Review on 🎢 SKYWING Soundace S8 5W Waterproof IPX7 Bluetooth Shower Speaker with Suction Cup & Hook, 12-Hour Playtime, Premium Portable Wireless Speaker for iPhone, Phone, Tablet, Shower, Beach, and Pool by Sam Carter

Attention buyers, it will last until the end of the return window

I didn't have high expectations when I bought this. For $15, I wasn't expecting the sound quality to be as good as my iPhone's speakers, but I needed something waterproof so I could put it in the shower. The first thing I noticed is that the battery life stinks. When fully charged, this can take a week and a half. And that's about a 20-minute shower a day, so let's just call it 240 minutes to be generous. I put up with it because the speaker was only about $15. However, after about 2 months of ownership, the speaker was unusable. One day the power button stopped working. I can no longer turn it on or off or sync my phone with it. I posted some photos to show where I installed it in the shower. I'm sure it gets splashes and quite a bit of moisture when I'm there from time to time, but it's never had a steady stream of water on it. I'm not sure if the water was the problem, but I guess that's what I get for expecting a $15 Revain speaker to actually be waterproof. Also, it expired about a week and a half ago, so now I'm down on $15 and this one needs to go in the bin. Disappointed is putting it mildly.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Not bad
