Shower radio

Shower radios generally lack headphone jacks and AC adapter ports, which could short out or electrocute the user.

The first mass-produced shower radio was patented in 1985 by Andrew R. Mark, of Stamford, Connecticut.

[1] The product was marketed by Salton Inc. under the brand name Wet Tunes.

More recently, water-powered[2] and wind-up radio designs have been produced to completely remove the requirement for batteries, though smaller capacity rechargeable batteries are used to some extent on hand-crank devices.

Shower radios can be paired with FM transmitters, allowing users to enjoy their favorite album or playlist from a portable media device while keeping it safe and dry outside the shower.
