Seems pointless and inconvenient for me as they usually seem to be poor quality, and can you really listen to music in the shower, and are you showering long enough to benefit from it?
Or do you own one and use for a different purpose, like swimming or Kayaking?
How is enjoying music “pointless”? I don’t understand your train of thought at all. Benefit from it? I just like music
lol this is the only response necessary
OP didn’t say listening to music is pointless. Try rereading the post.
My wife and daughter do yeah. Blaring kpop at 7 in the morning. FML
Right there with ya, brother. 😂
I really like STAYC.
You’re a better person than me. I would have smashed that Bluetooth speaker the very first morning…. I am, not a morning person…
This is not the way. Embrace the K-pop, get really comically freakishly deep into the K-pop. Start dressing up appropriately, for a K-pop dancer, get your other dad buds to come over to practice the moves. Make it part of your core identity until they want nothing to do with it. And then you can relax
I was just going to say start blasting Baby Metal, but your plan will 100% work better
Yup, I stand corrected. This is the way.
Haha I used to. True story, my wife got me one in 2015 for my bathroom - built into the exhaust fan - I listen to the news while I shower in the morning.
Six months later, over at the neighbor’s house across the street for a block party, and someone asks “Hey, anyone know who’s blasting NPR at 4am every day?”
Turns out the exhaust fan taking the shower moisture out basically turned into a speaker cone and for months everyone on the street was waking up pissed off lol. Replaced with a regular fan and separate speaker, no more complaints.
Did they ever find out it was you?
Yeah I totally came clean, partially because I couldn’t really believe it - the bathroom I use is in the basement - but the vent goes out the same spot as the laundry exhaust and damn… I went and turned it on and it was clear over the block party :| everyone laughed :).
Also live in a place where most sleep with the windows open - I don’t think it was ever in much doubt heh. I’ve got pretty cool neighbors.
That’s kind of amazing, actually, haha.
I have several JBL speakers that are awesome. I listen to music and podcasts in the morning while I get ready. Bring it into the shower, carry it around the house, take it hiking. Can’t go wrong with a decent Bluetooth speaker.
Please don’t do that while hiking around others, lots of people go hiking to get away from constant sounds like that.
Or camping, OMG. The people who set up at a national forest and start blaring shitty music.
Unfortunately lots of people lack self awareness. I do honestly try my best to not be one of those people.
I keep the volume to a reasonable personal level and pause any time people are within range. Try my best to be considerate.
Just use headphones. Sound caries further than you think.
No one but you wants to hear your music in nature.
Hiking out in the backcountry of the Rocky Mountains having headphones in would be extremely unsafe. A city or busy trail absolutely, headphones all the way. Bear and predator country, 50 miles from any major form of civilization, I still want to be aware of my surroundings. I’m hiking on trails where I see maybe 10 groups of people over 3 days, and half of them are at the alpine lake or water source, not even on the trail.
Sounds like you shouldn’t be listening to music either then.
Then you shouldn’t be listening to music if you can’t play it without others hearing. Full stop.
You’re just trying to justify your selfish behavior.
If you have to listen to music and hear your surroundings, get a pair of open ear headphones.
Not completely safe being out hiking and blocking off your ability to hear your surroundings. I think it’s completely acceptable to be considerate while out with a Bluetooth speaker.
You’re wrong. Get some open ear headphones if you’re concerned with hearing what’s going on around you.
Playing music through speakers on the trail is never considerate.
Body wash and long hair shampoo plus conditioner takes me 10 minutes, full shaving routine takes me another 10. Yes, I listen to music through a bluetooth speaker. Yes, the quality is what one would expect from an inexpensive speaker the size of a soda can.
No, I don’t blare music when people are sleeping.
I benefit from it as much as I do from listening to music at any other time? It’s entertainment.
They’re great for blasting rock while getting drunk in the sauna.
RIP while listening to ROCK in the USA
Teach us your ways
I actually use my phone. The speakers on this bad boy are loud enough to hear it while taking a shower.
I like to dance a little, singing into my shampoo bottle as if I am performing a concert.
That’s just my way of pumping myself up… to go through the shitty day at the office.
Happy Monday everyone!
Yeah! Check out UE megaboom products…waterproof, sound amazing, and batteries last foe hours. 2 thumbs up!
I’ve used one for podcasts, definitely. But even for music, they may be poor quality generally but they’re significantly better than a phone speaker, and much better than a phone speaker ten feet away through glass or plastic.
I actually use waterproof earbuds because I don’t want to blare my podcast or whatever to everyone in the house.
If you like long showers, and you listen to a news program, or an audiobook. It makes a lot of sense.
Ironically my girlfriend used to use one and now doesn’t, but I’ve started to use one.
I found a cheap no name Amazon speaker on the ground in the snow and it still worked. Stuck it in the bathroom since it was obviously waterproof. Now that I’ve grown my hair longer and have to commute again, I’m in the bathroom longer and use the time to finish up the bits of podcast I don’t get to finish on my commute.
Like others have said, sound quality isn’t the best, but gets the job done. With all the other noises in the bathroom, pristine sound isn’t gonna happen from any source, let alone cranked built in phone speakers.
A lot of people don’t understand how much time long hair actually adds. When mine was reaching my hips it would add 10 minutes to my shower. I wasn’t even doing conditioner or anything; it just takes forever to get all of your hair lathered up and then rinsed out. Now that my hair is short again I’m in and out in less than five minutes, but I wouldn’t have minded music back then.
Yeah, I bought a JBL Clip after having borrowed one from my at the time gf’s dad. The sound quality was a lot better than what I was expecting especially for such a small speaker; along with the added benefit of being waterproof it was worth the investment to me personally.
Yes my bathroom shower routine is long enough I will justify putting on music. Even if it’s a 5 minute drive to the store I’m going to want music. If I can have music playing I’m usually going to be listening. I don’t understand those people who have broken radios in their car and just drive in silence, or the people who have blown out speakers but don’t care about the quality. I can’t do it lol
Every single shower. I fire up whatever podcast I’m in the middle of and between the shower, towelling off, moisturizing, and whatever else, it’s long enough to be worthwhile.
Only so they can’t hear me cry
