Shower Power is a water-powered shower head speaker for bathroom audio

Confidential lavish singers rejoice: a new water-powered Bluetooth speaker from International ampere could streamline your forenoon routine.

Exhibitioner Power attaches to your shower head, intercepting your water catamenia to power a hydroelectric generator that charges the battery of its Bluetooth speaker. The twist is similar to earlier water supply-hopped-up speaker Hyquadio, but Ampere offers Thomas More options for controlling its speaker, with physical playback controls connected the device and a battery-powered unaccessible if the utterer is out of attain.

When the speaker is attached and piss is flowing, its 2500mAh battery should provide over 80 hours of playback at max volume. With water off, that number shrinks to around 17 hours at max volume.

You might bear the loudspeaker system to be hopped-up indefinitely with water, but Amp explains that due to the size of Shower Power's impeller (the portion turned by water) it's only capable to meet the demands of the speaker system's battery indefinitely at just about 60-70 percentage volume.

Along with battery life, we'll also penury to exam Lavish Power's audio performance. The gimmick is advertised As having immersive sound and deep bass, but I'd ask it to sound otherwise depending on where you place it. Since shower heads come in as many varieties as showers, that could create a blanket range of mathematical sounds.

Droplet, Ampere's additional speaker accessory, could help in that department. It's the same speaker arsenic Shower Big businessman, just not water supply-powered. The device rump be connected to Shower down Power and critically, it can be placed anyplace, weft out the sound in places Shower Power might miss perched on your shower head. If you'atomic number 75 willing to purchase the device separately of course.

Standalone water-imperviable speakers arse also easy play music in your shower, but different Shower Power they'd throw to be removed every time you need to charge them. Shower bath Power never has to impart your shower; its advantage is that it ne'er requires you to remember a cable.
