It also features a built-in rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery and can support up to 12 hours of continuous playtime. You can hear, feel, and physically see the bass in action thanks to dual external passive radiators. Compact and portable it may well be, but it’s also powerful and durable too.

If you love to turn up the bass, then you will appreciate what this powerful and impressive Anker Soundcore 2 portable Bluetooth speaker has to offer. It’s small and compact so perfect for travel and waterproof too so it can withstand the elements or any adventure you throw its way. It’s been sturdily constructed to be entirely outdoors proof. Delivering 24 hours of continuous playtime this speaker provides 12 watts of pure audio with enhanced bass Thunders.

This water-resistant Bluetooth speaker from Aomais has plenty of features and benefits that you will appreciate. With a super sturdy and durable design, it’s even resilient enough to withstand being run over by a car. It’s IPX7 waterproof rated so will continue to work even when submerged in water up to one meter deep.

The Photive Hydra waterproof shower speaker is a revelation at its price point. Like the SoundBot it delivers style you’d only expect at several times the price and unlike the SoundBot it’s fully submersible to boot. Audio quality is much better than you’d expect in such an affordable unit, and while it won’t satisfy the most finicky audiophile, it’s more than good enough for the masses.

The Photive Hydra shower speaker is small enough to slip into your or hang around your neck if you’re out for bike ride. Hang it from your harness while rock climbing and bring your favorite tunes to the wall with you. It provides generally excellent audio for such an affordable unit.

The Trakk Harmony is the best bluetooth shower speaker we tested and features generous silicone buttons so you don’t spend time fumbling around in the shower trying to activate functions. It’s completely waterproof and shockproof as well, so if you drop it in the shower there’s nothing to worry about. The sleek sophisticated design belies the unit’s toughness and is so beautiful you’re going to want to take the Harmony with you wherever you go.

The audio from this unit is fantastic, there’s no doubt about it. We found the sound quality to be fairly astonishing considering the size of the unit and its intended use. There’s no doubt that if you go into the shower toting the Trakk Harmony with you you’re probably going to be in there for a while; it’s that much fun.

The UE Boom 2 is a relatively expensive shower speaker but you’ll no doubt agree that it’s worth every penny. It’s not the least bit intimidated by water, mud or being dropped and it’s as at home bringing Mozart to the campsite as it is bringing Red One to the shower. The PartyUp feature truly allows you to party up by wirelessly connecting to more than 4 dozen UE speaker types.

Boldly go where no shower speaker has gone before with the UE Boom 2. Stream music while trout fishing, rock climbing, working construction, driving cross country and of course showering. Materials, design and electronics are all state of the art and it will stand up to (almost) any type of abuse the cruel world can dish out.

The AYL SoundFit Bluetooth shower speaker is that and so much more. We were impressed by the durability of its construction, the quality of the audio and the ability to pair it with so many Bluetooth enabled devices. While it won’t survive long if you drop it in the ocean, it will handle anything the shower can dole out and won’t flinch when heavy rain starts falling on the campsite.

The lightweight nature of the SoundFit was also a pleasant surprise because upon first glance we expected something heavier (never judge a book by its cover). The AYL SoundFit is a welcome companion in the shower and not just for mom and dad. Its supremely sturdy nature makes it maybe the best shower speaker for families with kids.

Trakk has several entries on our top 10 list and that’s because they make such incredible all-purpose audio equipment. The Trakk Wave is one of the coolest designs from any manufacturer but it’s more than just a pretty face. It’s tough as nails and built to withstand both the rigors of a steamy, sopping wet shower environment and the crashing of waves over the bow of the speedboat.

The Trakk Wave provides you with 20 watt audio drivers that kick out the bass while not allowing the finer sounds to get lost in the audio sauce. What you’ll hear is as close to studio perfection as you’re liable to ever hear from any brand of shower speaker.

Lithium ion battery included. From its high tech styling to its everyday toughness the Fugoo Sport Bluetooth wireless shower speaker is one that’s after our hearts. Throw in the fact that it costs less than dinner for 2 at a nice restaurant and you have even more reason to give it serious consideration when shopping for a new shower speaker.

Indoors or outdoors, the Fugoo Sport will provide you peerless audio. Whether you like to take steamy hour long showers or you find yourself caught in a dust storm in Death Valley, the Fugoo won’t flinch from its duty to bring the music. And of course there’s the astounding 40 hours of continuous play you can enjoy at 50% loudness, which we all agree is just insane. Be sure to also check out our list of the best portable Bluetooth speakers for more great items like this.

The Boom Swimmer waterproof shower speaker is another sub $100 delight that won’t match the absolute top of the line shower speakers but will come so close most won’t notice the difference. The big sale point of the Swimmer of course is the flexible, detachable tail that allows you to mount this shower speaker anywhere you can find something to coil around.

The quality of the audio produced by the Boom Swimmer is generally excellent, although the bass in particular will tend to break up just a tad at full volume. All in all though for the price we’re not going to quibble. The Swimmer is a fully waterproof speaker meaning you can attach it to a post on your sailboat and it will take the crashing of the waves without flinching.

Trakk is back with the Bang TR-055D wireless shower speaker. Another in their line of quality portable audio products you can enjoy just about anywhere. The Trakk Bang features advanced Bluetooth 4.0 technology that allows for fairly seamless partnering with an array of other Bluetooth enabled devices including PCs, Macs and most smartphones. The Bang features 2 compact but powerful speakers that produce clear, full bodied music.

It boasts an IPX6 waterproof rating which should be more than enough unless you’re planning to hold it under water for long periods of time on a regular basis. While the overall look of this shower speaker won’t win any awards it’s a shower speaker not a Ferrari so we’ll give it a pass.

The UE Roll 2 Volcano may be the most beautifully designed shower speaker we’ve seen to date. It’s clean circular shape, muted grey palette and enigmatic markings make it as much a work of art as a piece of audio equipment. But audio equipment it is and in the best UE tradition it’s an excellent piece of all-purpose audio equipment.

It would be a shame to squirrel the Volcano shower speaker away in the shower permanently. It’s such an attractive piece of 21st century tech that most people will want to show it off, like they do their new smartphone. But it’s more than just good looks. It’s a truly waterproof speaker and contains a mini bungee cord that allows you to take it just about anywhere.

For the price of a large pizza with everything you get dependable SoundBot quality in a portable shower speaker you can take with you wherever you go. It’s not waterproof but it is fully water resistant meaning you’ll have no problem with it in the shower or if you get caught outside with it on a rainy day. Everyone on our panel agreed this may be the best looking shower speaker on the market.

You get many of the features of high end shower speakers at a fraction of the price including 10 meter (33 foot) wireless connectivity to other devices, a built in microphone, hands free operation, full Bluetooth compatibility and more. And all in a unit that’s a mere 2 1/4 inches in diameter and weighs a scant 45 grams.
