Mighty Vibe Spotify and Amazon Music Player - Bluetooth & Wired Headphones - 1,000+ Song Storage - No Phone Needed - Black

After fighting for a couple of years with the music feature of my Garmin 654m and AfterShokz headphones, I considered replacing the watch with the latest Garmin music model. But the tracking features that I use on the watch (running, biking, kayaking) work very well. The problem was that the connection between the watch and my headphones would drop, usually during a run. The only way to reestablish the link was to power down both devices, which during a run is annoying at best. I wanted a device that would sync my Spotify Premium account, as that is what I use for my playlists. I was pleased to find the Mighty Vibe that has such a feature. And at less than $100, much less expensive than replacing the whole watch. I received the unit, charged it, loaded the app on my (Android) mobile phone and connected easily. I synced several playlists to the unit after linking it to my Spotify account. The only issue I encountered was a bit of trouble getting the headphones to connect. I think this is more of an issue with the AfterShokz BT implementation though, as I had issues on other devices with these. Resetting the headphones, and being patient, allowed them to connect. Battery life is okay for the unit. I have taken it on two outings, playing around 60-90 minutes of music, and it shows 40% battery left at the end. I normally will not run longer than 60-90 minutes at a time, so for me this is sufficient. If you run for longer distances, this unit may not last your entire run. Sound is great, interface is easy to use, even clipped to my pocket. You can do all the things that are needed to skip or replay songs, change playlists, up/down the volume, etc. The unit is supposed to be rain and sweat resistant, but one feature that would have been nice to include would be a cover for the charging port to keep out any extra moisture. I have burned through many "sweat-proof" devices, so keeping as much liquid out of it as possible is my goal. I will find some plug to put in there probably. The app is good, not a lot of options needed. I don't see a way to rearrange your playlists without deleting them and adding them back in the order you want. You also cannot sync individual songs from a playlist, not a big deal for me. It does support all of your playlist items including the "Made for You" lists, plus podcasts, etc. You can resync all or a select number of playlists if needed. Sometimes the number of synced songs is not the same as the total number in your playlist. It is explained that Spotify sometimes restricts songs from being externally synced. So far, I am sold on this unit. I hope it holds up during the summer months. I bought the inexpensive extended replacement warranty just in case if it doesn't.

I bought Mighty as a replacement for my waterproofed ipod shuffle that died after almost 5 years. I shelled out $200 for that device due to having a graveyard of ipod shuffles that died from sweat or the odd unexpected rain storm. Looking around after 5 years, there was really a lack of lightweight and sweat resistant devices, but the Mighty looked like the perfect option so decided to roll with it. The Mighty was received quickly and was easy to setup / link to spotify / and add playlists. It doesn't come with headphones, but I had plenty lying around already from old ipods, iphones, etc so I was up and running in no time. The battery life was pretty short, but I planned on charging it after each run or two, so that wasn't really a deterrent for me. The issue occurred after just 5 runs when the device bricked. Running in the heat of Florida, it was exposed to some sweat, but it was never saturated or anything much worse than you see in their photos. I contacted Support and it took them about 3-4 days for them to respond each time. They required multiple videos showing the device would not charge or turn on and finally after about 3-4 emails back and forth, they confirmed the device was defective and were willing to replace it for me. Unfortunately, I have a toddler who loves finding things and hiding them. She especially loved the bricked mighty that was sitting around for multiple weeks while I was corresponding with Mighty Support. Needless to say, she's found a very good hiding place for it and I can't send in the device to be replaced - ouch. I'm sure I'll find the bricked device in a year or so when randomly cleaning somewhere. Despite the device dying within 2 weeks and only 5 runs, I may still consider buying another one. It was easy to use, lightweight, clipped on, and the spotify syncing ability was great. If doing so, I would certainly get a case for it to protect it from all elements because it doesn't appear to be as sweat or water resistant as stated. I may also switch to bluetooth headphones and tightly seal the headphone jack to ensure no sweat, dirt, or water gets in there. Finally, I would promptly dry and clean after each use. Obviously all of that is inconvenient, but in a market where there's not many strong competitors to this exact device, it is worthwhile for me. Or I may just have to shell out $200-220 for another waterproofed ipod shuffle and see if I can get another 5 years out of it. UPDATE (moved from 2->3 Stars): Customer Service has informed me they will still send me a new device with instructions to clean the headphone jack with a cotton swab after each run. I appreciate them still sending me one even though I lost the bricked device. Will try cleaning it after each run and see if this one can last longer. UPDATE 2 (moved from 3 -> 1 Stars): The new mighty arrived. I wiped it down and cleaned the inside of the headphone jack after every run. It still bricked after only 2 weeks. This thing is junk and can not handle anything beyond a single spec of water or sweat. Have now requested a full refund and will not be purchasing another Mighty until a new version is released and they can ensure it is water resistant and can last longer than 2 weeks.

