Mighty Streams Music Without Needing A Phone

Streaming music is normally associated with using the battery of your smartphone, which can leave you unable to make calls when you need to. A new device has turned up on Kickstarter that will eliminate the need for you to use your mobile device for streaming music and it is called Mighty. The device uses Bluetooth and WiFi and is compatible with Android and iPhone devices. It is able to play music for up to 48 hours without needing an internet connection.

Mighty is very small at 1.5-inches square and is designed to clip onto clothing. It uses Bluetooth tech to connect to wireless headphones but has a port for wired headphones as well. Mighty is specifically signed to use Spotify and you need a Spotify premium account to use the device.

Mighty works in conjunction with an app on your mobile that allows you to sync new playlists to it. After choosing the songs and playlists you want on the might device, the phone isn't needed for playback. Songs are transferred to the device using WiFi. Mighty runs the Android OS, but it lacks a screen to save battery power.

Since the device lacks a screen, you navigate via buttons to access all sync playlists stored on the device. The internal lithium ion battery is good for up to ten hours of playback per charge. The development battery is a 250 mAh unit, but that could change before shipping. Battery life can also be improved as time goes by via software updates. Mighty is on Kickstarter seeking $250,000 and so far it has raised over $169,000 with 23 days to go. A pledge of $79 or more will get you a mighty with shipping estimated for November 2016.
