CD-MP3 Shower Companion With AM/FM Radio and Alarm Clock, $200

Features: This compact boom box is designed to hang from a showerhead (and is perfectly safe to operate wet), but it can also sit on a shelf or be mounted on a wall. It has a VHF band for broadcast-TV audio. Runs on six C batteries or a household outlet (adapter sold separately).
Sound Quality: Even if the machine is jostled, CDs don't skip, and there's surprisingly little echo.
