Could you please post a link to your Havi B3 that you ordered? Anyway could I contact them somebody to ask if they still stock the Pro version somewhere?

there you go. Just send a message in the comment box when you order. 
 
They contact you by e-mail.

I can't wait either. The DUNU have left Frisco to Seattle, and should be here tomorrow, and the B3 have left mother Russia for the U.S. Full comparison soon.

+1

IEMagnet, we used the same seller for the B3's and asked for the same version so we should have the same ones.

  As it seems that the Havi B3 Professional is (all but) gone, I pulled the trigger on the Xiaomi Pistons 2.0 from ibuygou.com .

 
 
If the Pro version is the better one, why is that the one Havi is getting rid of?

Simple logic. Fun signature $ell$ better than neutral "nothing special" one. Try to sell neutral phones to an EDM ( or whatever) basshead ...
If there were say 5 decent headphones, IEMs etc available, and with an accesible price tag to boot, there would be no head-fi  to begin with - EVER.
 
There is no such thing as perfect cans for every listener and every kind of music - but equally true is the fact that no one needs more than say 5 DECENT pairs.

Maybe the enhance version has the more consumer oriented sound. As a marketing strategy, they might feel this would be the better seller for the general public.

That's a really likely theory. I mean, nowadays everyone likes listening to EDM or stuff like that. The "enhanced" version, as Bhazard stated, is colored and more fun. Now, if you want to take it to the general public, who doesn't want a "fun" headphone? "Neutral" probably sounds a little boring, without much gusto if any.
 
I would also surmise that they're 'recalling' the Pro version and possibly going to release it as a different IEM (I've seen a future B6 and B9 on their website).

Just sayin' :))

I know. Just messin' around, is all.
+10^100 would work.
 
Or...
 
+10^100^1000. Now that is something.

There seem to be at least 2 different Havi B3 casings. One has a grey, inset bevel. The other has a black, protruding bevel.

I see both these pictures on the same product page, but they are clearly different. Perhaps one is pro and the other is enhanced?
