Title: Waterproof Ipod Speakers--Anyone Try This?
Post by: 2busymom on June 27, 2007, 01:45:59 am

I finally decided.  Yea!  Marquis Ultimate 630.

 Decided not to get the Audio option, because it didn't sound so great and it was expensive!  But I am thinking about trying this, has anyone else used this or something like this for your spa or shower, or something?   :)

I looked at various options myself and ended up with these

Any external speaker in a hottub is marginal for sound as the jets are simply too loud to hear the music good.
These headphones are nice because you just slip your IPod (if you have an ipod) into the slot. No wires. I wrap my ipod with one layer of saran wrap before shoving it into the slot to protect it in case any water splashes up. I’ve been using this setup for quite some time now.

I also use this setup for mowing the lawn, snow blowing the driveway, etc..

It's made the hot tub experience that much better for me.

We are mounting outdoor speakers near the hot tub, which will be hooked into our indoor stereo system.  We will dock our Ipod inside.   That way we don't have to worry about the Ipod getting wet.

I have hooked up a pair of outdoor speakers which are hooked into the stereo inside.  You really have to crank up the stereo to hear with all the jets going, so I don't know how the Ipod would work with small speakers unless you were just soaking with no jets on.  I have Direct TV hooked into the stereo and they give you XM satelite radio, which is on just about 24 hours a day in my house.  Good Luck!

Hi  sledjunkie,

I really like this idea and set up.  I get caught up in my Ipod wires even walking down the street (it's kind of funny).   ;D  The web page was great.

Gosh, everyone has some very good ideas.  I kind of think that I would use the sound only when the jets are off or low.  We have a very small backyard, so the tub will be close to all the neighbors.  Great ideas everyone, this was really helpful!  :)
