When I received an invitation to tour Mivi’s production facility, I knew I couldn’t pass it up. I’ve always been curious about how compact everyday gadgets come together, and visiting the place where a popular pair of TWS earbuds is built offered the perfect chance to satisfy that curiosity. Mivi, a proudly Indian brand that has grown rapidly in the audio market, produces an impressive volume of earbuds each month. Their latest creation, the SuperPods, inspired my trip from Mumbai to Hyderabad and set the stage for an experience that blended technology, precision, and human craftsmanship.
The factory sits in an unassuming part of the city, but stepping inside reveals a buzzing ecosystem of activity. Everything—from manufacturing to logistics—operates under the same roof. A dedicated storage area houses neatly stacked boxes of speakers, sound systems, and earbuds awaiting distribution. It’s a visual reminder of the company’s scale, but the real fascination began when I stepped onto the production floor.
The focus that day was entirely on SuperPods. The floor stretched out with long, coordinated assembly lines filled with workers moving with practiced rhythm. The earbuds weren’t made in batches with other devices; this dedicated setup allowed me to follow every step of their development in detail.
Each pair of SuperPods starts its journey as a collection of components: tiny batteries, circuit boards, drivers, microphones, and compact outer shells. These pieces arrive at the factory equipped for the meticulous work ahead. The assembly process begins with technicians soldering batteries to the circuit boards. It’s delicate work that demands steady hands and absolute accuracy. One misplaced connection is enough to render an entire unit unusable.
Once the internal electronics are ready, the drivers—responsible for delivering powerful sound—are installed. These miniature components shape the audio performance, and the team handles them with exceptional care. As the earbuds begin to resemble their final form, the left and right units are paired to ensure they communicate flawlessly with one another and with the charging case.
Watching the charging cases come together was equally impressive. Workers fitted batteries, secured the circuitry, and tested the mechanisms that allow the earbuds to charge reliably. Before any unit moves forward, the Bluetooth connection is checked to ensure that both earbuds sync smoothly with the case. What seems like a simple drop-in-and-charge moment for users actually involves a surprisingly complex technical process.
After assembly comes a rigorous testing phase. Every pair undergoes checks for audio consistency, microphone clarity, and wireless stability. Any unit that fails these tests is pulled aside for reinspection or rework. Only the earbuds that pass every checkpoint move to the final stage: packaging. They are cleaned, placed into charging cases, and sealed into Mivi’s branded boxes, ready for customers across the country.
What struck me most during this tour was the dedication of the people behind the product. Hundreds of workers—each trained specifically for their role—contribute to turning individual components into a polished pair of earbuds. Speaking with a supervisor, I learned how much emphasis Mivi places on training to ensure that every team member is comfortable with the detailed demands of the job.
As I walked out of the factory, I found myself appreciating earbuds in a whole new way. A device that fits in the palm of your hand represents hours of human effort and careful engineering. The visit made it clear that behind every compact gadget lies an entire story of coordination, skill, and innovation.
