Ultimate Ears provides another waterproof speaker that helps bring the party to your bathroom.
TheUltimate Ears UE Boom 3is a small Bluetooth speaker that’s not onlyIP67 water and dust resistant,but it also floats. That means it’s suitable for the bath itself, not just the bathroom.
The UE Boom 3 is the smaller version of theMegaboom 3, also worth considering if you want some extra bass in your bathroom, and both come with a Bluetooth range of 45 metres.
Featuring a ‘Magic Button’ on the top, you can play, pause and skip tracks directly on the speaker without needing your phone, and a long press will also offer access toApple Musicand Deezer playlists when connected to an iOS or Android device.
Get the best of both worlds
Singing in the shower just got easier with this speaker-packing showerhead.
The Kohler Moxie Showerhead makes singing in the shower even more tempting, thanks to its built-in Bluetooth speaker.
Those looking to employ one in their setup can choose to replace their regular, non-speaker shower head with either a wall arm or not, which makes it easy to install in a number of different types of bathroom.
The speaker will also work with any Bluetooth-connected device up to 32 feet away, even popping out of the showerhead if you want to bring the 1.5-watt glory with you.
There’s also a built-in rechargeable battery, giving you around seven hours of playback, and the design also comes in four different colour options.
Upgrade your regular bathroom scales
This affordable, connected smart scale is ideal for Fitbit users.
Fitbit’s Aria Air is quite different from the previous two smart scales we’ve seen from the company, stripping back the price considerably while retaining some key features.
Within the Fitbit app, users can also set up weight goal plans and also connect the scales to partner apps, too.
Control your mirror’s lighting
Add some smart lighting to your mirror with this beautiful option from Philips Hue.
Philips Hue’s Adorerange is ideal for those who want to add a bit of smart lighting into their bathroom setup, and the mirror is perhaps the pick of the bunch.
It comes IP44 rated, so it’s safe from the odd splash, with Hue’s White Ambience light around the edge of the circular design.
This ring of light can be controlled via the Hue app, naturally, though the unit also comes with remote control Hue Dimmer Switch, Hue’s Motion Sensor. Voice control is also available through Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri.
Always get perfect bathroom lighting
The smartest light you may place in the bathroom - ideal for adding warm and cool tones to your space.
If you already like your bathroom mirror and just need some smart lighting to brighten up your space, the Wall Light from Hue’s Adore range is a perfect choice.
Naturally, as with other Hue devices, you’re able to set schedules, routines and timers, with the temperature able to be dimmed and contrasted between 50,000 shades of cool, neutral and warm whites.
You will need a Philips Hue Bridge to connect it up, but, once you do, the device can also be controlled via Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomKit - as well as the app, of course.
