Spending an entire life in the bathroom can at times be a perilous journey. In the shower, for example, the simple act of washing one's hair can have dangerous consequences when an electronic device is mistaken for the shampoo.

That's where the "Euphonia" headset from BainUltra can be especially handy, a set of waterproof headphones that connects wirelessly to a companion MP3 player mounted on the wall, according to Trendir. The system, which is scheduled for release in December, doesn't have a price tag yet. However, as we saw with the inexpensive but unsightly shower knob radio, cost isn't everything when it comes to bathroom media.
