NUX Mighty plug pro poor battery time

[soulstar89]

I bought the NUX Mighty plug pro this to replace my  NUX MLD pre amp pedal. It’s great. Loads of functionality etc etc. Problem I’m getting is it battery only lasts about 1 hour. So just when I get into something it dead. Is this a common thing with this headphone amp? 
 

really kills my flow. So much so as I’m thinking of returning it.

There’s something not right there, I haven’t used mine for long periods of time but I use it regularly and I don’t charge it very often, maybe drop your question here and see what others are saying

Cheers for this.

I'd agree with the above, there must be an issue with the unit.

Complete aside, but how similar does the Mighty Plug in Aguilar mode sound to the MLD preamp in the same setting?
I have the Mighty Plug, love it and particularly their version of the Aguilar Sim, but I was thinking about picking up the MLD too. If it sounds similar I think that will tip it!

sorry for late response I was cycling around London on my Brompton so I was shattered when I got back late. 
 

on the issue I think I’m going to return it. I tried it with the iPhone headphone but not for more than 20mins. I’ve got down time today at home with just editing so I’ll do more testing. 
 

on the difference in sound. I honestly think the MLD pedal was a little more richer in sound and sound less digital. I’m still trying to get a decent tone from the mighty plug pro. It sounds muddy. Brain tells me to lower bass and increase mids but not finding that sweet spot. 
 

If you like the mighty plug pro you will really like the MLD. I think it will shine more on a pedal board rather than a silent practice tool imo. Through a cab is nice tbh. If your amp has an effects loop return then it’s gold.

Sorry to hear you're having to return the Mighty Plug, but thank you for the info on the MLD, sounds like I'll be picking one up in the future.
