A Pleasantly Perfect Shower Speaker
598075
I bought this little dandy after hearing about it on MacBreak Weekly. I'd been looking for a decent shower speaker for a long time, and for the price, I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try.

I've been using the Shower-Mate for a couple of weeks now, and am quite pleased with it's performance. The battery life seems to be more than sufficient. I power it off after each shower, and back on as I'm turning the water on. It's plenty loud enough that I can hear podcasts clearly over the sound of the shower, and while it won't win any awards for sound quality, music actually sounds decent.

If you're using it with an iPhone, the speaker does report it's battery life to the "batteries" section of notification center, which is a nice way to know if you'll need to charge it sometime soon.

The provided suction mount is made of good, thick rubber, and seems like it will easily survive un-mounting and remounting should you decide to take it with you on vacation.

This is a great little speaker. Does the job exactly as I expected perfect for in the shower to wake up in the morning. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars because it lacked a little of the deep bass sound but that's to be expected with this unit. I got exactly what I was looking for, good job.

I had a similar speaker before from a different manufacturer, which I gave away to a friend. I needed a replacement and bought this. It looks just as in the picture. I stuck it on the bathtub/bathroom wall and it held on tightly. It's loud, connects to my computer/phone via bluetooth and plays music flawlessly. I gave it 4 stars because the music quality especially the bass isn't as good as my previous one. I used to spend a long time in the shower just for the music with my previous speakers, but not this. Who knows, may be you will like it.

I did some research before adding these speakers to my wish list. I was delighted when someone bought it for me off my wish list. I was surprised when I opened the package beacuse the speakers were the perfect size, durably built, and have terrific sterio sound! I have them on my computer and can turn them up enough to hear the music while I'm in the shower a couple rooms away! I couldn't be happier with them. I will admit the sound on my usb pc headset is better quality... But you can't bring those into the shower. lol. I would reccomend these to everyone!

Awesome unit! It's very waterproof, charges quickly, suctions to the shower wall securely, and is just all around a great little audio speaker in a wet and humid environment. Since it's tiny and cheap, the sound quality isn't terrific, but honestly it does exactly what I want so I'm happy.

i've purchased many small bluetooth speakers & i think this one is the best. i use it in the shower almost everyday. i tied a small bit of string around one end and hang it from a plastic hook a couple of feet above my head in the shower. i've never put it under water, but it's gotten plenty of splash action. i love this speaker! sound quality is excellent - even in a shower. other speakers i've tried didn't sound very good because of echoing in the shower. i found this to be especially important when i'm listening to the news/talk radio. other speakers' sound wasn't as crisp as the philips shoqbox, which made it hard to understand what people were saying. the battery remains charged for long time AND the battery power indicator shows up on my iphone, so i always know when i need to charge. t o t a l  b o n u s ! connection on iphone is simple. no problems reconnecting after updating my phone. i've dropped it a few times & had no problems - no chips, no scratches, no broken pieces, so from my experience it's pretty rugged. my only regret is buying it at walmart. i didn't know they had red and silver! UGH!! now i want a red one!! regardless of color, give it a try. you will not be sorry.

I've been looking for a Bluetooth shower speaker for a while. There are many out there and I'm happy I got the Soundsoul. First, it has great sound for the size of the device - even better than I expected given the cost. Second, the Skip Next and Previous buttons are a key and that's what refined my search for a device. I already had a speaker, but it could not skip forward/backwards. This product just works and has great sound.

I REALLY like this speaker!

I needed a Bluetooth speaker for my old car, so that I could use my mobile phone hands free. This is perfect for that, and I couldn't be more pleased with it.

In my road tests, I could hear the person I was speaking to perfectly, and s/he could hear me as well. (They each reported hearing road noise, but that's to be expected, and it wasn't a problem.) Simple, easy to use controls. Decent sound quality for music. This speaker will not replace my high-end stereo setup for serious audio enjoyment, and that's not what I wanted it for. I need to be able to have a conversation on my phone while I'm driving, and to be able to hear my phone's nav instructions clearly. This speaker knocks it out of the park for those tasks. And I wouldn't hesitate to use it for music at the beach, or a picnic, or something like that. Especially since it's WATER RESISTANT! I have to say I LOVE that feature, even though I likely will not need it much. It's great to know if I spill a coke in the car, or some such, I don't have to freak out about the speaker staying dry.

Taken as a whole, this is a great little on-the-go speaker, and I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Once I found out there was a way to play music in the shower I knew I had to get a speaker to do it. I did a lot of researching and comparing because I didn't want to pay a huge amount, but I also did not want something really cheap that would brake easily or be bad quality. So this all led me to this this speaker, it seems to have a huge amount of positive reviews, and now I know why.

The speaker is a lot louder than I expected and is pretty good quality, my only complaint is that it doesn't have that much bass. Overall I feel like you can't ask for any more from the speaker, as far as the pricing is concerned. I haven't calculated the exact time I get out of it but I've only had to charge it 3 times in the past year, that being said, I don't take super long showers.

My sister bought the Aduro Aquasound also from Amazon and it was no where near as loud as this one. Overall if you are looking for a shower speaker, you definitely can not go wrong with this one!

Update: The only design flaw I've found is that the rubber piece that covers the usb charging port fell off and fell into a drain. The speakers still works in the shower even if it gets wet so I guess it wasn't too bad.

This. Is. A. Great. Speaker.

It has almost everything you want from a speaker, and more.

