SoundBot SB518FM FM RADIO Water Resistant Bluetooth Wireless Shower Speaker Hands-Free Portable Speakerphone w/ Smart One Touch Auto-Scan, 6Hrs Music Streaming, Built-in Mic, Detachable Suction Cup

It's a good speaker as far as sound quality.. However, it was a challenge to figure out how to use it at first. You have to really push hard on the buttons sometimes. It's a little strange that the buttons to change stations are the same as what's used to change the volume (pressing it will change the station, but holding it down will change the volume) and that can be a little frustrating at first. I also had times that the buttons wouldn't work or the radio would turn on by itself when I wasn't in the shower. It doesn't get a lot of stations (mine can pick up on maybe a handful), but it's good for bluetooth. My husband syncs his phone up to it all the time. Lastly, the battery life of 6 hours means you're charging it pretty often. Since there are two of us, that's at least once per week.

This is a good speaker. It has loud sound which makes it practical when you use it in places where are a little noisy. It's battery lasts for fair amount of time. Therefore, you can enjoy listening to the music with no concern about running out of battery. And, it survived when I used it in the shower. So, It means that it's description as water resistant is totally true. However, this speaker has two negative points which are the reasons I am giving it four stars. First, whenever I start the radio, its volume is at the maximum and I have to decrease it really quick before disturbing the whole family. That's annoying especially when you family is asleep at home. Second, it simply disconnects from a device which has been paired. For example, if you are listening to the music on YOUTUBE continuously with no stop, everything will be fine. But, if you stop YOUTUBE for even one minute and start it again, the speaker has been disconnected and you have to pair it again to hear from the speaker.

The built-in FM radio is all right in some rooms and not in others. In fact, the reception is poor in my shower, but I use my cell phone to get wifi FM stations and then use the Bluetooth to listen in the shower. So, not a great FM radio, but works fine as a Bluetooth shower speaker. The sound quality is adequate. I don’t use the suction cup. I just prop it up on the shower rack or soap tray. So far, no problems with water resistance.

After months of owning this little speaker, It is still hanging in my shower and working better than ever. I have been using it a while now daily and the sound quality is just great. I've owned some of the cheaper shower speakers before and they don't hold a candle to this one. The quality of this speaker is much better. The buttons are easy to press and use and do what you expect them to. The suction cup holds like crazy glue and is not accidentally going to fall in the shower or pool. The overall feel of this speaker is high quality craftsmanship and durability. The speaker is protected by a hard rubber coating and the charging port has a rubber flap that covers it. The speaker gets louder than you would ever want, at least in my opinion, and music is well balanced and enjoyable. Battery life is very good also. I charge mine about once a week for a couple of hours and it's good to go. So far, this speaker has been a good investment and continues to work as it should day after day.

This is a nice speaker, good sound, paired without a problem, and I actually managed to get an FM station or two, but has a fatal flaw: When you turn it on it is at high volume. When you switch it over to FM it will blow you out of the room. The volume will ALWAYS be at high when you switch to FM, it does NOT retain the volume setting once you turn it off. I can only assume the speaker was designed by a nearly-deaf person that lives alone, since this will most definitely wake up anyone still sleeping if you forget to turn the volume down before switching to FM. On the good side, this thing does have plenty of volume, if that's what you're looking for.I contacted SoundBot, they were responsive but had no answer for this problem.I would have given it 5 stars but for the volume issue, and am seriously considering returning it due to this.

I brought this for the shower to listen to music. It is water resistant. The speaker is loud and clear for such a little speaker. The bluetooth syncs all the time without any issues. For the price (I paid a little of $8), it is a bargain.It is not perfect though. One small issues with it. If you want to use the FM Radio, it does not get great reception. For me, the FM radio is useless. I do have another FM radio and it has no problems locking on to stations.

Just delivered a few hours ago, but I already see a bunch of design flaws. Despite what someone else said, there is no way to tell what radio station you are on. I would guess that there is more than one model of this being shown if others have station number prompts.This thing should really have a different button for volume up and down and the station up and down. Try to tweak the volume down a little and instead change the channel. Very frustrating.But the biggest design flaw is what happens when you first turn it on. It always goes to bluetooth. Even if you had the radio on the last time you turned it off it will start in bluetooth mode the next time you turn it on. And here's the worst part, when you switch it to the radio, it's always at full blast volume. No matter how low you had it when you turned it off, it will blast at full volume when you turn it on again.I gave it 2 stars because the construction actually seems OK. But the design is pure crap.

I bought this for my daughter as a Christmas gift. She is always listening to music and while she is in the shower. The speaker is awesome. The sound is great and it is easy to use. I was quite surprised at how loud and great it sounded. The suction cup stays on the shower wall and has not fallen off yet. We really like that we have the option to remove the suction cup as well if we are not using it. The speaker is allows you to skip songs right from the speaker which is really convenient if you are not close to your phone. You can also listen to fm radio if you want to also. For the price I highly recommend this speaker. It is a very nice speaker and not cheaply made. I will recommend this speaker to friends and family.

I had bought this as a gift for my husband. The initial trial was very impressive - good sound quality and reception of all FM stations. However, the battery doesn’t charge at all - not from the mains, not from a laptop, not from a powerbank...Is there a way to contact seller about this issue? The battery problem seems to be common - as many customers have faced it according to the reviews. The device didn’t even charge even once... I’m hoping that the seller provides a way to get this replaced or serviced. Until then, I’d warn off the prospective customers - you don’t need a non-performing gadget in your home.

Within 6 months , it battery life degraded and i had to use by directly connecting to power source. And as it was nearing a year many internal functions stopped working. As soon as the 1 year passed it's charging port got broken. Now it's in the e-trash bin. :DSo don't buy it better invest money in something else.

Sound is loud but sound comes only over Bluetooth. Battery backup is less than an hour after full charge. FM doesn’t connect at all. FM doesn’t connect even from rooftop. Bluetooth range is shorter. Wasted my time with this product.

Don't buy, FM is just a joke.. Never gets signal.. The device is so heavy that suction cup can support its weight and falls flat to the ground... Till now I didn't get it wet will update if I do... Sound is okay nothing special.. Better go for those cheap 300 rs one Bts. At least you won't regret.

1- Suction cup works maximum for 1 minute .2- bluetooth range is too short around 5-10 meter of area.3- FM doesn't works.4- battery backup is around 1 hour .
