About Sony ICF-S80 Splash Proof Shower Radio with Speaker
Overall Feedback:
73% positive
87% liked the long-lasting battery, while 13% found it drained quickly
The battery life is reasonable, but I wish the radio used a more commonly used battery size like AA.
The battery is lasting well even after more than a month of daily use during morning showers.
I tried 3 fresh batteries in the evening and it burst into life, indicating good battery life.
The battery life is excellent.

86% praised for its durable construction, but 14% experienced breakage
The product is a bit bulky for a small ensuite, but its outstanding performance and battery life outweigh the price.
The construction quality is very good and it is definitely splash-proof.
I am concerned about the durability of the product as direct splashing could reduce its shelf life. Although the description indicates that it can withstand water damage, I do not want to risk it.

85% praised for its waterproof design, while 15% experienced water damage
I was hesitant to use the shower radio because of direct splashing, which could reduce its shelf life. However, the description indicated that it could withstand water damage.
I speculate that the unclear sound is due to the speaker being waterproof.
The battery compartment is not water tight sealed, so if the radio is placed far from the shower head, water may get inside.
