Mighty 3 Spotify & Amazon MP3 Music Player - Compatible with Bluetooth & Wired Headphones - 1,000+ Song Storage - No Phone Needed - (Red)

Firstly, please ignore some of the negative reviews on here. If you follow the simple instructions, you will not run into any problems! I have just bought one of these for each of the kids. Set up was simple, quick and I had soon transferred playlists onto each device. I easily managed my three separate players, each with different playlists, from the app. The Mighty3 is perfect if you do not want to be tied to your phone and is great for listening when out running (it’s so tiny, light and clips onto clothing easily), when you do not want any distractions when doing homework or when you just want to spend time away from your screen. I am already thinking of getting another one for myself.

Got this as part of my desire to go phone free. By switching to a dumb phone I thought I still wanted to have music. Part of my problem was that most of my music collection is now on Spotify. Which obviously meant I needed some form of device that could play this music. Hence buying the Mighty. Also I thought it would be quick and easy, but this turned out to be much more glitchy than expected.First you sync your phone to it - I synced it to my phone, Mac book and iPad without issues using the app. Next you can sync your headphones either Bluetooth or wired obviously and next comes difficult trying to synchronise your playlists. It’s at this point point that I should probably point out that I have a computer science degree and teach technology for a living and I’ve previously worked as a sysadmin.So in principle, it’s quite quite straightforward. It already has access to your Spotify so all you do is select the playlist that you’d like to synchronise to your Mighty. The mighty holds about 1500 songs. What’s that? Sounds great however in practice it turned out to be less than Stellar.The biggest issue is the fact that even when it was connected to a really strong Wi-Fi network and My Phone was really close by it took forever to synchronise even the smallest playlists for example a 13 song playlist took nearly 40 minutes to synchronise. This is just too long.I thought that it might have been my Internet connection, so I tried it at work where we have one gig per second Internet it was exactly exactly the same. So it turned out that it definitely wasn’t the Internet connection that was the issue and it’s more likely to be the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection on the Mighty itself. I think this is likely acknowledged by Mighty as they have promised to improve the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections in future updates using the software however I can’t feel entirely confident that these issues will be resolved as I think they’re more likely to be hardware issues than software issues. There is an awful lot they’ve tried to fit into a very small package.So whilst I’m really really happy with the design of the product and really happy with what it looks like in practice it just isn’t living up to expectations, and that’s why I returned it. I think I’ll probably go back to my original iPod that also doesn’t rely on a Spotify subscription.

It’s quite expensive but can get my child away from the screen while listening to music in the go. I think it’s worth it. I also like the cute design and very light material. Quality seems to be good, no complaints so far.

The app is pretty bad, constantly losing connection with the mini itself and headphones(yes I have disconnected them from my phone). Syncing takes way too long. Very often on runs the connection between the player and headphones is really bad with the sound cutting in and out and sometimes it just stops altogether. I've tried with 3 pairs of headphones and same issues. Feels like this could be a great product but the user experience for me has been terrible and I wouldn't recommend on that basis.

let me begin by saying that when i purchased this my expectations or what i hoped to get out of this purchase was a modern ish ipod shuffle where i can play my songs at random (shuffle) and use bluetooth headphones as well as transfer my music so i can listen on the go without a smart phone. to begin with you need a smart phone to set this up EVERY TIME you want to use it because of the bluetooth you need to connect it to your phone first then to the headset you want to use before leaving the house. my second issue is from the transfer / playback of songs. you need to use bluetooth to add the songs to teh device which for me took about an hour to transfer about 90 songs.. this may stem from an issue with my home wifi (unlikely) but what i found most confusing was as soon as i set it up i connected it with the included cable directly to my phone there was charging but no ability to use the transfer cable to transfer songs onto it idrectly which i found very confusing. secondly i managed to add about 4 albums onto it and used it as i went out this morning but there is no function to shuffle the songs it plays if you add a playlist to the device it will play them in order and that is it so no way to change the order it plays once you have left your phone behind. finally i had it on 90% battery this morning when starting the transfer and after using it for maybe 2 hours out it was telling me it had low battery.. maybe it is drained from the transfer over bluetooth but surely it should be able to play music for more than 2 hours on a nearly full charge. nonetheless i will be returning this and looking on ebay for an actual ipod shuffle. id rather spend longer transfering songs and knowing it will do all i want than try this and find out it is all bad. the reason i gave 3 stars is because as a portable MP3 player it does play the songs and it does connect to bluetooth the build quality is nice and the sounds quality is good (this could also be 100% down to my headphones however). value for money? absolutely not.

Uploading and refreshing playlists can be frustrating and will suddenly work without any issue after failing numerous times for no apparent reason. I bought this so that I could use Spotify playlists for running without my needing to carry a phone. It’s easy to carry due to its small size and is lightweight enough to be barely noticeable. It pairs perfectly with shokz openrun and the sound and volume have been fine for me. Hopefully the syncing of playlists will get better as time goes on because this is a great little device when it works but incredibly annoying when it won’t
