We're reviewing new Sony Walkman and FiiO models, so we'll be sure to add those once they've been officially reviewed. We've tested many players from Cowon, FiiO, Sony and more over the years, although the higher-end Astell & Kerns are having a stellar year (or two) and dominating our best lists at every budget – for the moment. Thanks to hands-on testing for each and every one of the products below from our expert listening team, you can rest assured you'll find the ideal music player for the right price.
While smartphones now satisfy most users' demand for on-the-go musical delivery, there are still dozens of dedicated players that can go even further in delivering high-quality audio from your pocket.
The iPod, and latterly the smartphone, may have come to dominate the mainstream market, but there's so much more to discover than those products sporting a piece of half-eaten fruit stamped on the back. I don't know if I'm a big enough fan of Spotify Premium to buy a standalone music player just for listening to music offline, but if you're, say, a runner and you don't want to strap your iPhone or Android phone to your arm, the Mighty could be just the thing you need in your life.Despite the demise of the iPod (Apple waved goodbye to the last remaining model in May 2022), the traditional portable music player has by no means been consigned to the scrapheap. It is water and drop resistant, after all. It's 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.7-inches, made of plastic, comes with a clip and looks durable. You can also use Bluetooth headphones with it as well.įrom what I saw, the build quality is OK for an $80 player. Good for data-tracking junkies.Īnd with iPhones now lacking headphone jacks, you'll be happy to know the Mighty has one.
The app also displays metrics to tell you how often and how long you use your Mighty. Playlists are synced over Wi-Fi through a phone app. Because there's no screen to see what playlist is playing, the music player actually speaks the name of the playlist into your headphones you can even record your own voice for each one if you like.
