What a cracking track ......me will play this song on Havi for test run and this too ...one me fav

 
@Wokei B3 Pro1 is in my ears while writing this: soundstage depth is excellent! But for this recording soundstage width is lacking. No it is not Havi's fault, record just doesn't provide you the width.

it seems there is some vinyl rip 24-96 , bouncing out there !!

Which track yo talkin bout ?

 

[Baycode]

Any B3 Pro1 user should give this one a try IMO: Poliça "Lay Your Cards Out"     (FLAC whenever possible but Youtube recording is not too bad either...)

  Thank you Guys !!!
 
 
 
H20Fidelity, thanks you for sharing that track, I can even feel a very huge soundstage on my closed full headphones not recognized to have a big soundstage.
Sure on the B3 this track it is going to sound awesome !!
 
 
FLAC 16/44 ?

I missed your question last page.

Yes, 16/44.

Thanks a lot H20Fidelity.
Got it, crystal clear, maybe Wokei is referring to the cracking noise I think they simulate the scratched Vinyl noise on purpose, on the Intro track.
 
 
Hey BayCode Thanks for the thread and for sharing that song !!
Nice music and singer !!

Thats why i mentuion the ckr9s as they have a similar soundstage to what you guys describe!

It just lacks soundstage width to compete against the havis. The depth and height is endless however! *depending on ecordings and source of course.*

Sure, good to know......and yeah,I guess the bass on the ckr9s will be bit stronger and oomphs due to its push-pull confuguration.....than B3s.

Here you go, FKA Twigs...

nothing my toolkit cant extract

 That is one toolkit! Thanks for the Havi recommendation, my Mikros 90 pal.

I want the other earphones to image the same I guess. :/

For example, when a track comes on and you know a sample goes across from left to right channel, (Say an EDM track), with Altone or DN-1000 it's kind of just like this big blob of jelly that rolls past to the other channel or hovers around for a while with no real sense of direction, (but you still make out it's meant to go from left to right). Whereas Havi is more accurate, focused and gives a better understanding of the image. And it does this with many samples while the other two earphones fall behind. 

 
Check out the left/right panning on this song. It is very unique sounding, and really cool on my T1-E and B3 Pro 1. The soundstage of both iems do it justice.
Enjoy

  I have C&C BH here along with C3. (C3/BH)

I can confirm the pairing works well, actually with no switches engaged on BH for me, turning the LF switch on made Havi sound a little off for my tastes. With no switches on the soundstage is wide / mids detailed, I'd actually forgotten how coloured BH sounds after not using one for a while. In my opinion you definitely need an amp if you intend on using Colorfly C3 it simply doesn't have the power to drive these correctly, but sure, sound will come out. Havi even push C&C BH to its test for power, I don't know what others thoughts are but I can max the volume on BH in low gain and not find it uncomfortable.

The power requirements for Havi somewhat remind me of 100ohm ER4S, I don't know what the cable resistance is or where the 32ohm figure came from but I need similar volume on my Studio unit to which I listen ER4S. DX50 has no problem in meduim gain however. High gain with BH there's plenty of juice and I'd be mad to try and max it out.  For owners of C3/BH you will be pleased, sounds more expensive than the actual rigs cost combined.  For some reason I have a gut feeling Topping NX1 will be a better match and might grab one to loan down the road.

 
Right on - thanks for checking out the B3/C3/BH trifecta! I'm really looking forward to them now. They sure are power hungry little beasties - I'm glad the BH can handle them easily on high gain
 
Edit: Btw, can the clip zip power them at all?
 

  I feel like these Havi's have cursed me. When I listen to other IEMs (DN-1000, Altone200) there's something missing, something in the soundstage, the instrument placement and depth isn't the same. While these other earphones might excel in certain areas over Havi they don't have that same instrument positioning and 3D imaging.  

 

Doing it tough right now.....

 
Ha! Now I'm really really looking forward to them!

After some confusion or possibly lost-in-translation issues I finally have gotten a notice saying that Havi + Penon IEM have been shipped.  They said 10-15 working days so it'll be another 3 more weeks before I can make any initial impressions!
