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

It's a brilliant device for our daughter who makes her own Spotify playlists. This has opened a new world for her and she loves it. Usability from her perspective is dead simple and air tight, without issue, as it's uncomplicated and simply does what it's intended to. However for the administrator, that is, the parent, it's quirky. As others have said the software on the phone and synch experience is glitchy and slow. Firmware updates never complete or synchs go on and on and it's unclear what's happened. Bluetooth headphone volume control doesn't work with expensive Sony noise cancelling, but works fine with wired headphones.If you're patient and indulge the fact that this isn't an apple device (remember the iPod nano? ) then you'll love it. If you struggle with technology and "yet another app" then maybe wait until they've got the bugs worked out. It's also expensive for what it is. Still it's a brilliant idea and fills a void in the market. And the nightly auto synch / playlist update feature is brilliant. Highly recommended if you have a kid who likes music.

Update: My son was able to get it to complete the update sequence on his phone. And now it will update from my app on my phone. I've had it almost a year and with a lot of time and effort, I can get it to work. But every 30 days, it forces me to reconnect because it doesn't recognize my Spotify membership. Says it's a 30 day trial. So it won't play my music. Then I reconnect and download updates, and it won't recognize it. 30 minutes later, I still haven't gone on a run, because I'm monkeying around with this stupid thing. Eventually, with reconnecting and repeating it will work, if you have time to spend on it.Don't waste your money. Find something else. I cannot believe how expensive this thing is. I think that is the only reason I kept trying to make it work.The Mighty 3 is a mighty piece of garbage. I was initially able to get some playlists downloaded from my Spotify account. However, they could not be very large. Then it kept promoting me to initiate an update, which I did. During the update it would just freeze on step 3 and never complete the sequence. So I went to the company's troubleshooting page and walked through all their recommendations: uninstall the app, reinstall the app, turn it off, turn it on, blah blah blah. It still wouldn't update. The last resort was a factory reset. So I did that. And now it doesn't work at all. When I contacted the company, they want me to videotape it not working at all and send them the video. Not sure I'm willing to spend anymore time on this, especially when I don't feel confident they will make good on their warranty promise. Also, to video it's inability to function with the app on my phone, I need to involve someone else to take the video. So nothing about any of this is convenient.If only I could find a use for a little plastic square with a blinking light that does absolutely nothing. Also, I spent 125.00 on this piece of junk.

Had it several weeks for gym use and running with Beats Studio+ or Open Run headphones and syncing using a high end 5G Android tablet. This thing is small, weights nothing and clips anywhere.Syncing with Spotify and connecting with the phones has been flawless. The Android app is clear and easy to use. No issues.I generally do not do reviews, but this is one product that is designed and performs as advertised. Since I prefer not to use a smartphone (using a flip phone on the go with a tablet around the house), the Mighty has proved perfect for working out. Simple and it works.There have been very infrequent (maybe twice so far) tracks that had 1-2 seconds of static, but it's uncertain whether that is a corrupted download, the bluetooth connection, or the Mighty.The only means of changing the exact play order on the unit is to change it in Spotify and resync. The Mighty can be switched to shuttle.Do I wish it had a longer battery life for traveling? Yes, but it is as advertised at 8 hrs and comfortably meets the gym or 5K duration. Also, it uses a small phono type plug/USB A dongle for recharging; I would prefer a USB C, B or a more easily replaceable non-proprietary interface.I generally do not do reviews, but this is one product that is designed and performs as advertised.

Simple and it works.UPDATE: I have found that with the Studio Beats the Mighty intermittently fails to automatically launch the next track which can be pain while on a treadmill. The Beats Studio Buds (an Apple product) required an Android app to pair with the Android 13 tablet that runs the Spotify and feeds my Mighty. Using the Trekz or using a plug-in headphone works absolutely without fail.The manufacturer should target this for a software fix.