Lets start with sound quality.
The sound quality is great. Actually, a lot better than I expected. For a speaker of this size, it has a decent amount of bass, and yet does not have any bass-distortion. It seems like it has a passive subwoofer (Passive meaning that the subwoofer does not have its own power supply and amplifier). The separate subwoofer is probably at least partially responsible for the nice bass and lack of distortion.
It can fill a large room (think dining room or living room) with enough music at a comfortable listening volume. It's not a stadium speaker. But it's loud. Bring it to a party, and it will put any other puny bluetooth speaker to shame. Whoever's playing music will stop, and bow down to yours.

It has enough bass response that you can just feel it from a few feet away. Highs are a little toned down, just enough so that it's more pleasant to listen to at high volumes. Some other speakers will give piercing highs at louder volumes, which is not what you want. It's overall a very pleasant speaker to listen to.

Now, lets move on to design. It's VERY solidly built. When you pick it up, it feels like a high-quality product. It has a nice weight to it, and a nice metallic grille around the speakers to protect them without blocking the sound. The top of the device is a plastic with a very light wood-texture to it. It's very pleasing to the eye and feels nice. The buttons are a soft sillicone. Think silicone bakeware. It's a very nice material for buttons. The base is made of the same rubber, which gives it a good non-slip grip on whatever surface you put it on. Also, the rubber helps the bass resonate through the surface it sits on. Very good.

If you shine a flashlight into the front, you can just barely make out the rather large speakers in this device. On the top, are the buttons. They work well, easy to press, and they light up when your hand is near, via a thermal sensor. Wow. To the right of the buttons is a NFC sensor. It took about 5 seconds for me to pair my phone with the speaker using NFC. No more need to struggle with the bluetooth menu in your phone.
The back of the speaker is where all of the connections are. If you choose not to connect with bluetooth, you can use the AUX In on the back. Or, you can even use this speaker as a bluetooth receiver, and use the Line Out to output to a speaker system. Note that the Sharkk speaker will not play while using the Line Out function. Next, it has an AC jack, which is exclusively used to charge the device. AC charging is nice and fast compared to USB charging, and well worth the little inconvenience of a separate charger.
They advertise a separate charging pad, which is a great idea, but I did not buy it myself.
It also serves as a 6600mAh USB power bank, for if your phone runs out of battery. You didn't even know you wanted this functionality, but there it is. Nice backup battery bank.

If you're looking for a speaker, this is a no-brainer. It's a great portable speaker. Personally, I'm somewhat of an audiophile. I write music, I listen to music with nice headphones. This speaker passes the test. If it's this or a $40-50 speaker, definitely get this one. It is more than worth the extra price.

I received this speaker at a discounted price in exchange for leaving an honest and unbiased review.
I look to review honestly, because I wouldn't want to see a biased review myself. I hope these reviews help inform your purchase, and if so, please click the Helpful button under my review!
I hope you enjoy this speaker as much as I do.

I have had multiple shower speakers and this is one of the best. I received this in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

It is easy to pair with my phone (iphone) and it gets super loud, perfect for in the shower.

This does exactly what I had hope it would - let me listen to music and audiobooks in the bathroom and shower.  Setup was easy, took about 10 seconds to pair and start listening.  Sound quality is fine - not great, but totally acceptable for shower listening.  The unit has stayed waterproof, and the controls are more than I expected - not just power and volume, but the ability to both skip and scan tracks.

This thing is great. I wanted to listen to some podcasts in the shower, and this does the job brilliantly. It is LOUD, it has a long battery life, and it's A/C rechargeable with the included plug. For the use I've put it to (spoken voice) the sound quality is as good as any other bluetooth speaker I've seen. I guess I haven't put it to the test with the subtleties of musical reproduction, but the intro/outro music on my podcasts sounds pretty good. Get it. Small and goes anywhere--car, around the house, shower.

UPDATE: A month and a half later, I've used this a lot. I have played music through it and continue to use it in the shower and around the house, most often for podcasts. It's great! I like it better than other speakers. It's so much better (esp., louder) than my&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Altec-Lansing-iM-237-Orbit-Ultraportable-Speaker-for-MP3-Players-Silver/dp/B001ELK2NY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Altec Lansing iM-237 Orbit Ultraportable Speaker for MP3 Players (Silver)</a>&nbsp;(plugs into the audio jack) that I'm tempted to get a bluetooth fob for my laptop rather than look for a plug-in speaker better for this one.

The below review was for a different item than the one currently sold under this listing.

I was recently given a TaoTronics Water Resistant Portable Wireless Shower Speaker for review purposes and after a few days with the product came away quite impressed.  For such a small speaker the sound it produced was quite crisp and clear.  I had absolutely no issues with the connection to my iphone, once it connected it stayed connected with no dropouts or any other sound issues.  The form factor itself is quite pleasing. It's small enough to tuck away in some corner of your bathroom, and the suction cup attached at the bottom provides a nice secure grip on a smooth surface.  Overall I'm quite happy with this product! Would definitely recommend to friends.

It's perfect for my needs. My only complaint is that the sound is a little staticy at certain frequencies but should be fine in the shower.

This speaker is exactly what I was looking for. It's small and fits in my purse well. I wanted a speaker that I could use to play music while showering, and this one does a great job playing over the water.

The sound quality is really great for the size, and the price is amazing. I'm really happy with this speaker, and I will be buying more to connect them for more sound.
