Now, I have to check out those Pro 80's

You should definitely do that, they're really great.

Too bad the cable is not detachable and in general they don't fold/rotate, but for $80 sounds like a great value.

They are a great value. Too big for me on my daily commute though. Pm me if your interested in mine.

Very detailed information, I will add some diy or mod parts of resources

The donscorpio bass color iems on penonaudio look like velodyne vpulse (which is one of joker's buyers guide recommended basshead iems). Anyone know if they're the same?

How am i supposed to order these when they are from china?

 

[peter123]

Well you might want to consider getting them from a Chinese seller

Check the first post of this thread for further information.

I bought them from dx.com. I'll let you know when I get them.
 
The VPulse has been around longer than Don Scorpio as a company. Doubt they are the same.

The Pro 80 is sold as the Gemini HSR-1000 in the US. It can be found for $55. The only thing different, is that the Pro 80 comes with a large briefcase holder. Cool, but unnecessary, as it adds a lot to shipping fees.

So how do we know we actually have the original Havi pro?? I am not complaining, as these sound wonderful! While the somic has a lil more grunt with the bass, these have unbelievable mids. The stereo imaging is ridiculously wide. And the build quality is TOP NOTCH. Im keeping my somics though, because they really hang in there with these at half the cost.

Just got the Havi B3 Pro (old version) in from penonaudio. I totally agree with suzook so far. Also got the Xiaomi Pistons 2.0 as well, but I'll wait another day to bring those out. Back to listening...

Uh, that explains why searching for Takstar Pro 80 brings up identical looking Gemini on amazon   Just for the reference in terms of sound signature, how do these Pro80/HSR1000 compare to other brand name headphones?  It was mentioned before that Pro80 had a better first impression than Dolphin, and that also Dolphin is close to Senns Momentum.  Can we assume that Pro80/HSR1000 will be better than Momentum?  Without a doubt better than M-50, but curious about comparison to Momentum.

IMO...yes better than all those mentioned. Best headphones I have ever heard. Just a bit too big for portable use.

Nice. Its cool to see other people getting a chance to try the old Havi. Let us know what you think.

Introducing the person love child of the JVC FXT90 / MOE SS01, and the Sennheiser IE800... TTPOD (天天动听) T1

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that those rear "vents" aren't actually functional, unlike the D2CA in the IE800.
 
Cute, though. Better looking than the SS01, I'd say. I'm pretty sure the T1 is also made by MOE/Aipon.
