Best Bluetooth Shower Speaker 2018

While you wish to listen your favorite songs during shower, you must get a waterproof Bluetooth wireless speaker and for this many budget options are available in the market.

Here I will be talking about budget waterproof Bluetooth speakers which you will get by spending around $20.

Shortlisting $20 BT waterproof speaker

Yes, so my research went to get the best selling waterproof speakers on Amazon and here are top three in budget of $20

1. VicTsing Shower Speaker
2. SoundBot SB517 Extreme Bluetooth Wireless Speaker
3. iFox iF012 Bluetooth Shower Speaker

How about price?

as on Jan 2018 SoundBot SB517 Extreme Bluetooth Wireless Speaker costs lowest among all three, but I suggest you to check online prices before you buy any one of them. Since prices keeps on fluctuating I shall focus on technical strengths and weakness of the speakers.

Okay then how about technical specs ?

Lets compare the technical specifications where I will focus on main purpose that is use during showers and hence the waterproof rating of speaker as well as functions like built-in mic to take phone calls during shower or speaker phone or music time etc.

Below table shows comparison with Green highlight where I feel the speaker scores more over other.

VicTsing vs SoundBot SB517 vs iFox iF012 Bluetooth Shower Speaker Specs comparison

Best Bluetooth Shower Speaker 2018

Main purpose Use during Shower : Waterproof ratings

• VicTsing Shower Speaker : IPX4

  The weakest water resistance with only IPX4 rating, which means it can only sustain splashes and surely if you take a shower with it, then just forget about it 😛 .. So surely this is pure NO in showers. Yes certainly you can keep it away from water and take a bath .. but I think its not worth !

• SoundBot SB517 Extreme Bluetooth Wireless Speaker : IPX7

  This speaker has IPX7 rating which is surely very high rating and indicates that the BT speaker is tested for Immersion at depth of 1 m for 30 minutes.
  So this will be perfect speaker for showers, outdoor use during camping or keep near the pool. No worries plz.

• iFox iF012 Bluetooth Shower Speaker : IP67

  Now this speaker comes with highest waterproof as well as dust proof rating among all three, this is certified to be IP67 which indicates Fully protected from dust (6) and can also withstand being submerged in 1m (about 3.3 feet) of static water for up to 30 mins (7) ..
  Just for information iPhone 7 is being certified as IP67 rating.
  So surely this speaker is also be used in showers, outdoor use (better than soundbot since this also has dust ingress protection) .. keep besides the pool .. use during camping … get on easily with dust and water showers ..

So winner in this best Water & Dust resistance category is iFox iF012 Bluetooth Shower Speaker : IP67

Battery Backup : All of them claimed 6 hours playing time

• VicTsing Shower Speaker : 500 mAh (charging time 3 hours)
• SoundBot SB517 Extreme Bluetooth Wireless Speaker : 600 mAh (charging time 4-5 hours)
• iFox iF012 Bluetooth Shower Speaker : 650 mAh (charging time 3 hours)Although all of them claims 6 hours playtime, iFox iF012 Bluetooth Shower Speaker :  has got the most powerful battery.

Common features among all three:

• Bluetooth support:
  All of them suppoer BT v3.0
• BT range:
  All of them have 33 feet standard range (remember this will get impacted due to hurdles like furniture in home)
• Drivers
  VicTsing claims to have 5 W driver which is more than 3 W drivers of SoundBot SB517 & iFox iF012
  Again here Soundbot claims Crispy High Note, Crystal Clear Mid-range and Balanced Bass (built in passive subwoofer for Bass)
• Built-in mic: use as speakerphone:
  All features built-in-mic, so you will be able to receive calls from your smartphone and speak over speakerphone

Best Bluetooth Shower Speaker 2018 recommendation:

So coming back to the main subject of this post, I have looked at the waterproof rating, music playtime, speaker phone capability. and SoundBot SB517 scores the best in terms or price balance & IPX7 rating.

However at the day you are thinking of buying the speakers if the price of iFox iF012 is lowest then simply go for it