So I got this to listen to music when I run so I don't have to lug around my phone. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and really don't have any major complaints. I have a Pixel 2 and connect it to AfterShokz OpenMove bone conduction headphones. The Android app is adequate - not the most intuitive interface, but certainly usable. I find that the device tends to not connect to wifi automatically, so when I want to sync new playlists or refresh my current ones, I have to make sure to tap the wifi tab and connect it first. The only other issue I ran into is that it doesn't play well with other devices if you're trying to connect multiple devices to your headphones. I made the mistake of connecting my headphones to my phone and ended up spending 10+ minutes trying to reconnect the Mighty to the headphones the next time I tried to use it. Sound quality has been fine. The tiny bluetooth speaker does occasionally have blips, but if you wait a few seconds it will restore connection and sound fine. I clip it on my pocket while running and don't have any problems. Overall, this device has been perfect for my needs and I can definitely live with the few shortcomings.

LOVE this little guy! I was nervous to buy this after reading all the negative comments, but I have to say this has been a game changer for me. There is now persuasive evidence that holding your cell phone in your front pocket can have an adverse effect on guys' reproductive health (see the work of Dr. Andrew Huberman), and although I'm not 100% convinced about those findings, it's something I've been mindful of. More to the point: I listen to a ton of music, but I hate having my bulky-ass phone crammed into my pocket every time I hit the gym, go for a walk, do chores around the house, etc. Plus I'm constantly hitting the wrong part of my iPhone screen and accidentally turning on a flashlight/deleting all my apps/inadvertantly shooting a video, it's just such a nuisance. Enter the Mighty player! I grew up in the 80s, back when you could just pop your favorite Def Leppard cassette into your Sony walkman and wear out both sides- holla if you feel me. I've been wanting to get back to that kind of simplicity. I'm happy to say that Mighty might just be the answer! Pair it with the TOZO A3 2023 wireless earbuds (an unbelievable value at $20) and you're good to go! I was torn between 4 and 5 stars, and really I rate this 4.5 stars. It's not perfect, but I plan to get a lot of use out of this thing! So here's my quick & dirty rundown. PROS: -one you get it set up, it's an easy-to-use daily MP3 player -simple design and simple controls -the "home" button will toggle through your playlists, and pick up wherever you left off the last time you listened to that playlist -sound quality is impressive for such a small little machine. Maybe lacking in nuance, but it actually seems to go louder than the iPhone -the app was nowhere near as dicey as other reviewers have suggested; I'm thinking Mighty must have improved the app since those reviews -nice little clip on the back of the player will attach it to your tank-top strap, or wherever you want to wear it CONS: -main complaint is the price; $120 seems expensive for a tiny little hunk of plastic that still has some functionality issues (albeit minor ones IMO) -Bluetooth 'skips' occasionally, although I haven't found it to be a huge problem. I can be in a crowded gym with lots of other folks using Bluetooth earbuds, and maybe I'll get one or two split-seconds skips per song -it's so small I'm afraid it'll be VERY easy to lose :-/ -Bluetooth does seem to drain the battery pretty quickly (you might only get 2-3 hours per charge when using wireless earbuds). So plan to go wired if you're on a long flight or something -it does take a minute to power up, but honestly it's really only like 60 seconds and you're good to go If you can live with those few drawbacks, I think you'll find this thing a worthwhile purchase. I've been loving the feeling of shutting off my phone and leaving it in my gym bag while I grind through my workout, or taking a long walk with my dogs and leaving the phone at home. Definitely a great way to simplify your life!

