Open the lid of the john so that it can freely emit your favorite music from the small waterless bowl. A little amplifier is angled up from the bottom and can be accessed from the back. Emulating pipework, an electrical cord connects to the rear of the desktop device so that you can hook it up to your computer or your mp3 player. The Universal Toilet Speaker even comes with a tiny [toilet plunger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toilet-lid-closer) that functions as smartphone stand.
