4. highest Waterproof Rating – UE Roll 2
Ultimate Ears is one of the top speaker brands specializing in portable Bluetooth audio on the market.
UE’s occurrence of coming up with stands out designs is slowly becoming their signature and UE Roll 2 is no different.
The speaker features a bungee cord at the back allowing you additional fitment options and an inflatable base that can be used in a pool.
The body is robust and is made of waterproof and shockproof grey color military-grade mesh and if you like unique designs – Ultimate Ears has prepared a whole array of color options for you.
UE Roll 2 is ahead of most speakers is the mobile app department, which lets you control the sound equalizer levels, pair up to 50 other speakers, and set the alarm.
The speaker manages to maintain clear mids, highs, and distortion-free bass throughout the volume range. The lows, however, seem to fade as you are maxing out the speaker to avoid distortion as it does not have built-in passive bass radiators.
| Bottom Line |
|---|
| Ultimate Ears Roll 2 is surprisingly loud for its size and delivers a clear sound with a deep bass. The waterproof compact construction, bungee cord make it perfect for outdoor or bathroom use.

5. Best Cheap Shower Speaker – SoundBot SB510 HD
SoundBot SB510 HD is purposely built for bathroom use in mind.
It comes with a strong suction cup that firmly sucks up on the wall keeping the speaker in place.
The speaker is water-resistant and splash-proof, yet it does not come with an official IP certification.
The battery provides six hours of non-stop listening and takes around three hours to charge. Not spectacular, but quite expected given its price point.
We did find the playback buttons at the front of the speaker to be handy and easy to use.
It allows you to pause and skip songs without having to leave your shower. Conversely, to the initial impression, there is a volume control which is hidden behind the long-press of the ‘next’ and ‘previous’ buttons.
Additionally, SoundBot SB510 HD has an integrated speakerphone, yet we are not sure how practical it could be to answer calls in the shower.
| Bottom Line |
|---|
| SoundBot SB510 HD has been specifically designed for showers and given its price point – it is the best cheap shower speaker we could find.

It also gives the speaker an IP67 rating for water resistance making it your floatable pool pal or a reliable shower buddy.
The top and bottom end feature a durable plastic that is designed to absorb the impact in case of a drop.
The feature array is pretty dull as there is no mobile app support, 3.5mm jack or a speakerphone.
At the same time, it comes with an improved 14-hour battery life and 30-meter Bluetooth range.
Wonderboom 3’s sound quality is incredible for its price range. You can listen to the powerful bass and crisp vocals in any direction thanks to the 360° sound projection. It also has an Outdoor Boost function that delivers louder, more powerful audio that’s tuned for listening outside. Connect two speakers or more for the stereo pair experience.
Despite being compact, the Ultimate Wars Wonderboom 3 is the loudest speaker in our review, hence it takes our best Bluetooth shower speaker crown for sheer volume and surprising amount of bass performance.
| Bottom Line |
|---|
| UE WonderBoom 3 features an ultra-portable, waterproof and durable body that is versatile enough to be used indoors or outdoors making it not only one of the best portable shower speakers around, but it is also one of the top general-purpose speakers in the price range. |

It also comes with two integrated microphones, which manage to capture the voice surprisingly well.
The speaker provides up to 6 hours of playing time when keeping volume levels below 70%. It will take 3 hours to recharge the battery, which is average.
VicTsing’s large driver gives it a relatively punchy sound that can get pretty loud. It comes out relatively balanced across the frequency range.
| Bottom Line |
|---|
| VicTsing is durable, water resistant and ultra-portable which puts it amongst the top budget Bluetooth speakers you can get for your shower. If you are looking for a pick where you could save some money and get a whole lot of value in return, you may have just found it. |

8. Best Value Shower Speaker – OontZ Angle 3
We have previously reviewed the Oonts Angle 3 in our portable Bluetooth speaker review and were surprised with how much value the speaker delivers for such a small asking price.
It won’t win any beauty contests, but the solid, rugged mesh and rubberized sides are sure to protect the speaker from dust, water, and physical damage.
The sound is delivered by two precision acoustic drivers and a passive subwoofer that adds an excellent punchy note to the overall balanced sound.
