  hows the bass and midrange on the b3 pro I?
 
for reference,
i love the gr07 classic bass but the rockit r50 were too light. 
the midrange of the gr07 is thick but rather dry, the r50 were just too thin, couldnt get any emotions out of it (imho) although the clarity is great.
 
how do the B3 Pro I compare to the 2 models? 

 
Both of them are covered in this thread (multiple times), please use the "search this thread" function. If you couldn't find, someone (or me) will help you happily.
 
 
I have finished the Havi B3 Pro1 review in graph form, I will be making the future reviews in this way:

Thanks buddy

    Its been 5 months for me and the little gem is still blowing my mind

Got my B3s in this weekend and finally showing them some love now.

Sorry, that dyslexic lapse was caused by a blown mind. These really are very impressive out of the iPod Video and D-Zero. More impressions to come.

....now to try the vivo xe800 .... Both on same level but the vivo xe800 being a bassier bother

  Hi, currently I have a DT 770 pro 250 ohm and a Havi B3 ordered. I am loving the 770s for watching movies and playing games, but not so much for music. I also work with mixing and was looking for something more neutral and with a bigger soundstage, so I looked at headphones like the Q701/k701/k612, HD 600, etc. But I read the B3 have these qualities. So I am wondering if it would be smarter to save for something like the HD 800 or T1, or are the B3 and a headphone like the q701 not alike at all?

 
Beyerdynamic dt150
 
USED: Yamaha HPH-MT220 Full sized headphones

Maybe the new monoprice reference monitor

Welcome to thread @JoeDoe

Hi guys,
 
Thanks lot for making my wallet lighter by 65 bucks. 

 
I just got my Havi B3 this morning and here's my first 5 minutes impression:
 
Wha.. what is this packaging.... Looks so good it's offensive, it's like.... It looks even better than any smartphone packaging that I've come across.... not to mention the packaging my JVCs came in... Those look awful in comparison
 
Lots of accessories: soft and hard pouches, microfiber cloth, 10 pairs of eartips.. Overkill 
 
Plugged in to my Fiio E17, and started off with this awesome Attack on Titan composition by Hiroyuki Sawano:

And the rest is history... Went to audio heaven and never coming back... (How did you manage to post this, you say? Of course, there is head-fi in audio heaven.) 
 
Seriously, my FXZ200 sounds like muddy crap now...

 
Will try to post something more useful later on. Sorry, I just had to share this experience 

 And Thanks Baycode and everyone else for convincing me to click that order button on lend me ur ears (awesome prompt service even in weekends). Wouldn't even had wished for this sort of gem to exist.
 
These Havi's actually do really well for EDMs as well:

Welcome to the heaven, I mean thread @MousoMachineGun 

 
Listened the the first video, detailed, well layered, clean bass response with huge soundstage.
 
What tips are you using?
 
 
(Have you listened to Infected Mushrooms with these? Also mind blowing!)

@Lorspeaker lol!

Thanks @Baycode  

 
I haven't really tried many for long sessions so I can't comment much on how good each pair sounds. But so far, what I found worked ( at least seals well) were sony hybrid foam (small), the included medium black double flanges, the included clear white mediums, small monster gel tips. The stock tips that was put into the box didn't really work for me. Nor the black foam pair.
(Infected Mushrooms - Army of Mushrooms sound cool with this Havi's as well. Should be even better if it's not Youtube compressed. Listening to them now) 

 
 
Yeah, I really dig the soundstage in these. Have the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro I borrowed from my friend. While the soundstage is big (relative to IEM), it doesn't sound right. Vocals feel like they're not in the center.. Female vocals also sound a bit like tin can, cause of the spike in 3-4 kHz region. I would pick these Havi over that full sized headphone any day.
 
On the other hand, the Havi's deliver lots of details but doesn't sound fatiguing and the soundstage just feels 'right' can make out instruments really well in the 3D space.
 
Btw, I'm finding slight spike in around the 8-9 kHz region, is this normal? Might have to burn them in further..
 
Another song that transports you to another world with these Havi's soundstage:

Listening to these in 16/44.1 flac and volume set at 18 on +12dB Gain on my fiio e17. The black, black background is just wooah. Guess this is the benefit of high impedance?

That grittiness (spike) goes away with burn-in @MousoMachineGun   (if the cause is the drivers only)
 
I have posted this before but here you go:
 
1. Grittiness in high freq (you call this as spike I think) may be record and source dependent.
 
2. Tip selection may also influence the grittiness.
 
There are minor reports on grittiness and how it goes away with burn-in.
 
Please check the Burn-in Periods of Havi B3 text at the bottom of the first post of this thread.  You'll have more than enough information...
 
But also check the situations: 1 and 2

That's because of impedance (32 ohm) and sensitivity (95 dB/mW in real, the information on the cases have to be corrected) IMO. Also serial connection of the drivers (may increase the impedance) and the quality of the drivers effecting this. There is no hiss and I also love that feature!

Thanks Lors, I am trying to do what everybody is doing here, helping each other to share the sheer beauty of good quality audio

 

[MousoMachineGun]

Ah sorry to make you repeat, @Baycode Thanks for the clarification! Will definitely be tip rolling some more
 
Yeah, because usually I get slight hissing from my fxz200 even though the sensitivity was rated at 96dB/mW (16ohm impedance though). So I was just thinking, maybe the higher impedance of the Havi's gets rid of the hiss. (Didn't know the sensitivity was 95dB/mW! No wonder

)
