Showering is important. It’s an integral part of any healthy lifestyle. But we all have to admit that it’s also pretty boring in the morning when you wake up.
The way most of us start our day, we are either already three million miles from work or it’s still another hour and a half before we have to get the kids out the door.
To make matters worse, taking a shower can be a boring affair if you aren’t careful.
With zero distractions like phone, tablet or TV, you better be prepared to spend the duration of your shower thinking about 12.1 million separate ways to get your life in order.
That’s why it was a stroke of genius for Speakman to come up with this speaker that will allow you to sing in the shower.
1. Speakman, Polished Chrome S-2005-HB Hotel Anystream High Pressure Shower Head-2.5 GPM Adjustable Replacement Bathroom Showerhead
Pros:
- It comes with a lifetime warranty
- It is easy to install
- It includes a display card on how to operate the shower head
- It’s made of durable materials
- It comes at a reasonable price
- It has flexible settings
With plush material and an attractive design, the Speakman S-2005-H hotel is eye-catching and delivers unbelievably refreshing water pressure with superior flow technology. I feel it has the right tools for you if you’re searching for the best shower head with multiple arm settings. Little wonder, Speakman hotel is a Hose Head favorite.
2. Speakman SR-124 Assana Anystream Multi-Function Shower Head
Pros:
- Fully adjustable
- 79 shooting jets
- Easy to install
- Highly durable
Cons:
- Expensive
- May require professional installation
The Speakman Assana Anystream multi-function shower head is one of only a few shower heads on the market that offers a fully adjustable spray pattern. What that means for you is this shower head can be adjusted to cover the full width of your shower in varying degrees of intensity, which allows you to set the shower head to your own personal preferences. This shower head also comes with 79 powerful jets of spray, which are great for both relaxing and for helping to keep you feel fresh and clean after working out.
However, there are a few potential drawbacks to this particular shower head. This is a luxury item, so while it won’t break the bank, it still comes with a fairly high price tag. It’s also a bit more complicated to install this shower head, so it will probably be necessary to hire a professional.
3. Speakman S-2252 Signature Icon Anystream Adjustable High Pressure Shower Head-1.75 GPM Solid Brass Replacement Bathroom Showerhead
4. Speakman S-4002 Showerhead
Pros:
- Decent volume of water
- Sleek high tech look
- Quality material used
- Easy to install
- No leaking issues from buyers
- Price is certainly cheaper than competitors
- Water pressure feels great
Cons:
- Longevity is questionable
- Not exactly better than its competitors
The Speakman S-4002 showerhead is in our opinion the best shower head. While most shower heads have a flow rate of 2.5 gallons per minute, this model has a flow rate of 2.75 gallons per minute. We reviewed its well-known competitors, and this one is the cheapest.
Overall, buyers were pleased with the flow rate of the hose, the way it moved, the durability of the hose, and the spray settings. A common complaint with shower heads is that they leak, and this is one of the complaints buyers had with this model.
However, we think that it is not justified to rate a shower head as poor because it leaks for a week when it is brand new. There is no reason why the Speakman S-4002 would leak any more or less than any other bath fixture you have ever bought. In fact, you find no complaints for the life of the shower head.
5. Speakman VS-232007 Napa Anystream 2-Way Shower Combination
Pros:
- High-quality product
- Easy to install
- Looks great
Cons:
- Too high for tall people
- Low pressure
The 2.5 GPM, 2-way Anystream Shower Combination, Polished Chrome from Speakman is one of the best shower heads in the market. It has a nice and simple design that is not only easy to install but also looks great. Speakman argues that this is your perfect shower solution. I would be inclined to agree.
The shower head is designed to offer a gentle shower that is perfect for the elderly and those who need a lower pressure shower. As an added bonus, it also has a wide spray pattern that offers you control over the water flow.
The chromed units are made of the finest materials and are guaranteed to last you a long time. They come with high-quality rubber O-rings and silicone washers that ensure that they can withstand usage for a long time.
6. Speakman VS-3014 Caspian Anystream Multi-Function Handheld Shower Head
Pros:
- Multiple spray settings
- Water-efficient
- Easy to install
- Affordable
The Speakman Anystream is an impressive handheld showerhead that will give you a rich shower experience, making your morning (or evening) ritual more rewarding.
The most notable feature on the Speakman is the 3-way diverter valve that lets you choose between 5 different spray settings – full, massage, rain, mist and eco. Plus, the luxury of the Anystream series is that you can customize this shower head to your exact liking by using the On/Off valve.
Are you a person who enjoys a strong, forceful shower? If so, then the Eco setting is for you as it delivers the lowest flow rate of any other setting. Alternatively, if you crave a softer, gentler shower, select the full spray or the massage setting. There’s even an option to alternate between the soft and strong spray, letting you choose the setting that’s best for you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which Speakman shower head is the best?
What shower head has the best water pressure?
While we have not yet done a full comparison of every shower head on the market, we do know that Speakman offers some great options.
One of our favorites is the Superior Shower Arm Diverter that's perfect for their high quality, squared off body shower heads. Although all of their shower heads have impressive pressure, the Diverter is one of their most popular designs.
It's a great choice for any standard shower in your home as it fits most plain boring shower arms with standard 1/2" NPT connection. You simply screw it in and replace your existing shower head.
However, if you have one of the many Speakman shower heads that require more than a 1/2" shower arm, this may not work well for your home and there are more high pressure models available.
Are ionic shower heads any good?
Ionic shower heads are promoted as being able to get your skin and hair cleaner, reduce static in dry climates, and help you sleep better because of a supposed reduction in chlorine in tap water
