Spot on review. I have one of these and barley use it anymore. It's extremely difficult to get it to connect to my bluetooth headphones and the device has to be literally clipped to my shirt collar otherwise it has trouble getting a signal. It does feel cheap, but I've dropped mine several times and it seems to hold up. I think for a $40 or $50 price point I'd be more willing to recommend it. Just too expensive for all of the limitations that it has.
I have the original version of the Mighty, and love it! no issue after a year worth of use I have to use it with wired headphone as the battery with bluetooth is 90 minutes top! What sort of battery life are you getting with your bluetooth headphones - thats the major decider on if I upgrade or not. Me personally, I love it - perfect when I go out on runs and don't want to be carrying my iPhone XR(which is a beast). One time I headed out turn my earphones and the mighty and they just wouldn't connect - so that ended up being a music-less run. I try to only use it with wired headphones atm for that reason + battery life if going over an hour.
except you can no longer download podcasts and music to your iPod since they got rid of iTunes. I love my nano but it's no longer compatible with MacBook or PC
@@seeleygutierrez8481 This isn't true, I still mainly used my iPod to download podcasts until it bit the dust a month ago. I now use a Zune, and although the marketplace is down the podcasts still work.
@@seeleygutierrez8481 I just downloaded iTunes on my computer a few days ago. I'm not sure why ppl are saying it doest work anymore. I bought an old ipod nano and have been adding music to to it all day. I just import my music from my computer or different hard drive that I had saved or rip a CD and put it on, or use Amazon music that I bought and put that on on from my computer. It worked fine. I got a mighty vibe for my son for school but I wanted to stay old school with a nano
I hate using my smartphone period, I'm wanting to just get a normal phone (no apps or gimmicks) I'm just curious, my phone can connect to my car and plays music via bluetooth. Could this device play my music through my cars speaker? If somebody could let me know then that would be great. Thanks.
Hey dude, good review. Can I use the mighty vibe just as an mp3 player without connecting to amazon or spotify? I just want something that I can drop mp3 files onto and have them play, is that possible with the mighty vibe?
Hey Benny. Nope u can't use it as a mp3 player. It's only a streaming player for those two apps. Check out some of my other vids where I run 5ks to ultramarathons. Subscribe if you want to follow along with my journey
I suggest you to buy simply an MP3 player from Amazon, it's less than 40$ and it works perfectly. I used them since 2016 till now and it works fine. But you should find those with Bluetooth. The cheaper one doesn't have Bluetooth inside.
@@GokuRunner oh that's a bummer. I use the music on mine for 80%-90% of my runs and I still get a good week between charges. Assuming my half on 3/28 doesn't get canceled I'm going to use it for music to truly test out the battery.
dang. kinda cool but around twice what i want pay, plus only 5hrs playback for something with no screen isn't great. been looking for way to still have music on the go if i downgraded to a rudimentary phone with no social media, but sucks to think if i cancelled spotify premium then i couldn't use this. i do miss the days of mp3 players, feel like nowadays it'd be a lot to effort to just get an mp3 and put music from my pc on there, because i don't have hard copies of music on my pc anymore. nice review tho regardless 👍
this is the future music player, where everything is online, no need to download just sync it..can use without internet just a spotify which i always used or amazon music..and a blutooth for wireless headset..this is exactly what im looking for.. they are the pioneer of these music player genre thats why the price is skyrocketed, im encouraging for other company to do the same.. but with the price of the moment is too expensive(tempted), but im still waiting for the other model which worth the price..
It's an mp3 player..... That was the future 20 yrs ago.... It's cheaper, makes more sense to get a phone holder...... That was 10-15yrs ago... Now buds....w amazon built in...... That's still.....not really the future.... Elons star link....w chips in heads.... That's the future of everything
I'd get one if it was a little bigger & had better battery, as well as a little screen to see what in the actual hell you're navigating through & playing.
I have the beats pro wireless-if i was to put that in my pocket and run with it do you think it would disconnect?.If so do you use another mp3 player you could recommend?Thanks
Once you've loaded a playlist on the device, is that playlist ready to go each day or do you have to mess around without before you leave the phone? Hopefully that makes sense. I want to just load it for a month or so and not have to reload, reload etc.
Yup once downloaded it's on there. No need for phone after that. Check out some of my other vids where I run 5ks to ultramarathons. Subscribe if you want to follow along with my journey

