Well the delivery guy wouldnt accept my refusal of delivery, so I'll just gift the havit g1 to my friend, it is xmas after all

Why don’t you want it ?

Why don’t you want it ?

Because I’ve gonr back to the jabras I read documentation on g1 but did not find any reference to aac. So I’m dubious about thatvplus someone had issues using aac recently in the thread.

I don’t need a second pair of ear buds so I’ll gift it to my friend he won’t be expecting it so that’s fine. It’s not a loss. I’ll have to wait for the spinfits tomorrow first so he gets a good deal.

How much better are the jabras than the havit g1? I read one review that compared the two and it stated that the jabras are another level above the havit and best bang for buck.
Or I could cancel the jabras and keep the havit g1 - tough call

To me the G1 is almost equal to the E8 with a much more stable connection. Have not tried the Jabra. Aac is stated in the specs at Banggood where I bought them but I have no way of veryfing if it’s true

Thank you for feedback. I could try the g1 and see how I feel about it. Anyone know if comply tips work with the havit g1 and if so which ones?

Thanks to the helpful insights on the Havit G1 from this thread!
Had the Havit G1w for a week now, and thought i'd add my thoughts/experiences on it:
- Connection is solid while running; stutters sometimes in crowded areas
- There is a little video/audio lag when watching Youtube on an iPhone 8 (bluetooth 5)
- Tbh I have my doubts on this being bluetooth 5
- Sound is comparable to wired iems in this price range (sony mdr-ex650ap, meze 11), but slightly worse in all categories (bass is muddier, highs are harsher)
- Can't get a tight seal with provided tips; decent but not tight
- All in all, really really impressed at sound quality and overall quality at this price for a TWS

It took me a while to get a good one but it's worth the trouble I think. First I used the M tips and tried to "ram" them in the canal as I do with my Klipsch S4+double-flange, but that took some work and time to get it right and got a bit painful. Then I switched to the L tips and let them sit at the "entrance" of the canal. Easy to do, no pressure on the canal and a really decent seal.

Ah maybe I'll try that, thanks! I kinda like that it's not that tight tho cos I use it mostly for running

It's not bad for running as it's not an "ear canal" seal so you don't get too much of that annoying "thumping" on each foot strike.

Abuot the codec question, there is no AAC or aptX on the Havit G1, I checked with my Nokia 8 running Android 9/Pie.

Interresting. In that case Banggood are lying on their web site where they clearly state aac as a supported codec. Not that it bothers me since the sound is good enough for my use

 

[webvan]

Maybe there's a different version ? Someone found the original crowdfunded version the other day, maybe there would be more details on that page. In any case they sound pretty good to my ears for casual listening

That would be me

All I found were BT Profiles, no mention of aptx or aac

They're not bad for what they are, but you get what you apy for. Also I read a review that mention no aptx and no aac confirmed, however, they said for the price they didn't expect it

 

[webvan]

Thanks for the links. Regardless of the codec I think they sound fine, not as good as the Sony's but arguably better than the 65Ts.

Thanks for checking the codecs and confirmation that the Havit G1 are SBC only. I concur that they sound fine, regardless of the codec.

And interestingly, they show that SBC isn't necessarily plagued by noise artifacts, because the right side noise I hear at very high volume is likely not codec related. If it were SBC-related, it should be audible on both sides. I'd rather think it may be some kind of interference noise, because the right (master) earpiece houses two BT-connections.

It's been a while since I did a full on review of a product. I think the Momentum True Wireless deserved me to change that...

 

[howdy]

Ever so slightly considering buying another MW07 so that I would not have to worry about the 2.5 hour battery life. Seems like a waste of money but these sound so good. I could be totally content with the MW07 and my CIEMs (and my XM2 when needed).

 

[firewatersun]

Coming up to the end of my cutoff for return with the MTW and really want to trade em in for an MW07. Physical buttons are just nicer IMO..

Seems like SQ is at least on par, and they do look so much better...

Has anyone ever consistently got 3.5 hours out of the MW07s?