I have two kids who absolutely can't be in the car together. Every little sound that each one makes, drives the other one insane and we rarely even make it out of the driveway before they're hitting each other and throwing things at one another. I bought two of these in the hopes that having some ready-to-go headphones waiting in the car, without the need for an internet connection, or the ability to get drawn into other distractions like video games or youtube, would help them get along. And, I can say that, for the first time in over a year, we had a quiet and peaceful ride to school this morning. But it wasn't without it's frustrations in the lead-up. First, lets dispense with the small stuff. The thing is lighter than you expect and made out of weak plastic. I was expecting something more substantial feeling, like my wife's old iPod Nano (the little one that clipped onto your belt and was made of metal). But this feels like something that will be destroyed if you drop or it gets bumped wrong. Can't say it's happened, but just realize that the physical device feels cheap and flimsy, which is frustrating given the price. But my real complaint is about the app. There are definitely some quirks to getting the thing connected and syncing music to it. At first I thought I was going to have to return it, as I just couldn't get it to connect to bluetooth. Here's a hint, when the light flashes blue, you have to hit the "play" button on the device, and you have to do it quickly, or else you'll miss your chance. After about an hour of frustration, I finally was able to connect one of the units, and even sync a playlist of my daughter's favorite songs to it. I had piled up something like 150 songs, but it stopped at 120. I don't know if it ran out of room, or what, but after several attempts to finish the sync, I gave up. Quite frankly, 120 songs is more than enough for a 7 year old (my old mix-tapes had 20, if I was lucky). Getting the second one synced and connected was only marginally less frustrating, as it just didn't seem to want to do it. I rebooted my phone and then all of a sudden it worked. I selected fewer songs this time, and they transferred over with only one failed attempt (which at this point is feeling like a fantastic success). Another tip: create your dedicated playlist on Spotify for this device BEFORE you start trying to mess with it. That way, you can be ready to go when you pull it out of the box and try to sync it. Now, it turns off relatively easy...you just hold the play button for 5 seconds. My 9 year old figured it out quickly. 7 year old got super frustrated, but did eventually get it to turn off. I still haven't figured out how to turn it on. I just press and hold buttons over and over again until it starts playing, which it eventually does. There are NO written instructions for this thing whatsoever, and the app doesn't tell you much either. It's like they were trying to mimic Apple by keeping it simple, but unfortunately it doesn't "just work" like Apple, leading to a lot of head-scratching. All said, with about an hour or so of cumulative listening time between the two devices, I'd say they seem to be working as I'd hoped for my very limited use-case. Don't think you'll be updating your playlist in 30 seconds before you go for a run. This is more like the old MP3 CD that you spent a couple hours crafting and burning, and then popped into your discman and listened to the same music for weeks or months, just hitting the skip button until you found a song that matched your mood. Also, I from reading the reviews I understand you have to periodically connect it to wifi (which you do through your phone) in order to renew the song licenses. I can't wait until it's time to do that and it gets launched into the front seat by one of my pissed-off kids.

