Bathtub Audio-Visual System：Finding the Best Bluetooth Speaker
Choosing bathtub accessories can be tricky, especially when it comes to Bluetooth speakers—there are so many options. But what's the real difference?
At first glance, most look almost the same. But the real distinctions are in the details.
Many of our clients come to us with a specific popular model in mind. After discussing their needs, they realize just how much more there is to consider—sound quality, compatibility, and waterproof performance.
At Hydrorelax, we're proud to share our expertise, helping clients make smart choices for their bathtub accessories.
Key Components of a Bathtub Audio-Visual System
1. Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker
Types:
Inwall (Hidden) VS. Wallmounted
Performance:
Waterproof Rating: The speaker should have at least an IPX6 rating to ensure it performs well in a humid environment without damage. (This ensures it works in bathroom moisture and water.)
Sound Quality: Clear high frequencies and balanced bass to deliver premium audio in a damp setting.
| Category | Option | Features |
| Full-range Speaker vs. Bass-Enhanced | Full-range Speaker | Delivers balanced sound frequencies, ideal for general listening needs such as background music or voice playback. |
| Bass-Enhanced | Provides stronger bass for movie watching or an immersive audio experience. | |
| Wired vs. Wireless System | Wired System | Offers stable signal transmission, ideal for larger or more complex bathroom layouts. |
Wireless System | Ideal for retrofitting, flexible connection | |
Brand-specific vs. Universal Accessories | Brand-specific | Custom-designed to perfectly fit the bathtub, offering optimal sound and visual performance. |
Universal Accessories | Widely available but may not fully integrate with certain bathtub designs. |
Materials: Corrosionresistant materials like ABS for longlasting durability.
Installation Recommendations:
Beside the Headrest: Closer to the head for an immersive sound experience.
Bathtub Edge: Ideal for wider sound coverage but may require more careful bathroom layout planning.
Water Resistance Rating for Bathtub Accessories
| Rating | Meaning | Specific Protection Description |
| IPX4 | Splash Protection | Protects against water splashes from any direction, but not suitable for immersion in water. |
| IPX5 | Water Spray Protection | Can withstand water spray (6.3mm nozzle) from any direction without harmful effects. |
| IPX6 | Strong Water Spray Protection | Can withstand powerful water spray (12.5mm nozzle) from any direction without harmful effects. |

Key Factors for Compatibility and Matching with Your Bathtub
Round Bathtub vs. Square Bathtub:
Different speaker layouts are required. For round bathtubs, speakers are best placed along the edges, while square bathtubs allow for a symmetrical arrangement.
TV Viewing Angle and Bathtub Curvature:
The curve of the bathtub affects the optimal TV viewing angle. Careful adjustment during installation is necessary to avoid screen reflections.
Dry-Wet Separation Design:
The control box should be installed in a dry area, away from water sources, to prevent moisture damage.
Pre-installed Wiring vs. Retrofitting:
For new bathrooms, pre-installed wiring is recommended. For retrofits, consider the available wiring space and the overall structure of the renovation.
Q&A - Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I add an audio-visual system to an existing bathtub?
A: Yes, retrofitting is possible, but it requires evaluating wiring space and installation options. For a seamless integration, we recommend considering a wall-mounted Bluetooth speaker.

A: Using Bluetooth 5.0 or higher, along with anti-interference antennas, can effectively minimize the impact of steam on the signal.
