TaoTronics Water Resistant Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Shower Speaker (Model TT-SK03)

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this product for free so that I could provide product feedback to the company and post a product review. I was not required to write a positive review and I do not rate products higher than they should have been. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's requirements.

I recently received a TaoTronics Water Resistant Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Shower Speaker (Model TT-SK03) for a product review.  Only a speaker and power cable were included, but really I wouldn't expect anything else.  I have tested various Bluetooth speakers, but this was the first water resistant speaker.  I didn't really like the fact that the power cable was not a standard microUSB cable, but I have to imagine they made that decision for a reason.

Speaker and power cord ( USB on one side and a non-standard plug on the other )
I definitely wanted to test the speaker out as it was intended, so I tried it out in the shower.  The audio quality was pretty good, and it was loud enough to be enjoyable even with the shower running.  The controls were easy to use.

Large suction cup
The suction cup seemed to hold pretty well, I left it mounted during the day to see if it would fall and luckily it didn't.  I didn't test the speakerphone ability frankly because I don't plan to make or receive calls while in the shower but if I do test it, I will update this review.

Here are the main points I noticed about this product:

Water Resistant: Of course this is the main selling point of the product, it is water resistant.  Normal shower use should be fine, but be smart - I wouldn't put it under direct water all the time or put it under water.

Easy to Use: It was very easy to use this speaker, just like any other product take a moment to review the instructions before using it.

Sound Quality: I didn't do a side by side test with other Bluetooth speakers because frankly this is being used differently than other speakers.  However, during my real world tests the speaker volume and quality was good enough to use while still being heard over a running shower.

Bottom line: If you are looking for a water resistant speaker, this is a great option to consider.
