You pair the player and headphones up in the app, but Mighty then attempts to reconnect to the headphones on its own when you stop and start listening. It doesn’t just connect to wired headphones but wireless pairs too, and even Bluetooth speakers and car stereos.Īfter the nightmare I’ve had with the app, I’m glad to say this connection works just fine. Naff battery life also spoils one of the Mighty’s best features. It’s likely that the Mighty continues using a bit of charge even when it’s not playing, because the wording of the battery claims is five hours of “continuous” playback. But in my experience it’s currently worse than that.įor example, after not more than 90 minutes of music to take the edge off a trip around IKEA, I checked the battery to find that the Mighty only had 57% charge left. Mighty Audio says you should get five hours of playback, which already isn’t great when the iPod Shuffle lasts 15 hours and the £25 SanDisk Clip Jam 18 hours.
What’s more of a long-term concern is battery life. This is pretty annoying, but it is at least a fixable bug that Mighty has already acknowledged on its Kickstarter page. Then, with no apparent change, it’ll suddenly work. You’ll see the wheels spinning, and nothing happens. Since then I’ve spent hours trying to get the little thing to connect. The first time I used it to transfer some tunes, it worked perfectly. Is there any alternative, a reliable player (preferably with no screen) that can play spotify for a long time? Basically a phone with no screen, dedicated to playing spotify and incapable of doing anything else.Right now, Mighty’s wireless connection to its app is flakier than a quality croissant. Pebble Core is dead, Garmin Vivoactive is another bulky watch, expensive and again loaded with software that I don't want to have. Tons of other software bothering me there too. I read that a Samsung Gear S3 can play spotify, but it has only 4GB of storage and to be honest I don't want to wear that ugly ass watch. If I find nothing else I will get one and see how long it lasts but I'd much rather spend money on something solid built in the first place.
I found the "Mighty Vibe" player but it seems weak, coin-sized plastic for 90 bucks with no seperate charge port, ridiculously tiny battery (5hrs). I searched online with no success, maybe someone on here is using something that fits my needs. Not something that happens to run spotify at the moment. Just to be clear, a device that has the specific function of playing spotify and nothing else.
I need a device that can play spotify offline and connect to bluetooth headphones.
