Built Quality (4/5)

Mivi Fort H120 soundbar offers good quality under 4000 Rs, be it the sound bar, the remote or the subwoofer. The soundbar has a metal mesh on the front and the rest is plastic. The ports on the back are of good quality. Also note that the sound bar has good weight.

Cable quality is nice. Be it the 3.5mm audio cable, adapter wire or the soundbar cable. The subwoofer box is plywood and is hollow (how it is supposed to be). There are no rough edges or uneven cuts to make it sharp in any way.

There are no dedicated ports on the back of the subwoofer. Only one cable will be inserted into the sound bar. The remote is of very good quality. Buttons are strong and have more of a rubber feel than the plastics.

One thing that is not good in our particular sound system is the remote’s back cover. Out of the box, it was cracked. Since my dad is talking to Mivi about it. Whatever happens, we will update it. At the moment, he has kept it in the cover and it’s in use. This doesn’t hinder operations.

So, we would give it 4/5 for build quality. 1 whole is taken for the crack. Otherwise, no complaints.

Mivi Fort H120 Soundbar Looks (4/5)

It’s a good-looking sound system. All black/grey subwoofer with Mivi branding on the front. At the same time, the sound bar has gloss on top. Overall, the combination is good. This look is quite standard on the sound system, hence I can’t say much about it.

But the metal grill on the front does add some reflections and shine, which is a nice thing. Just next to the Mivi branding on the soundbar, you will see 1 LED light which changes color based on the input mode you are listening to. The buttons on the right side of the soundbar have a Carbon Fibre look. It does take the look to the next level.

The remote is also matte grey, and the buttons are Black, making the whole package good-looking. So, for looks, we would give it 4/5.

Mivi Fort H120 Soundbar Features (4.5/5)

#1 120 Watt Home Theater: On a budget of under 5000 Rs, getting your hands on 120 Watts is not easy! Mivi has made it possible and they have worked quite good on the drivers. Here’s the audio quality breakup.

#2 2.1 Channel > 2.0: We said it in the Bot Aavante Bar 610 review and can repeat it that 2.1 is way better than 2.0 if you don’t have space constraints, then only go with 2.0.

#3 Customizable EQ: With the remote, you can customise the Bass and Treble as per your need.

To be honest, the default EQ is a good combination of everything. But if you need more bass (trust me, there’s a lot!) or more treble (at the same level of bass), you can do it! Along with that, you have 3 native modes for movies, music and news.

#4 So Many Input Modes: Unlike 2.0 soundbars that are bound by basics like Bluetooth, aux-in, USB, with this sound system, you get additional coaxial port, Subwoofer port, and one more which I don’t know yet!

#5 Bluetooth 5.3: The Mivi Fort H120 offers Bluetooth 5.3, which is certainly not the immediate latest Bluetooth version, but still far better than the 2.1 in local stores, which are at 5.0!

In terms of features, Mivi has done a great job, and we would give it 4.5/5. You can check Mivi’s website for more details.

Sound Quality (5/5)

This is a very solid sound system under 4000 Rs, period. The output made us go “wow” from the first bass drop. The combination of a soundbar and subwoofer is amazing. As for numbers, we only know the 120-watt output. The watts separation is unknown. So what can you expect?

The default EQ is good for everyday listing. It offers good bass, clear vocals and treble. Nothing over powered anything can you can go hours with the balanced EQ settings.

From the remote, you can increase the bass or treble as per your liking, and the overall sound signature changes.

The bass goes form normal to bass-heavy with enough vocals and thump without much of treble. And the later, flatlines the bass to zero and the treble takes the charge with vocals.

Overall, as per your needs, you can tune the EQ. No,w for the loudness, these can go very loud. And even on max volume, there’s no audio distortion or subwoofer creaking, etc.

One thing to note here about Mivi is the consistent volume based on the different input methods.

Some sound systems lose audio quality in Aux mode. But here, there’s a similar level of loudness in the input methods.

Also, the system has no memory; hence, when you change the bass or treble settings stay the same unless you turn the power off. On the next use, the default EQ is enabled. To sum up, the sound quality, we would give it 5/5. No deductions!

How to Pair Mivi Remote With Mivi Sound System?

Now, the first biggest shock you will get (learning curve-wise) is that remote will not work out of the box.

There are no batteries included, which, surprisingly, some YouTube videos show. Maybe now they have stopped giving? Anyways, you insert the batteries,s and it will still not work. Because some remotes are not paired with the sound system.

This doesn’t mean all the units go through the same. There’s a good chance your unit works after putting in the batteries. If it does not work?

Here’s how to pair the Mivi remote with the Mivi system. You will need to press the power button, volume up, and volume down together.

Press it for about 3 seconds and leave the remote. Since there’s no display, you will have to do the guesswork here. Now, after some time, in about a minute, the remote will start working.

The range of the remote is easily up to 3 meters. But the remote needs to face towards the soundbar to make the change.

The rest of everything is great, and this can be a challenge, and I hope it will help you save the process to opt for exchange or return! It’s not a technical glitch; some devices manually need to pair with the system.

Here, Mivi could have streamlined the process or added a note in the user manual on “How-to” that would have saved the hassle.

After a month of testing, I can surely tell you a lot of things that are nowhere to be seen or read.

The dimensions of the Mivi Fort H120 Subwoofer are 7.11.11 inches (W, B, H). So you can keep it near your wall-mounted TV, and there will be no hindrance. It looks very big in the pictures!

Switching on and off the power is very easy. Plug it in, and it begins searching for the last paired Bluetooth device. It’s automatic; you don’t need to press any button on the soundbar to turn it on.

The initial powering on and connected alerts are quite silent and do not disturb anyone in the same room, even in night.

The supplied cables are good quality and are at least 1.5 meters long. Switching between modes is quite instant, and the same is reflected by the change of the LED light. During Bluetooth mode, it will stay Blue, and while in Aux-in, it turns red.

Along with the increase or decrease (bass or treble), you also have dedicated modes for music, movies, and news. This helps to tune the EQ as needed.

So far, the supplied remote is good-looking, feels nice, and good range. But the remote identifies the buttons pressed that are pointed straight towards the soundbar.

The remote shows a button pressed with light on, but it is not reflected on the soundbar with a beep or tune. So keep an eye on the remote.

Rest, everything is good. And the purpose of buying it and listening to music via LP record with dad is totally enjoyable!
