There is a large clip on the back of the device which can be used to fix the mp3 player to your clothes or bag, the clearly labelled buttons make it easy to skip tracks or change the volume on the go, however if the symbols were embossed you could do it without even looking.

By using the Mighty app you can wirelessly sync your Spotify playlists and play them back offline, it is also compatible with Amazon Music, the rechargeable battery offers 5 hours playback at a time, this might not seem a lot but that is easily a weeks’ worth of workouts.įor a true wireless experience, the Vibe can be connected to Bluetooth headphones as well as regular wired headphones, the Bluetooth function also allows the Vibe to be connected to Bluetooth speakers, great for letting other people skip tunes without gaining access to your photographs, no one wants that. This tiny and light weight mp3 player is just 3.81 x 3.81 x 1.95 cm and weighs only 20g, it comes in Black, Shamrock Green, Gully Blue and Mooshu Red, with a capacity for over 1000 songs on the internal storage, but it doesn’t stop there. The Mighty Vibe takes things back to a simpler time by letting you enjoy the music whilst leaving all other distractions at home.

Then there was the dawn of the smartphone, having everything in one space is highly convenient but it means when I go running now, I also bring my work emails, to do lists and everyone in my contact list with me, it is hard to avoid the temptation of responding to those notification tones. When mp3 players arrived with the ability to store multiple albums it was an absolute game changer, suddenly I could run with my own motivating soundtrack, exercise could be both meditative and fun.

As a kid I had a Discman, remember them? They were super sensitive to skipping, impossible to fit in your pocket and with the meagre ability to play one album at a time, it wasn’t an ideal workout companion.