Angle 3 delivers 10 watts of clear, loud, and side noise-free sound. Highs are clean, and midrange is detailed with decent vocal reproduction.
The passive radiator is positioned at the bottom of the speaker, so placing the speaker bottom down, delivers a more profound and pronounced bass.
The speaker has an integrated microphone allowing you to take phone calls hands-free.
| Bottom Line |
|---|
| If you are looking for an extremely affordable speaker that is simple, durable, waterproof and packs more sound power than the entry-level, smallest size speakers – Oontz Angle 3 delivers best bang for your buck value compared to other portable shower speakers in the price range. |
| POSITIVE | |
|---|---|
| Impressive sound for the size |
| Integrated speakerphone |
| Stunning value |
| Good battery life |
| NEGATIVE | |
|---|---|
| Boring design |
9. Best Premium – Libratone ONE Click
We have previously reviewed one of the larger Libratone Bluetooth speaker, the Zipp and were quite pleased with the aesthetics and the sound quality.
Libratone One Click sticks to the minimalistic yet classy design philosophy of the brand, however technically it is different compared to the Zipp.
The smart speaker comes with a hard rubber built in hook and a soft rubber loop in the box, and you can pick one of five places on the speaker to attach it to.
The body is using a mesh fabric we have seen in other Libratone speakers, which is functional and visually appealing.
The fabric offers a good grip in the hand and prevents the water from getting in as it is IPX4 certified.
At the back of the speaker, you will find a touch-sensitive power button. Unfortunately, with both Zipp and One Click some finger gestures take multiple times to register.
The frequency response is mostly balanced. The lows are present, not too punchy, mids are slightly elevated and highs are not harsh, but lack a bit of clarity.
| Bottom Line |
|---|
| Libratone One Click is the most expensive shower speaker in our review supported by great sound quality and amazing looks. If you are after a lifestyle speaker that can also be a feature in your bathroom or a shower, this is is one of the prettiest waterproof speakers around. |
| POSITIVE | |
|---|---|
| Neat and simple design |
| Customizable and modular design |
| Wide and clear soundstage |
| Smart capacitive volume controls |
| NEGATIVE | |
|---|---|
| Too expensive |
10. Small Size, Big Sound – Anker SoundCore Sport
Anker SoundCore Sport represents Anker’s line of the smallest wireless Bluetooth speakers that are light and compact.
You may know Anker as it is a big name in efficient and affordable power banks, one of which we had the privilege of reviewing before.
Anker is known for striking a close-to-perfect balance between quality and value and this portable Bluetooth speaker is no different.
Only about half a pound in weight and a tiny size, it is ultra-portable and can fit the smallest of handbags.
The speaker is certified with the IPX7 waterproof rating which is the Bluetooth speaker can get, especially in such a small size and at such an affordable price.
Anker SoundCore Sport has been built to float in the water, making it an appealing choice for pool parties.
The sound quality is where this little portable Bluetooth speaker truly shines and punches well above its weight. It is loud, clear and despite being small, delivers a very reasonable amount of bass.
| Bottom Line |
|---|
| Anker SoundCore Sport is a great little performer and one of the best waterproof speakers in its size. It is small, light, has great sound and boasts the highest water protection rating in our review. It manages to find a perfect mix of size, features, good sound quality, with an extremely affordable price tag. |
Buyers Guide – How To Choose The Best Shower Speaker?
How We Tested
Picking the top-rated Bluetooth shower speaker requires you to determine a set of features that are essential and the ones that are secondary or good enough. If you want a shower speaker that works for you – consider the key five factors we have listed below.
This is not to say that other factors such as charging time, long battery life, watts of power, connect features, true stereo sound, cable for USB charging, and other accessories are not important.
To ensure that we remain objective and unbiased, we have gone through 37 most popular shower speakers to come up with 10 of the best shower speakers you can buy today.
Waterproof Rating (IP rating)
Whether for shower or bath, the waterproofing ability is the most important feature in choosing the top speaker to buy. All speakers in our review except SoundBot SB510 carry waterproof certifications that indicate their IP rating.
