A visit to the sauna or steam cabin is all about peace, relaxation, and letting go of everyday stress. Whether it's your own sauna or steam cabin at home, or you're looking to enhance the experience in your hotel, wellness area, or gym – music in the sauna or steam cabin could be the missing element. Did you know that music can make this experience even more intense and personal? More and more people are discovering the power of sound in wellness environments. A calming tone, a gentle melody, or a deep rhythmic beat can significantly amplify the mental effects of the heat.
In this blog, you will learn how music in the sauna or steam cabin contributes to your well-being, what technical possibilities are available, and how AquaSound helps you turn every sauna session into a unique, all-encompassing experience.
The power of music during sauna or steam sessions
Heat relaxes the body. It opens pores, speeds up circulation, and supports recovery and cleansing. But mental relaxation is just as important. That’s where music comes into play.
Scientific studies show that calming music, such as ambient, classical, or nature sounds, stimulates endorphin release and significantly reduces stress. It slows the heart rate, lowers cortisol levels, and encourages deeper breathing – exactly what you want during a sauna or steam session. On the other hand, rhythmic music can provide a boost of energy, for instance after a workout or during a cold-warm routine.
With music, you create both atmosphere and direction: you decide whether you want to relax, recharge, or escape from the outside world for a moment.
Choose the right speakers for your sauna or steam cabin
Saunas and steam cabins are a serious challenge for electronics. High temperatures, humid air, and condensation are harmful to standard equipment. A regular Bluetooth speaker or conventional radio is simply not suitable. Fortunately, AquaSound offers specially developed solutions that are perfectly designed to withstand these conditions: sauna speakers. In our range, you will find two specific speaker sets that are ideal for the high temperatures in saunas and steam cabins: the Jazz and the Jive Eco. Both are resistant to heat and moisture and deliver a rich, warm sound despite their compact size.
Jazz sauna speaker set
The Jazz set is stylish, powerful, and versatile. The round speakers come in black and white, have a sleek appearance, and fit seamlessly into almost any sauna ceiling. They are heat-resistant up to 212 ºF / 100 °C and deliver a rich sound with clear highs and balanced bass. This set is ideal for those who see music as a true layer of experience during a sauna session – subtly present, yet always impressively clear.
Thanks to the elegant design and high heat resistance, the Jazz speakers are also suitable for traditional Finnish saunas or luxurious infrared cabins.
Jive Eco steam cabin speaker set
The Jive Eco is designed with steam cabins in mind and is also available in black and white. This set is ideal for steam cabins or infrared rooms up to 140 ºF / 60 °C. The speakers are slightly smaller but deliver surprisingly good sound. They are easy to install and offer an excellent balance between price and performance.
The Jive set is popular among wellness centres looking to equip multiple steam cabins with sound without compromising on quality or reliability.
Bonus for professional wellness areas: with our WiFi amplifier, you can connect multiple speakers or combine the Jazz and Jive sets to enable multi-room audio playback. This allows you to create a seamless music experience throughout the entire space. Want to learn more? Contact us.
Ideal for home wellness as well
More and more private individuals are installing a sauna or steam cabin in their home or garden. And with that comes the desire to complete the wellness experience. Music is no longer a luxury, but a natural addition. With the right audio solution, every session gets its own character, tailored to your mood or time of day.
While the focus is often on soothing music, AquaSound’s system offers even more flexibility. Listen to a motivating podcast, a guided meditation, inspiring breathing music, or even nature sounds that awaken the senses. The combination of heat, steam, and sound creates a total experience that nurtures both body and mind. Simply connect your phone via the Bluetooth or WiFi amplifier and use it as your audio source.
AquaSound’s systems are easy to install yourself. You don’t need to be a tech expert – the installation manual is clear, and the speaker sets are delivered complete.
Tip: Prefer not to use your phone as the audio source, so you can truly disconnect from daily distractions and incoming messages? Then consider using our bathroom radio as a sound source. The controller is not intended for use inside the sauna or steam cabin, but it is waterproof and ideal for use during moments of relaxation between sauna sessions.
