How to Choose a Shower Radio?


Showering is more fun when you’re listening to music, and luckily you can do that with splash-resistant radios. However, shower radios vary wildly in quality and style, so it’s important to do your homework before you buy one.

Most shower radios just play the radio: AM, FM, and maybe Weather Band. However, they often have a clock display and handy features such as preset buttons. More versatile radios let you hook up your iPod or MP3 player, and a few are even CD players.

Regardless of the type of radio you need, go for quality. Price is often a hint of what you can expect: People who buy $10 shower radios usually complain about bad reception, terrible sound quality, and flimsy design. Although it might seem a little extreme to spend $50 or more on a shower radio, you’re more likely to get a product that works beautifully and lasts for years.

The reception, sound, and volume quality should be excellent, with no static or distortion. Large, simple, intuitive controls that are easy to use with wet fingers are always a plus. Preset buttons will save your favorite radio stations, a must if you share the radio with family members. A clock display is handy, and so are timers for automatic shut off.

You should look for a solid shower radio that can take abuse, because you may drop it at some point. Try to find one with multiple hanging or mounting options, such as a hook and self-adhesive brackets. And remember, “water-resistant” isn’t the same as “waterproof.” Unless it’s clearly marked as waterproof, don’t assume you can get away with submerging it in bath water.

It’s worth your time to read reviews and decide which features are important to you before buying a shower radio. This way, you’ll get the perfect radio that will give you years of entertainment.
