I would buy for sure! I like to run and hate to take my cell with me for music, I have a iPod for that, but I don't always remember to update the musics like I do on Spotify, so I have to listen boring musics sometimes (this gadget would change this)!
This has the "wow" factor for sure, and the nostalgia is strong. What's truly remarkable is that it's a standalone wearable with a true purpose: it's not designed to assist your smartphone usage. I'd stop short of saying this changes my running or exercise routine, though.
@pupupower I'm a Spotify user, so this would be great for that. I use Runkeeper to track my runs and typically have music playing throughout my whole run. I never, ever look at my phone, it's just to keep me aware of where I am on the road. I start a shuffled Spotify playlist before my run begins and change songs using the headphone cord. This device works for a subway ride, a trip, or similar. The tracking piece is really necessary for exercise, but is obviously out of scope here :). Great work, can't wait to see it in the wild!
@pupupower@samgimbel no worries! Good question ... man i tell yah --- I use pandora and youtube all the time .. I just hate thinking about decisions for leisurely activities ...
@edinvejzovic if other streaming services and audio is what you mean, the answer is yes that is on our roadmap!

This is a great idea, mostly for active use but I can sympathise that while on a run, at the gym or even going snowboarding when my iPhone keeps turning off because it's too cold for the phone to handle, this is a perfect tool. My guess is usually people are mainly subscribed to one main music streaming device so a simple replication for youtube music, Soundcloud, apple music etc would be a great way for them to open the market and keep the product simple.
@rhmcmillan this is absolutely the plan for Mighty! While we're focusing on Spotify for v1 (because we love them and are avid users), we would love to be open to integrate with all music streaming services.

@pupupower That's the way. It's a great idea. Getting Spotify to promote the product with themselves on their app is the next step to surge sales.
@rhmcmillan That's the dream! We know we're small (but Mighty; had to do it) so we're hoping this proven demand will get us some attention!

Oh my gosh we do... my husband runs with his little shuffle as he has a fitbit surge for tracking his stats. This makes me very happy .... I just hope it makes production/delivery for Christmas 2016.
@helencrozier we tried to be both aggressive and realistic with the timeline and we are doing everything we can to make good on that promise. And you being happy is a great thing for us and your husband (happy wife, happy life).

@pupupower husband has lost iPod shuffle charger yet again. It does contain playlists from 1999 so not such a tragedy 😌. Everyone in my family would use this. I love power walking without my phone. You've made me very happy. Good luck!
hi all - i am the head of ops at Mighty. happy to answer any and all questions about Mighty and our Kickstarter campaign! it is a dream come true and an absolute honor to be on Product Hunt.

With smartphones getting bigger and bigger such a small device is perfect for running. In gym though, one could put the smartphone somewhere and use wireless headphones.
@herryeahde that's exactly it! We see smartphones being the new laptop (ie central hub) for this generation and Mighty being a focused gadget in this new smartphone ecosystem.
