#Shower radio and clock Bluetooth

With a station search (pressing the “FM” button to get into radio mode and then pressing “Play” for 2 seconds), you can have all stations with good reception stored in the channels fully automatically. The second nice thing is the built-in FM radio. I just wanted to mention this for the sake of completeness. I only use the timer and alarm clock via my iPhone and don't need any other device that would require more time to set. The box also has an alarm clock, which I have not tested, however. The rubberized keys allow reliable operation even with wet fingers. The display of the time often saves you having to look at the iPhone, which you have to bring out of standby by tilting it in order to read the time. If you switch off the box completely, nothing is displayed anyway, but the time (like all other settings too!) is of course saved internally - otherwise the feature would be pretty stupid. To save power, you can switch off the display during operation by pressing a button. On the one hand, the speaker has a built-in clock that shows the current time on the digital display.

In addition to the suction cup and the fastening strap on the top, the VicTsing Cantor offers two other special features that are less often found in other Bluetooth boxes, but which are not so surprising in a 'shower radio'. Here you can see the AUX and USB ports for connecting external audio sources and charging the device. Nevertheless, it is easy to operate using the buttons and the small rubber band on the top of the shower speaker is also a good idea so that it can be hung on hooks in the kitchen or bathroom. Unfortunately, the plastic is not rubberized all around, which would provide more protection in the event of a crash. The processing is ok from my point of view. A digital light display that has not been seen in a long time. The display on the Cantor Bluetooth loudspeaker is basically the same as on old digital watches and consists of orange light elements, with additional small symbols for Bluetooth, FM and battery charge being added. At the top right are the AUX and micro USB sockets, which are protected from water with a rubber seal. The controls are light gray and are located both on the front of the box and on the top left edge. The double suction cup in the background is also included.

The back of the shower loudspeaker is provided with a rubberized ring, which also has a slip-resistant effect on wet surfaces. There is a rubberized ring around this surface, which in turn prevents the shower radio from slipping if you place it on a smooth surface.

The back has a smooth, round surface so that the suction cup can be attached. It is a round plastic loudspeaker that is provided with various operating elements. In terms of optics, the VicTsing Cantor offers no surprises. It doesn't look like it was designed by Jony Ive, but it still works flawlessly: The VicTsing shower radio is not a design object. Protection class: IPX 5 Protection against water jets from all directions.Continuous operation: 10 hours at 70% volume.Ongoing operation: ≤ 600 mA (max.volume).Battery: 3,7V / 1.000 mAh built-in lithium battery.Bluetooth frequency: 2.4 GHz - 2.480 GHz.Bluetooth profiles: A2DP, AVRCP, HFP, SPP, BAS, DIS, FMP, HRP, HRS, HTP, IAS, LLS.Dimensions: 99 x 99 x 36 mm (99 mm = diameter).I would also like to list the technical data briefly, as readers always ask about battery purchase time or the like: The packaging of the VicTsing Cantor shower radio already provides information about some technical details (Photo: Sir Apfelot). How can you live without these things?!? -) Some time ago I gave it away to someone in need who didn't have a Bluetooth speaker yet. The ACME Bat is purely a Bluetooth speaker and has no radio function, but in principle it would have met my requirements.

And no, I'm not sitting in the shower with the MacBook Pro - you can also use it in the kitchen or at the desk! -)įor those readers who have followed me for a while: I once had one ACME Batthat I can still recommend. For this reason, the little VicTsing Cantor is playing next to me while I am writing this review for you. I already owned one or the other speaker model that was also waterproof, but the housing was often made of aluminum, so that a fall in the shower tray would certainly have damaged it. The fact that he's the best seller on Amazon in its category (shower radios) has encouraged me to keep an eye on the good piece. A few weeks ago I read something about this shower radio with Bluetooth connection and then ordered the VicTsing Cantor without further ado because I was still missing a real Bluetooth shower speaker.
