What owners say about the Mivi Fort S60

Based on 100 owners sharing their experience in online comments

16%positive2%mixed82%negative

Owners praise the sound and bass, while weak output, recurring hardware failures, and poor warranty support fuel widespread frustration.

What owners dislike

  • Owners say warranty claims take weeks, replies are slow or missing, and there is no local service centre, so repairs are hard to get.16
  • Some owners report early failures: a burnt smell, a dead woofer or speaker, a burnt motherboard, and excessive heat from inside the unit.16
  • Owners say maximum volume is lower than expected, especially over Bluetooth from a TV, and the sound drops noticeably when switching modes.9
  • Owners hear crackling or distortion, mainly at full volume or on low bass, and some report a grainy white noise.8
  • Owners say sound over the aux cable is much weaker and lower in quality than over Bluetooth.6
  • Owners say bass is weak or barely felt, and what there is sounds thumpy mid-bass rather than deep bass.5
  • Owners say dialogue is hard to hear in music mode and clarity is average, so they switch to news mode for speech.5
  • Some owners cannot get sound from their TV, with no output over RCA, aux or HDMI ARC on Mi and Redmi sets.5
  • Owners say it always starts on Bluetooth, so they must switch to aux with the remote each time the TV or soundbar turns on.5
  • Owners report Bluetooth dropping and reconnecting by itself, a delay of about one second when used with a TV, and failure to pair while charging.5

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Mivi Fort S60

  • Excellent value for money at its budget price point
  • Strong bass performance for a compact unit due to two in-built subwoofers
  • Clear vocals and dialogue, especially when using the dedicated 'News' EQ mode
  • Sleek and aesthetic design with a metallic front grill
  • Multiple connectivity options including Bluetooth 5.0, Aux, USB, and Coaxial
  • Quick and stable Bluetooth pairing with minimal lag

What customers don't like about Mivi Fort S60

  • No HDMI ARC or eARC support, which limits integration with some modern TVs
  • Audio distortion can occur at maximum volume levels
  • Low build quality of the included remote control
  • Lacks manual bass and treble controls; adjustments must be made via the source device
  • Reports of connectivity failures or errors when attempting to use the USB mode
  • Physical buttons on the unit can be stiff and difficult to press

Verdict

The Mivi Fort S60 is a 2.2-channel soundbar delivering 60W of power through two full-range speakers and two in-built subwoofers for enhanced bass. It features Bluetooth 5.0 with a 10-metre range, alongside physical connectivity options including AUX, USB, and Coaxial inputs. The device offers a sleek, wall-mountable design with a metallic grille and includes three dedicated EQ modes—Music, Movies, and News—accessible via a remote control. Main advantages include its affordable price point, strong build quality, and effective bass performance for its size. However, users have reported minor audio distortion at maximum volume, potential connectivity issues with the USB port, and a remote control with a somewhat plastic feel.
