Just when you think tech can’t get any more advanced

Okay, so there’s digital shopping, digital communication, digital gaming, and now…digital showering?
If you’ve ever wanted to fulfil your lifelong ambitions of performing in your shower, then Kohler might’ve just grant you that wish of yours. Introducing the Kohler Moxie Showerhead, a device, in collaboration with Harmann Kardon that consists of a wireless smart speaker that fits in perfectly with Kohler’s ring-shaped shower head via magnets. The speaker is detachable for easy charging.
Amazon’s Alexa is also directly integrated into the overall systems, so you don’t have to physically touch the speaker unit to change songs, cos that’s so 20th century.
The speaker emits a white-noise cancelling frequency so that music and sound can still be heard over running water.
Of course, with Alexa’s full capabilities, it’s not only just for your music. If you’re late and forgot to set an appointment, just scream to the shower and it’ll do just that. The future really is now.
Though with electrical complications associated with water, you’ll have to take the head out and recharge it. A single charge lasts 5 hours, enough for a week’s worth of karaoke, and comes with a IP67 water resistance rating.
The Moxie Showerhead comes in two types, an Alexa built-in one that will be selling for $229 (RM941.00) and a bluetooth only version that comes in at $169 (RM695.00). However, there’s still no word on its availability, but it is expected to be released later on in the year.
If you want to find out more about the device, head on over to their official website.
