Liven up your morning routine by showering to the accompaniment of your favorite tunes. This waterproof, fog-free shower mirror comes equipped with four 2W, 1.25" speakers so you can enjoy music while you wash. Tune in to a favorite radio station, or connect your Apple~ iPod~ or other MP3 player to the audio line-in connector for smooth wireless transmission of your saved music files. A storage compartment below the mirror keeps your razor handy, and sturdy suction cups ensure the mirror stays mounted firmly to the shower wall.

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
What's not so great: Audio quality mediocre
I would recommend this to a friend!
