I had the older version of the Moxie and the newer version is way better. The sound alone is more amplified and clear and doesn't get muffled by the water. Also, it's better contained and you can't hear as much for people who aren't in the shower either! The shower spray is normal, similar to the older head but still just fine. I don't really take the speaker out to use it anywhere else but I can see that it would sit on the counter way better than the last one and that's smart. Overall, YOU SHOULD GET THIS. You won't regret it!
