It’s drop- and water-resistant, holds up to 48 hours of music on a 2GB flash drive, has five hours of playback per charge, and uses an Android base to run the official Spotify app in the background, only instead of a screen, you use the physical buttons for control. The 1.5-inch square device clips easily onto clothing or accessories. All you have to do is fire up the companion app, sync those offline playlists to the gadget via Bluetooth or WiFi and you’re good to go. The iPod Shuffle-sized device allows you to listen to Spotify playlists without having to carry your phone. So, what to do? Well, you could get an iPod Shuffle or do what a team consisting of Samsung, Qualcomm and MOG alums did and created Mighty. Jogging with your phone attached to you can be a bit meh, especially if you’re at the gym and don’t need your phone for emergency calls. This is the latest audio player but it has been built with the sole purpose of squirting Spotify in to your ears when you’re out and about. I really, really hope this one can.Mighty by name, tiny by nature.
Spending a little over $70 is all it will take to reserve your own, assuming you still trust that Kickstarter ideas can deliver. Mighty's Kickstarter campaign is shooting for a goal of $250,000, with the first deliveries targeted for November 2016. Its design is claimed to be both drop and water resistant, so I'm hopeful the Mighty will endure everything that Apple's beloved player did and then some.
The 2GB of built-in storage is enough for 48 hours of music, by Mighty's estimate, which is more than enough to keep your gym routine at least sounding fresh. It plugs in via USB-C and promises five hours of continuous music playback.
There's a headphone jack, of course, but Mighty also works with Bluetooth headphones - something the iPod shuffle never got around to. Mighty will speak back the name of playlists as you cycle through them. Listening is all based on playlists, which might be annoying if this weren't a workout-focused product, where running playlists rule the land. Don't let its size fool you, either the Mighty player is actually powered by Android underneath that matte plastic, and it's running Spotify whenever you've got it powered on.Ī controller app on your phone syncs playlists over to the device and also handles authentication with Spotify so that you're able to take and keep songs offline for 30 days at a time. Running with your smartphone is risky, and smartwatches have been slow to support offline playback for services besides Apple Music and Google Play Music.
