Best Overall: Jam Hang Up Shower Bluetooth Speaker
This cute little speaker's clever USP is its stick pad that will allow you to stick your mini speaker to your tiled shower wall, glass shower door or bathroom mirror. Its IP67 rating means you can submerge this little guy in water for up to 30 minutes, so it's not going to struggle under the water from your showerhead.
The Jam Hang Up will give you up to eight hours of music playback, although this will be affected if you use the speaker for its other use as a speakerphone. When your phone is paired with the speaker even if you're playing music, the speaker will pause to give you the option to answer the call and continue playing when you hang up.
Other features of note are the integrated USB cable so you'll always be ready to juice it back up and the aux-in port that lets you hook up a non-Bluetooth device via the 3.5mm jack.

- IP67 rated
- Stick pad
- Aux-in port
- Speakerphone
- Built-in charging cable
