The Mighty 3 is a tiny, clip-on music player that promises distraction-free listening by storing Spotify/Amazon Music offline. After testing it during workouts and runs, here’s the real deal.
PROS: It’s featherlight (seriously, you’ll forget it’s clipped to your shorts) and syncs playlists seamlessly via WiFi—no phone needed once downloaded. The 8-hour battery survived my marathon gym sessions, and the IPX4 rating shrugged off sweat like a champ. Bluetooth pairing with my Beats was mostly flawless, though wired headphones guaranteed zero skips.
CONS: The app can be glitchy—updates sometimes freeze mid-process, forcing frustrating resets. Volume controls didn’t work with my Sony headphones (a known issue). Also, the proprietary charging dongle feels outdated; USB-C would’ve been better.
VERDICT: Perfect for runners/kids who crave simplicity, but tech hiccups and the $125 price tag sting. If you’re patient with syncing quirks, it’s a solid gym buddy. Just don’t expect iPod-level polish.
