Third-party reviews

What customers like about Mivi Fort S80

  • Punchy bass performance due to dual 2.2 channel inbuilt subwoofers
  • Loud and clear 80W RMS audio output suitable for home theatre experiences
  • Sleek and compact design compared to older models like the S100 and S60
  • Multiple connectivity options including Bluetooth 5.1 and AUX

  • Excellent value for money, often available at a significant budget price point

What customers don't like about Mivi Fort S80

  • Lacks HDMI ARC or eARC support, limiting high-fidelity TV connection options
  • No built-in FM radio or microphone, so it cannot be used for hands-free calling
  • Lacks advanced audio codecs like AAC or Dolby Digital
  • Missing a dedicated smartphone app for advanced sound control
  • Some users reported that the remote requires a hard press or mode switching can be annoying

Verdict

The Mivi Fort S80 is a 2.2 channel soundbar that delivers an 80W RMS power output through two built-in subwoofers and two full-range speakers. Designed with a sleek metallic mesh unibody, it features Bluetooth 5.1, AUX, USB, and coaxial connectivity options for versatile use with TVs and laptops. Key pros include its deep bass performance, budget-friendly pricing, and dedicated EQ modes for movies, music, and news that help create a cinematic audio experience in smaller rooms. However, users have noted some cons, such as the lack of HDMI ARC support, a remote control that may feel low-quality or require hard pressing, and limited surround sound separation compared to high-end systems.
