我每周的最后一项 在新闻里 帖子通常是来自iOS世界的有趣或另类的东西。 2012年1月,作为我的最后一个 在新闻里 项目, 我提到了一个设备 在拉斯维加斯的“消费电子展”上展示过: 我淋浴. 有人想要带蓝牙扬声器进行淋浴,这让我感到很奇怪。 Well don't you know that about a year later, I received an 我淋浴 as a gift, so I've been using an 我淋浴 for many months now. 您的淋浴间需要蓝牙扬声器吗? No. No, you don't. 话虽如此,我经常喜欢在早上准备上班时听音乐或播客。'我不能长时间洗个澡,即使在我那里也能够继续聆听,这是很好的。 因此,这是我对该产品的看法,我怀疑这是我在iPhone J.D.上唯一在淋浴时讨论我的帖子。
There are two parts to the 我淋浴, the speaker itself and a plastic holder. The holder is optional, but I liked the idea of mounting the 我淋浴 at the perfect height on the wall of my shower. 支架的背面有3M粘合剂。 I removed the red plastic to reveal the adhesive, firmly placed the holder on a clean and dry part of my shower wall, and then fit the 我淋浴 into the holder. You can remove the 我淋浴 from the holder if you want to take it elsewhere, such as next to a swimming pool, and replace it later.
不幸的是,胶粘剂只能保持附着在我的淋浴墙上约5周。 I walked in my shower one morning to find both the holder and the 我淋浴 on the floor. 幸运的是,落在瓷砖地板上大约四英尺't damage the 我淋浴 in any way that I could see. The owner'的手册说您不应该重复使用粘合剂,而我没有 't want to tempt fate and risk another fall, so since that fall I have just placed the 我淋浴 on a ledge in my shower. 效果很好,但我希望持有人的工作时间更长,因为我确实更喜欢这种方向。
Note that the speaker is on the back of the 我淋浴. 支架将装置固定在距墙壁约一英寸半的位置。 If you are not going to use the holder, for best results you want to leave some space between the back of the 我淋浴 and the wall. Sound is muffled if the 我淋浴 is flat against a wall.
While I wasn'对持有人感到高兴的是,iShower本身表现出色。 将设备与iShower配对很简单,实际上,您最多可以配对五个设备。 进行初始配对后,只需按住电源按钮(设备正面左下方)一秒钟即可使用该设备,然后's it. 一两秒钟后,iPhone(或iPad或其他蓝牙设备)上的任何音频将改为通过iShower播放。 您可以说iShower处于开启状态,因为单词上方出现了一个蓝色的小灯"iShower" on the front. Press the power button again to turn the 我淋浴 off, or it turns off by itself after a few minutes of inactivity.在正常使用中,您只能看到一个蓝光,但是在它下方还有一个LED显示区域。 如果使用右下角的按钮增大或减小音量,则会看到显示的音量编号。 在我的测试中,第7卷(从1到10的比例)足够大到可以听到淋浴中的水声。 I haven't used the 我淋浴 outside, but the highest volume is reasonably loud for personal use, although too soft to provide booming music for a party.
LED指示灯也说"Hi"当您打开本机并"Bye"当您关闭它时。 而且,如果您按下显示屏右侧的时钟按钮,则可以看到当前时间。 淋浴时时钟有时会很有用。
最后,还有一些按钮可以播放/暂停音频,跳至上一曲目并跳至下一曲目。 考虑到离开淋浴,干手,然后轻按iPhone屏幕只是为了暂停或跳过一首歌曲会带来多大的不便,可以使用淋浴间中的这些控件是很不错的。
音质很好。 甚至我的耳朵都可以看出,音频质量无法与高级蓝牙扬声器媲美,但是如果使用淋浴,则任何声音质量都会受到损害,因为它必须与水声竞争。 And even when the room is quiet, the audio sound coming from the 我淋浴 is perfectly fine, and is certainly far better and louder than the sound coming from the iPhone itself. 这不是您要在客厅中使用的扬声器,但是对于浴室来说,这是非常合适的。
The 我淋浴 is not completely waterproof, so you don'不想把它丢进浴缸里。 但是它是防水的并且被设计为可以被弄湿。 As a support page on the 我淋浴 website puts it: "如果您坐在游泳池旁,并且有人认为在您旁边做炮弹会很有趣,那么您不会't have to worry about the 我淋浴 getting splashed. If you are on the patio grilling and it starts to rain, the 我淋浴 can continue to play without a problem. If you are on a boat and the 我淋浴 falls overboard ... well, the fish may have a few minutes of your favorite music, but you may have to get yourself another 我淋浴."
The 我淋浴 uses 3 AA batteries. 我通常一次使用该设备几次 一周,每次我只使用3至15分钟, 使用随附的电池可持续使用约三个月。 My replacement 电池已经使用了大约两个月,并且仍在继续 strong. 制造商表示,新电池将持续约15个小时。
提起侧面以进入电池仓的侧面有一个框架。 您也可以将该框架用作支架。
I thought that the 我淋浴 was just a funny idea when I wrote about it in January of 2012, and when I started using it earlier this year, my wife did roll her eyes a few times. 这显然是一种奢侈。 但是我必须承认,这很有趣而且有用。 我每周使用几次,我一直很喜欢使用它。 我什至发现我妻子在iPhone上使用它。
我希望塑料支架上的粘合剂效果更好,但在大多数情况下,'m happy with the design of the 我淋浴, and it works well as a speaker that can get wet. If you think it is worth $100 (or about $87 on Amazon) to listen to music or podcasts or anything else from your iPhone regardless of whether you are wet or dry, or if you are looking for a gift for the iPhone owner who has almost everything, the 我淋浴 lives up to its name.
