Apple may have killed off the iPod as people switched to smartphones and streaming services, but it's increasingly clear dedicated portable music players still have a place in the market. Astell & Kern, Sony and Pioneer have all recently launched players for people who don't want to use a phone but still want music on the move, whether playing hi-res downloads or listening to lossless streams.
Mighty is the oddly-named new portable music player looking to combine the best of both worlds, as the first portable device that can play Spotify on the move without the use of a smartphone. You’ll need an Android or iOS device to set it up at home, but after that you can go running or to the gym sans smartphone.
You can use a pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones with the device thanks to built in Bluetooth 4.0 and the internal battery claims to last five hours. The team behind Mighty says they’re working on an update to allow for 10 hours of playback time.
