the morning.
Six months later, over at the neighbor’s house across the street for a block party, and someone asks “Hey, anyone know who’s blasting NPR at 4am every day?”
Turns out the exhaust fan taking the shower moisture out basically turned into a speaker cone and for months everyone on the street was waking up pissed off lol. Replaced with a regular fan and separate speaker, no more complaints.
Yeah I totally came clean, partially because I couldn’t really believe it - the bathroom I use is in the basement - but the vent goes out the same spot as the laundry exhaust and damn… I went and turned it on and it was clear over the block party :| everyone laughed :).
Also live in a place where most sleep with the windows open - I don’t think it was ever in much doubt heh. I’ve got pretty cool neighbors.
I know great (not excellent) sound quality and Bluetooth devices can be very good! I have a JBL Flip, and I have bone conduction headphones, and I have some Bluetooth earbuds. All are pretty good, but the bone conductions are my favorite.
Yea I start playing music from my phone as soon as I’m awake enough to figure out what I want to listen to. It helps me fully wake up a bit quicker. After shower, etc I change it to cast to my living room speaker system, or back to my phone (+headphones) if I’m going out.
