Mighty Vibe Spotify and Amazon Music Player - Bluetooth & Wired Headphones - 1,000+ Song Storage - No Phone Needed Digital Audio Player - Blue

It’s the PERFECT gift for parents that want to give their children the independence of listening to their own playlists without providing them with a phone or tablet which is something we believe, at 8 year’s old, our daughter is not yet old enough for.It was simple enough to set up. I set up an account for my daughter on Spotify family then downloaded the app for the ‘Mighty Vibe’ device, I then synced to Spotify (once I’d chosen a few albums and playlists from Spotify to start her off with). When the time comes for her to choose more songs/albums we can add to her Spotify playlist on our phone/computer then sync with the app. It’s a GREAT modern day Walkman without having to actually buy and/or record albums. We bought it as it works with Spotify (and Apple Music although we don’t use it).It’s not the cheapest gift for sure - and we could have just given her one of our old phones, but this is perfect until she’s older. We’re a dying breed, but for those parents that don’t want to stick a ‘device’ in their kids’ hands at an early age then this IS the gift for them to choose and listen to their music choices.One downside is it could do with a small screen so you can see what you’re playing or to choose tracks - but maybe this is the beauty of it. We didn’t have that with our Walkman back in the day and I’d like to think we managed through life quite happily! You can play your albums’ track’s sequentially or on shuffle.Also worth noting is it’s very small - slightly bigger than the old iPod shuffle - but not much.ALSO - if you go to the gym, running etc it’s perfect to enjoy your music whilst keeping away from the distractions of a phone leaving you to focus on your exercise.All in all - a great bit of kit.

I bought this for my 10 year old’s birthday as she loves listening to music but I’m avoiding a screen for as many years as possible. This seemed like the perfect thing and so far it hasn’t disappointed. The linking through the app and Spotify is straightforward and it works as it should. The only negative is the battery life which lasts for a few hours before needing a recharge but this is manageable at the moment - we’ll see what happens over time!All in all am excelllent product. I’m surprised there aren’t more alternatives like this on the market but any other gadgets have internet/app connectivity which I was keen to avoid.

Intuitive controls. The bluetooth connection glitches sometimes, which effects the sound quality. Set up took longer than expected but was a very straightforward process

I've had this for a few months now and, although I like the idea of having something that's not dependant on the Apple ecosystem, I am finding this takes more time and effort to keep working than I'd like. The battery life is not good - it needs charging every other time I go to the gym and it goes for less than a month before refusing to play unless you sync it with your phone again (a faff that requires both products to be on WiFi and is therefore not feasible if you're already at the gym). Of note, it does not warn you when it needs syncing (e.g. by letting you know it will play now but not again or by sending a notification to your phone) it will just refuse to play at some point.

The idea of it is great but the accompanying app is buggy and not user friendly. I find that this device doesn't utilize its bluetooth software as well as it should. It very rarely is visible on the mighty app and is difficult to pair to other devices. You have to be conntected to a wifi network in order to pair the device which isn't ideal. When you manage to add playlists to the device, it does work well and sounds great. I wouldn't recommend this device to anyone. The app needs to serious work to be made more user friendly.

I have just used this for the first time today and so far its performance has been faultless.It is super lightweight and you can barely feel it. I am a runner and just clipped it to the zip of my jacket and it was very unobtrusive. I don't understand the review about the clip not being strong enough for sports. My holds really well with no bounce.I would definitely recommend and it beats running with a phone.It is worth noting that it has three music quality settings so if you are an audiophile make sure you select the right one.My only wish is that it would allow you to listen to audio books too.
