She and I both enjoy singing and watching movies. I remember the first time we met, it was a beautiful moment. We would hang out, eat, watch movies, and even sing together. Our first kiss happened in a KTV, which might sound cliché, but in our small county town, KTVs and movie theaters aren't cheap. Once we started living on our own, these activities became less frequent. On one hand, our expenses increased, and on the Other, we got more lazy. It's hard to get up for a weekend morning, but once you're awake, you just want to lie on the sofa in a "Ge You" position, watching movies all day and saving money by buying snacks instead of movie tickets. This is why the living room has become our entertainment center.
Now, let me show you how I created an affordable entertainment setup in my living room. The key is a 60-inch smart speaker. It’s simple—just unpack it, and you’ll find a big head (subwoofer) and a small one (satellite). There's also an accessory box with a lot of stuff inside: two power adapters, an HDMI cable, a remote control, batteries, a recharge card, a Wi-Fi antenna, a 3.5mm-to-RCA cable, a microphone, and instructions.
When I opened the box, I noticed there were quite a few accessories. Two power adapters are used for the main unit and the subwoofer separately. There's also an HDMI cable, a remote controller, some batteries, a recharge card, a Wi-Fi antenna, a 3.5mm-to-RCA cable, a microphone, and of course, the manual. Compared to other friends who have two microphones for karaoke, this model only comes with one. Although it's a bit disappointing, the official store sells additional microphones for 199 yuan, which is a bit pricey, but still worth considering.
Looking at the design of the main unit, it has an elongated oval shape with a fabric front panel and a metal divider in the middle. This makes it look more elegant than just a plain black box. I think adding a metal logo in the center would make it even better.
The back of the main unit has several ports and mounting options. There are wall-mounting holes on the edge, and a ring-shaped bracket for desktop use. Behind the panel, there are over ten interfaces, showing that this speaker is designed to be a central hub for your living room entertainment.
The subwoofer is large and powerful, much bigger than the host unit. It has a single port on the back, a power connector, and a pairing button. It connects wirelessly to the main unit, giving you more flexibility in placement. If your home is spacious, placing the subwoofer near the sofa will enhance the bass experience.
Setting up the 60-inch speaker is straightforward. Just follow the instructions, and since it supports wireless connection, it’s easy to link to your home network. After connecting everything and powering it on, the boot process takes about 13 seconds, which is a bit slow, but not too bad.
Once it's up and running, the interface is user-friendly. The home screen displays the brand logo and Mango TV. The layout includes sections for apps, movies, music, radio, games, and settings. Mango TV has a vast library of content, though many videos require a membership. Fortunately, the package included a 300-yuan membership card, which unlocks a lot of new movies and blockbusters. Using it has made me even lazier—I no longer search online for content; I just rely on the push from the member center.
After activating the membership, all basic video resources are available. I watched "Star Agent: City of a Thousand Stars," and the bass from the subwoofer added a whole new dimension to the experience. While it can’t match a real cinema, it definitely sounds better than the TV’s built-in speakers.
This speaker also has a karaoke function, though it's not very prominent on the interface. Once you find it, it’s easy to use. The interface is similar to a KTV system, making it convenient for casual singing at home. However, it’s not as advanced as a professional KTV setup, but it’s perfect for weekend fun with family or a partner.
Additionally, the speaker can be controlled via a mobile app, which is handy when you’re lying on the couch and don’t feel like getting up for the remote. It also works well as a desktop speaker in a study, where the bass effect is more pronounced due to the smaller space.
In summary, the 60-inch smart speaker offers a great combination of home theater, karaoke, and network box features. It’s cost-effective and suitable for families who want to enjoy movies and songs at home without breaking the bank. While it doesn’t rival professional setups, it’s a solid choice for most households.
