E80 sounds good, but it is boring and un-engaging. I gave it to my buddy and it broke after a few months. Got stuck in his drawer, yanked and the cable ripped from the housing.

I love my Havi B3 pro1 old ,so i want something similar in terms of soundstage imaging separation details but with mic if possible (and always below 80 euros).And i have in mind the reviews of twister6 and peter123 for E80.
Do you have any other suggestion?

I think the B3 Pro 1 outperforms the SoundMAGIC E80.
 
Nothing with these requirements comes into my mind, however you could use an adapter (https://www.amazon.de/Belkin-Kopfh%C3%B6rer-Adapter-Mikrofon-Apple-iPhone/dp/B0042YQ4IC) or if you have advanced soldering skills/know someone who does, your Havi could be transformed into an in-ear with remote and microphone.

Oh that is a bummer...but still i will buy them LOL!
I have a very positive experience with E10 and i just love that cable.Also i like that are small and they fit under my helmet when im on my bike.
Do you know if Penonaudio are an authorized resseler?or Amazon.uk?
 
Thanks

It will be an upgrade from the E10 for sure, just not reaching B3 Pro I performance and soundstage.

I am not 100% sure whether Penon is or not (but they're still a very reliable shop), but think Amazon.co.uk is.

Well ill guess i will buy them and then post some opinions on them,although many have already,but what the heck!
 
The main problem i have is that the E10M i bought after 2 weeks broke to side of the mic in the joint where tha cable and mic are connected.Obviously a bad quality control or bad build quality.So im a little woried if the new E80C has same quality control or build issues with the mic.

Interesting review.

 

[Fabi]

  That`s why I underlined gel-superglue - it doesn`t flow through the hole onto driver membrane and "sticks" inside hole. It must be GEL-superglue!
 
 
Try it @ high gain too On modded DX5X I get best result on max gain with lower volume.

Roger that! My bad.

Not too sure, maybe you need check those reviews here

 

[audio123]

  the ONN X5 is better than xduoo x2 ?

personally i feel x2 sounds nicer than x3 so i believe it will sound better than the onn x5(have not tried the onn b4)

 

[crabdog]

Umm that ONN X5 is tempting. I'm getting pretty tired of trying to navigate folders with the XDuoo X2.

Haha Havi is still one of my favourites 2 years on. So far haven't found anything that can even touch the Havi in terms of soundstage.

Had the opportunity to try the E80 last year, felt that it lacked the refinement of even Havi though, so ended up not getting it.