The IP rating scale starts with IPX0 and goes all the way to IPX9, however, IPX6 or IPX7 ratings more than sufficient for shower speakers allowing up to thirty minutes submersion. If dust proofing is also required, it is recommended to check out shower speakers with an IP67 dust resistance rating.
If waterproof capabilities are not ‘must-haves’ for you – consider our top-rated portable Bluetooth speaker review.
Ease of Setup and Use
A bath or a shower is a place where setting up, tuning, fixing, or controlling your electronic device could be troublesome. In other words, the practicality of using the product in a wet, damp, noisy, and often hot environment is one of the top criteria to consider.
Audio Quality
Despite showers being reasonably noisy environments, we want a great shower speaker to deliver good audio quality nevertheless. To listen to music, radio, or podcasts over the sound of running water, you may need to push the speaker slightly. Hence, it should be capable high volumes without any side noise or distortion.
Battery Capacity
Most of the time, mounting your shower speaker and taking it down takes some time, hence we recommend a long-lasting battery as it saves you time and nuisance.
Speaker Placement
Making the decision of where to place your waterproof or water resistant speakers might be challenging due to the water noise, limited space, and the physical form of the portable speaker. As a result, the best waterproof speakers should have additional mounting options such as suction caps and carabiner.
Shower Speakers – FAQ
What does different waterproof or IP ratings mean?
The IP stands for Ingress Protection marking and classifies the level of protection against intrusions such as water and dust.
What makes the wireless speaker waterproof?
Waterproofing is achieved mainly by using a special outside material that protects the speaker from water damage. The complexity and the reason why only some speakers are waterproof is that the fabric should not let the water through, but should not prevent or block soundwaves and distort the audio quality.
What if my phone does not have Bluetooth?
Your only other option to stay connected is AUX 3.5mm jack, so your compact speaker should have one.
What can I do if the battery runs out of power?
- Recharge the Bluetooth speaker battery using the wall charger
- Use a portable battery pack to recharge your wireless Bluetooth speaker when on the go
What is a suitable wattage for a waterproof speaker?
The unit of sound power is the watt (W). If the intended portable speakers use is predominantly for showering, 10W of power should be more than enough. However, if you are also planning to use the speaker outdoors, 15W or more is recommended.
Waterproof vs. Water Resistant - what is the difference?
Water-resistance describes the fact that the item will not immediately soak up liquids. Some may also refer to it as water repellent or hydrophobic.
Being waterproof carries a stronger ability to withstand water penetration. It also does not mean that the item is entirely impervious to water despite having the word ‘proof’ in the name.
Waterproofing is governed by international standards and ranges from IPX-0 (having no water protection) to IPX-9 (can survive powerful water jets).
Can you put an indoor speaker outside?
Yes, of course. Speakers for showers can be used outside or inside.
Checked out Libratone ONE Click and given the price, not sure if it is worth it? Word of advice?
Well, tough question I must admit. If we are talking price-value balance, then probably not as it really wears a premium. Don’t get me wrong, it is good and super portable, but if I had to make a practical sense and spend that money, I would probably go for Fugoo instead and spent the rest on something else. But again, I do not know your budget.
I’ve heard SoundCore from Anker loses Bluetooth connection, has it happened to you?
Nope, never. In fact, we were so surprised with Anker, that if I had to get one for myself, it would probably be that.
I was trying to get OontZ Angle 3 in blue, like on your picture, but it is not there.?!
I guess there are a lot less of those in stock, gotta check with Cambridge Soundworks 🙂
There’s no doubt that the UE Wonderboom is one of the best Bluetooth speakers in terms of sound quality. I also like the Boom Swimmer Duo very much because we can place it anywhere, thanks to its flexible tail. Overall a great selection!
Hey there,
You should know that your SoundBot review isn’t fully correct. It does in fact have volume control – a long press on the “next” button will raise the volume, while a long press on the “previous” button will lower it. Bought one in July of 2016 and it only just died, after pretty frequent and prolonged use, where it served as a shower speaker in a home of four people. The Amazon page has a diagram of the button use, if my explanation wasn’t clear. ^_^
This is so true! Thanks for picking this up, it almost feels like a surprise/hidden feature on a button with no markings 🙂