It's been a long, long time -- YEARSZZZzzzz -- since I actually sat and wrote an Amazon review. Such a pity, considering how much I tend to rely on others'. But I digress. This little gadget deeeefffffinitely compelled me to make one helluv an exception!!!! I have been searching for YEARSSZZZzzzzz for something JUST like this -- basically, an MP3 player-like device that would allow me to listen to not just music but SPECIFICALLY SPOTIFY'S MUSIC -- as I've been a huge Spotify junkie for years..no shame -- and WITHOUT relying on my cellphone or an otherwise Internet connection. Introduce Mighty. Egggfreakingzactly all tf I've been asking, hoping, and praying for!!!!! Admittedly, I was a bit skeptical in purchasing from some of the reviews that said it doesn't work and you still end up needing an Internet connection. For me, it has WORKED!!!!!! You only need an Internet connection for the initial setup (and I believe anytime you want to update your playlists from your Spotify account), and that is IT!!!! You're off to the races!!!!!!! So far since getting this thing, I've been on SEVERAL long walks without my phone and have still been able to jaaammm to my beloved Spotify!!!!!!! I use my favorite Bluetooth earphones with them, and the sound is *MUAH!!* FLAWLESS!!!!! I even was just still listening to it while walking around my apartment while the device relaxed on my kitchen counter tonight!! And still no issues with connection. Most DEFinitely one of the greatest purchases I've made on this site.. and I've made..a LOT... and over MANY years. This might be.. at least top 10, maybe even top 5. I love this thing overall. If I had to call out any possible negatives, it'd be that the thing is pretty damned small, so I'm almost positive I'm gonna lose or misplace it at some point. It isn't the most practical for keeping up with outside of when you're actively using or wearing it. It does have a little slit on the clip that I suspect is intended for a lanyard clip or something of that nature -- would've been nice if they'd provided something like that!! (Will have to double-check that they didn't.) But alas... We can't have it all, right? And I'm sure many find the smaller size much more convenient and helpful for its purpose -- basically just plays your music and gets outta your way. No distractions, like your much larger phone and other devices might be. Only other drawback is the limitation of the number of songs. I think it's somewhere around 1,000. I have literally over 100 playlists on Spotify, so it be nice to be able to bring in more of those lists with more songs. Buuutt I also understand 1,000 songs is...a lot. lol.. And I was able to get all of my most favored playlists -- I think somewhere around 10 -- up there and, from what I've been listening to do far, have barely tipped the iceberg of all the song options. So, overall, I'm not mad!! For what I've been needing for many years and what all this provides, I'll take those minor drawbacks any day. This device is AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Huge kudos to the company that finally made it happen. <3 <3 <3 Marry me!!!!!

I bought this December 2021, and I'm writing this in May 2023. I'm still using it 4+ days a week. I use this at my factory job where we're not allowed to have phones, but we're allowed to have earbuds. I have other mp3 players, but I greatly prefer the Mighty because the other players take a long time to load from searching for a song, ripping the audio, transferring the data, etc... plus that's illegal. I prefer the Mighty because all I have to do is create a playlist, or select a recommended playlist, and I have fresh music. (I use Amazon Unlimited) Battery: The battery is tiny, and must be charged every break I get at work. BUT... while I expect the battery life to get shorter and shorter, this one's charge lasts exactly as long as it did when I bought it a year and a half ago! (note: Bluetooth drains it a lot faster, so I stick to wired headphones) The charging cable and lack of an actual screen: Yes, this is a headache, but I want to come to their defense. Back in the day, many mp3 players were compatible with streaming services, including SanDisk. That ability went away for a very long time. Suddenly, Mighty was able to negotiate the ability to support streaming subscriptions again? I'm just guessing, but I bet the headphone jack charging cord and lack of screen prevents hacking, making the streaming services comfortable with loading tracks for offline use. The Mighty takes some getting used to. There's a learning curve. I do like that I can feel the front of the player without looking at it so I can pause, skip or adjust volume.

I've been using this product for almost three years. I am stuck with using it as I really want to use Spotify for running playlists AND I do not want to carry my phone as I run (who does?). I use it with bluetooth headphones (Beats Powerbeats Pro and then Shokz). When it works, its fine. The sound quality is good and I can easily navigate using the device. Its lightweight. The problem is getting it to work. There are many problems: 1) It requires that you login to the Mighty app, connect the device, and refresh it once a month. This is very annoying to realize as you are stretching and have already left your phone inside. You will get a prompt from the device after you press play "Spotify refresh required. Please login to the Mighty App and refresh your playlist." Super duper annoying. I remember to sync it now, but it's taken some getting used to. Still it begs the question of "Why?" 2) Bluetooth connection is weak. Make sure to turn off the bluetooth on your phone as you are trying to establish the connection between the Mighty and bluetooth headphones. Even then the connection is sometimes lost and has to be reestablished. It connects slowly even when it works. This is a huge pain in the rear. 3) Also some Spotify songs will not be able to be synced with Mighty. You won't see this until after syncing the Mighty with Spotify in the Mighty app. 4) When charging it always turns on. So you don't know if there will be adequate charge when you need it. It has died in the middle of many 45 minute-1 hour runs despite the fact its been on the charger. There are no other devices that charge using this type of connection. Clearly a design flaw. On a bad day I wind up messing with it for 30 minutes prior to my run. On a good day it connects after a minute or two. This model is need of a major redesign and overhaul. I can't believe it is the same GD model after three years. I suspect that Spotify the company is preserving some optionality to eventually sell their own device which is why we are stuck with this POS.
