I wear my earbuds in the shower all the time.

    Not OP, but I've been wearing any of the IP68 Sony earbuds in the shower for many years. Currently WF-1000XM5 for at home and a pair of the LinkBud S for on-the-go. They fritz a bit sometimes if the mist from the shower hits just right but you can literally wipe them with your wet hand and it goes back to normal. I even put them away damp when I'm lazy...

    not op but if you want decent ones, skullcandy push active. i have had a couple pairs make it thru a washer/dryer cycle (inside their case) and they dont quit lol. other comments mentioned touch controls being a problem in the mist, these ones only have physical buttons so no issue there

    Bose quiet comfort. I dont put my ears in the water when I do this. They have capacitive touch controls so they will start cycling through the different noise canceling modes if they get even a few drops of water.

    This works great in the bath, and fine in the shower if I'm not washing my hair.

    I used to have some beats that had a mechanical button and they did even better because the little bit of moisture wouldn't start activating the mode swapping or volume changes.

    I mean I just have a shelf high up in the shower that I put my phone on and play music out of the speaker. The acoustics are great in the shower, why would you want earbuds?

    It works for me. Go for a run, hop in the shower. Earbuds stay in from the run. Nobody else listening to my phone. Dont have to worry about a phone shelf in the shower.

    I also really really like noise canceling.
