Really neat, especially the hydropower, but don't you want the music to keep playing when you get out of the shower, and you're drying off and getting ready? Personally, I use a cheap waterproof Bluetooth speaker that has a loop for hanging on a hook or something in the shower. This is the one I use and it works great.

Battery lasts for months on a single charge, depending on how long your morning routine is, plus you get the benefit of it being hyper portable so you can bring it with you on trips and set it up in the hotel room / camp site / etc. And it doesn't affect your water pressure at all.

@joshuapinter Hey Josh, we absolutely want to be able to listen to music before and after the shower. That's why Shower Power has a 2500 mAh battery built in. That's enough battery power to run Shower Power at max volume for 22 hours. We don't recommend listening for hours on end without the shower running but you can definitely do 10 minutes before and after your shower. My favorite aspect of Shower Power is that fact that it is always there and always charged. UE Wonderbooms are a great little speakers but I often forgot to bring it into the shower or charge it... and that's a bummer.

@joshuapinter @chaselarson Oh, awesome. Didn't realize it had a decent sized battery. That solves a big piece of the pain point. From the animations, I just assumed it only turned on when the water was running. So, overall the process is: 1. Open shower door. 2. Press button to turn on Shower Power. 3. Pair / Connect phone and start playing music. 4. Get sexy and have shower. 5. Get out of shower. 6. Dry off and finish bathroom routine. 7. Open shower door. 8. Turn off Shower Power. Is that about right? If so, that's a decent flow. And I like the permanence of it, in that it is always there and has that one purpose, like you said. I guess it will mostly come down to price point, water pressure delta and general cool factor of having your shower tunes powered by water, which is cool as heck. Nice job!

@joshuapinter nailed it! Shower Power will automatically turn on when the water starts to flow but you can press the button to turn it on at any time. It will also automatically turn off after 3 minutes without use. The idea is to make listening to music in the shower as easy as possible.

Thanks for hunting @chrismessina and what’s up Product Hunt! Reid, here, co-founder of Ampere. We make fun, functional tech. 🚧 We’ve been developing Shower Power for more than two years now and we launched it on Kickstarter a few weeks ago because we need this product now. We're listening to more content at home than ever before. If you're like us, you've got music and podcasts streaming at all hours. But there's one place in the house that's tough to get good sound — the shower. Existing waterproof speakers just don't cut it. So, we made a speaker that you'll love using in the shower, everyday. 🎵 Shower Power is a hydropower shower speaker. It’s completely waterproof with an IPX7 rating, is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 and houses a 5W speaker — providing literally endless hours of listening in the shower. 💧 Leveraging a proprietary hydroelectric generator, Shower Power generates 100% of its power from shower water. An internal battery of 2,500 mAh stores more than 20 hours of power so you can continue to listen to music even when the shower stops. 🚿 Shower Power installs onto almost any showerhead and, once installed, it never needs to be removed. In addition to running 100% off hydropower, it’s also made from 100% recycled ocean plastic. 41% Product Hunt Discount for the next 24 Hours 🙀 We just brought back Super Early Bird pricing for Shower Power for all Product Hunt users for today only. Get $41 OFF Shower Power for the next 24 hours! 👀 Check it out on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/proj...

@reidccovington Kickstarter is a fairly reliable source, which I use for more than a year and already see positive results.

@mr_harun I am sure that such a product will be a success in the future because it gives a lot of opportunities for the modern man. I'm talking about the opportunities that may meet us all in a couple of years. I mean that soon there will be new devices that will surprise us every day. Maybe it will be Stainless steel trash can for home or wireless microwave ovens from Tesla. No one knows what progress will create in the future. That is why we should be more aware of what is happening in our world.

Congrats on the launch. Great holiday gift. Here’s my question @reidccovington, if the water is charging a battery inside how long will it last when the shower is it running? Meaning if I walk into the bathroom will it still work just as a remote speaker without the water running? Thx

@reidccovington @kensavage Great question. Again, this depends on how you are listening to it. If you are listening to an intense song on max volume, you will get about 22 hours of playtime from a full charge. If you are listening to a softer song on lower volume, you can can 60+ hours of play time. We do not recommend doing this very often because it can take a while to charge. However, if you are mostly listening to it while you are in the shower, you won't have any issues.

I love the black colour, any chance you'd consider doing it in gold? My sister is crazy for gold bathroom fittings.

Helps me rock out in the shower, awesome. Helps me drown out my wifes terrible voice when she showers, priceless 🤣. I play my music on my speakers outside the shower and its always dulled and especially for podcasts I can barely hear it unless im really cranking my krks--this looks awesome, can't wait to get my hands on one!
