This shower speaker's sound quality is a total wash
Confession: I really like to listen to music in the shower. It helps me get energized for the day when I shower in the morning and is just a nice mood booster any time. A little dance party while I wash my hair is just plain good vibes. But buying a dedicated speaker for the shower has always felt a bit silly, since it's not a place I spend a ton of time.