Nice video, but this product is the definition of solving a problem that never existed. Over £80 for what is essentially a clip on MP3 player from 10 years ago. I understand that the difference is that it uses music from those streaming services (which is definitely going to be hacked to allow ripping from Spotify btw) but if you just need some music to go and run with and you are serious enough about running not to be carrying your phone, chances are you will have a watch that has music playback, or if not, is it that much effort to load some mp3 files onto an iPod shuffle / generic player? This is massively overpriced for what it is.
This device is a pain to connect to my phone and Amazon music so far..definitely not worth the $80 something..I'm going to walk away and try again but if it doesn't connect after another try then it's getting sent back.
@@GokuRunner i only have a pc i didnt understand , i thought i was buying a mp3 player for my amazon music account ? amazon item disciption on the page is :Mighty Vibe Spotify and Amazon Music Player - No Phone Needed
hello sir first time viewing your video loved it ...... i have a request are you willing to sell or gift this product to mee plzzzz.plzzz plzzzz ...i m an Indian by the way . Thanks love your content .❤😊
I think I'll pass. I was looking for a device to listen to Spotify while running since I don't like the feeling of my clunky phone in my pocket but the price on this is up to $100. Overpriced for being a one-trick pony that can only work with Spotify/Amazon subscriptions. I can see paying $50 but for $100 it should have a touchscreen and/or be more versatile.
For sure. Those are some of the things I stated in my initial review. If it were priced at 50 bucks it would be perfect. Thanks for watching. Check out some of my other vids where I run 5ks to ultramarathons. Subscribe if you want to follow along with my journey
DO NOT BUY THIS TRASH. It synced once with my Amazon music playlist. I wanted to change it up and nothing. It's in brand new condition and was well cared for. I only jogged with it once. What a waste of money!

"3 feet please, it's the law". This sign was ahead of its time haha
😂 Right
Yeah probably best for pedestrians to keep social distancing from vehicles after the pandemic has finished as well
Listening to your favorites while working out is heaven. 💜
Love that!
I wouldn't want a screen either just in case a passer by saw that I was listening to a 'Beastmode' playlist.
LOL How did you know my playlist names !

Yes. Definitely can do that.
Use an aux cable and buy an mp3 player.

Great review. I think I'll stick with listening to my music off of my Garmin.
Thanks Chris! Garmins are so powerful nowadays. When I use the music on mine it really kills the battery 😔

I can listen to music on my garmin watch!? Forerunner 735...

Does this have gapless playback when a new track is introduced?
I'd get one if it was a little bigger & had better battery, as well as a little screen to see what in the actual hell you're navigating through & playing.
Excellent review
Re: Bluetooth connectivity
Did you read the instructions?
It's gotten a bit better but still takes about 2-3 minutes to connect to my headphones.
I have the beats pro wireless-if i was to put that in my pocket and run with it do you think it would disconnect?.If so do you use another mp3 player you could recommend?Thanks

Playlist are on there and you don't have to reload them each time.
do I have to have it always connected to my phone or will it work if I just turn it on if I dont have my phone
It work without the phone. You just need the phone to set it up, sync with your music, and make that first connection to your Bluetooth earbuds.
If I were to take it on a trip without a phone (let’s say sleepaway camp) and I just downloaded the songs and left with the charger would I work?
Yup once downloaded it's on there. No need for phone after that.

I feel lucky since I don't listen to music on the run a lot so I have no need for headphones or a music player.
For my runs no music but for my gym workouts music are a must. My gym loves to play love songs and I can't lift heavy to endless love. 😂
If i have the cracked spotify premium on android will it connect to this device?
Can I use Plex on it?
I don't think so. SPotify and amazon are were the only two when I reviewed this.

Yup can't argue with anything you said. I have a vivoactive 4 with music and it works much better than this.
What other music player would you suggest if you only have an iPhone but no computer to download music...? If anything else exists I'll buy it!
@@dawnmcfarland7011 get a garmin watch with music. Vivoactive 3 music would work for ya.
@@GokuRunner you're saying your $350 smartwatch is better than this $80 device?

YUp. Get teh amazon prime
How do I remove playlist?
is there a way to listen to music without spending money
Nope
It's called a radio😃
