JVC Bath MP3 PlayerWhen you draw a nice, warm bath after a long day at work, what do you take with you in the tub: A rubber ducky? LED spa lights? A vibrating hairbrush? Or maybe you'd take JVC's XA-AW33 Bath MP3 Player.

Dubbed as the world's first waterproof MP3 player designed for bathing, the Bath MP3 Player holds 256MB of MP3s, WMAs, and WMA-DRM files and plays back up to 15 hours. It's meant to float on water, and even sports a blue LED for some mood lighting. But, I don't see any headphone jacks on this player, or even a sign of a speaker? Let's hope it has both for the whopping price of $229 from AudioCubes.com.

And if you're in the market for more weird MP3 players, check out my collection at PCMag.com.

If I'm not mistaken, it just plays through the built-in waterproof speaker. ;) No headphones necessary, and the speaker points up, so hopefully while it's floating it'll play the sound straight up.

Still...looks like a urinal cake or something. >

I think this is one player where that's way more than enough battery life. Besides, with 256 mb of storage, you're gonna get pretty sick of the same four albums long before that anyway. Not to mention how cold and pruny you'd be.

I think I'll stick with my Sansa and Altec Lansing speaker dock placed conveniently on my bathroom sink.
