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

OP didn’t say listening to music is pointless. Try rereading the post.

Seems pointless

Literal first 2 words of the post. Have you checked your CO detectors recently?

I know grammar is hard, but OP is clearly saying that using a Bluetooth speaker in the bathroom seems pointless, not music listening in general.

Maybe at least be correct if you’re going to be a dick.

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

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.

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.

Pointless? Yeah, it’s a luxury.

Inconvenient? I’m not sure I understand that part. You just queue something up as you’re getting ready to shower.

Showering long enough to benefit from it? I mean, yeah? For the 10 or so minutes I’m in the shower, I hear some music and that’s nice.

I think you might be getting some really bad bluetooth speakers if they sound so bad and are so hard to operate that you find the process frustrating.

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.
