For the price, this is a decent product. The suction cup mounting kit is super solid and works great. Sound quality is what you should expect out of a waterproof system in this price range & there is plenty of volume range. I had the same issues with the 1/8" to 1/8" input cable as some other buyers (poor sound quality & low volume initially), but I switched the cable ends and it works fine now.
What's great about it: Convenient, mounting to wall is very solid, clock is nice little feature, decent sound
What's not so great: Radio reception is not great, instructions are limited/not adequate

My husband, as he was trying to install the shower radio, was trying to remove the suction cups to reposition them. As he was doing it, the plastic frames for the suction cups broke. Other than that, the reception is OK, with some showers receiving a better radio signal than others.
What's great about it: Decent size mirror, digital reception

MY daughter loves singing in the shower, so I bought her one for Christmas. Couldn't get that one to work at all, so I had to bring it back to the store. Not a great way to start out. The second one had worked well until the unit fell off the wall a second time (one of the suction cups doesn't like to work and because of the design, you can't realign the cups to put a weak one in a less vulnerable position). Now, less than 7 months later, it no longer works. The radio reception was a bit spotty, but I'm willing to blame that as much on our location as I am on the unit. Additionally, the mirror "hides" a compartment which is now visable unless we tape the mirro down.
What's great about it: the variety of sources for music (radio or MP3/iPod)
What's not so great: suction cups don't work well, mirror isn't great.

Let's face it, there is no good shower speaker system. Best Buy acquired a company that always made cool products with bad execution at a high price. This product follows that Sharper Image philosophy. The MP3 stand on this guy has a swivel 3.5mm jack that is only convenient for certain players like the advertised sandisk player or the iPod Nano 3G (fatty). it comes with an AUX cable to plug in players that don't fit well on the stand. The cable that came with mine had the worst cable quality I have ever witnessed, and actually lost a channel of audio when plugged. I had to provide my own cable to get all the sound to transfer through. The clock on the device looks cool, but is only visible when you press the small clock button on the bottom (to save battery life) which is a bummer because I need a clock that reminds me that my shower is taking too long! The mount uses three suction cups (very secure in my test) and allows the device to be dismounted easily without taking off the mount bracket. This way, you can take out the device and use the built in stand to place it on your sink (or wherever you desire). The radio signal comes in clear, but is slightly muffled (expected from any shower radio device). The MP3 cradle will send the audio clear enough as long as it is in the bathroom. I set it up in my bedroom (about 30 feet away from the bathroom) and the audio VOLUME drops significantly, so I can hardly hear it once the shower is running. The quality of the wireless audio, however, isn't half bad for a device of this kind. So to sum it up, a good idea executed halfway decent. The mirror is nice, the clock is cool looking, the audio from the MP3 is good enough (as long as you bring your own cable or buy a certain player that fits in the awkward placed jack).
What's great about it: Being able to see the time with a futuristic design

Fantastic Product. Very cool. Very easy to set up, suction cups work wonderfully in my shower, nice and strong. My base sits about 10 feet through 1 wall away from my shower, it get's a very good quality of music. Obviously if you move this thing 20 or 30 feet away you will have problems, just keep it semi close. Be aware however that the Audio jack is on the bottom, as the base was designed for 5th gen iPods, not any lower. Basically, you need an iPod where the audio jack is on the bottom of it. If you don't have that it, it will still work, your iPod will just sit in there upside down.
Great Product. I would deff recommend it to anyone who's looking
What's great about it: Easy to set up and use, Decent Price, Works great
What's not so great: Limited controls, Cannot change MP3 Song inside of shower

The sound quality is so poor, I had to keep increasing the volume then it gets distorted. I was using my iPhone with the jack that came with it. I will say that the radio came in much, much better. But since I got this to use primarily my iPod devices, I will be returning to the store tomorrow morning. My final thought: If only for radio use it is mediocre and a fair price. If for any mp3/iPod use, you have been warned.

This unit is very easy to set up. Sound is just OK nothing special. The reason I will be returning it is because the suctions cups do not hold on my shower tile. It has fallen 4 times.
What's great about it: Easy set up
What's not so great: Radio doesn't come in good, The suction cups do not hold.

It's an awesome product! I'm quite pleased! The only thing that's not so great is the occasional static, and lack of radio station quality...but for ipod users like myself it's wonderful! It's saving my ipod from a wet death! :)
What's great about it: Easy to use...multiple ways to hook products up
What's not so great: sometimes it's staticy and the radio stations don't always come in
