And it works with (almost all) Bluetooth or wired headphones.

Once playlists and albums are downloaded onto the Mighty player from the companion mobile app, the content can be played anywhere. Mighty is one of the first portable products that allows users of streaming music services to take Spotify or Amazon Music offline without a phone or Internet connection. But after that, the smartphone can stay at home. The Mighty still needs a smartphone app to connect to the streaming service, authorize the account, and download music to the player. The Mighty can be in fact a very useful proposition for millions of users who like to listen to their music while offline, and prefer the convenience of an easy-to-hide player that carries all their albums and playlists needed during a visit to the gym, while running, or simply commuting to work. And $110 feels pretty steep for a single-use device.Looking like a cheap, plastic version of an iPod nano, the Mighty Vibe is in fact a sophisticated device that required a long effort to be developed, to be able to support everything that it promises to do, in a light, affordable and very compact design. This one, apparently: In the past year Mighty Audio has raised the price every three months or so. What kind of tech product goes up in price?

However, back in 2018 it was priced at $85 and sometimes went on sale for $70. But here's one that might be: The Vibe sells for $110, which might not seem bad compared with the aforementioned smartwatches. Of course, as long as you plan ahead, that's not a deal breaker. It's not super-intuitive, and the process of syncing playlists - especially large ones - can be pretty slow.

The Vibe can be a pain to use, starting with the app that's used to configure Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and sync your playlists. It's water- and sweat-resistant, weighs pretty much nothing, works with both wired and wireless headphones and comes in your choice of three colors: black, blue and red.Īll good, right? Not all, no. Its battery is good for about five hours of play time, and it charges via a simple (but proprietary, so don't lose it) USB cord. The unit has space for over 1,000 songs, according to Mighty, though I'm not sure what kind of dent podcasts put in that storage.
