  The price is in local currency, but as a reference, the price of i57 (Rp 118,000) is about US$ 10. In Indonesia usually the price displayed is already tax inclusive. Local shipping is about less than US$ 1 in here.

Those headphones are too cheap to have fake ones, but it's weird to think those 10$ headphones can be same league with Havi B3 Pro (60$), which eventually beats some headphones at much higher price.
 
@peter123: Where is your friend's review in discovery thread?

Here's the link for the review:

I see no reason that the ones that nino9 has found should not be legit. If they were €12 in Taiwan they could very well be $10 in Indonesia.

They're a classical v-shape so they are not so special as the B3 but they're very well put together on all accounts and I enjoy them as much. The bass is strong in them :wink:

I've read the thread but I'm still not convinced between Takstar pro80 and Don Scorpio Dolphin. For those who own them, can you share pros and cons? Now, after you've owned them for a good while, I think your opinion is more settled. How about the ear cup size and comfort?

Please note that all my impressions on the Pro80 is with the HM5 pads.

Comfort is great on both, the pads on the Pro80 is a bit wider than on the Dolphin's so there's a bit more space there.

Both isolate very well with a slight advantage to the Dolphin's.

Both have pretty high clamping force.

Sound wise the main difference is that the Pro80 has a wider soundstage while the Dolphin's have better sub bass.

I still feel like the Dolphin's has a more refined and smoother sound all over.

They're both very good headphones.I wouldn't consider the Pro80 portable though due to the coiled cord mainly.

I don't have the time to do a full a-b in the near future but if there's some specific things you'd like to know I'll do my best to answer.

Thanks for the answer. Sound wise, from what you say, I may prefer the Dolphin due to the sub bass. I also prefer the looks of the Dolphin, but I was worried about the comfort, as they seem smaller than Pro80. So if I'll get the Pro80, I need other pads...guess I should just go with the Dolphin.
On penonaudio they cost $99, but buying them from the taobao Don Scorpio with mistertao, the white version comes at a final $67 and it's a big difference. I would prefer the blue ones, but at price I'm tempted on the white ones.

I'm interested in the white dolphin too, but not sure why is it cheaper than the blue one. The white one only had 1 transaction when the blue one had 14, and I have never bought anything from taobao with such low transaction. Wonder if anyone can help translate the info on the image of the white one, here is the link  http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w5003-962088129.16.wjcGwP&id=35716701237&scene=taobao_shop
 
@peter123: How do you think of the speed of the Dolphin ? Do you think it is fast enough for music like metal or rock, and how is the clarity and texture compare to TS Pro 80 ?
