Havi B3 Pro-1 Impressions Thread

Sep 9, 2014 at 10:07 AM Post #2,327 of 4,032
That was a hell of a lunch hour, I have to say, I am extremely impressed. 
 
My Phonak Audeo were around £90 and at the time I found them to be very good. Now they seem veiled and muddy when compared to the Havi which only cost me £40! 
 
As all the reviews mention, the soundstage and instrument separation is superb. I was hearing things like little kick drums in the background that I had never heard before.
 
I am going to have a struggle with tips. I want to use the comply because they isolate the best, which I prefer. BUT, the senn doubles and the white single flange do give a much better soundstage.
 
On the bass front I am perfectly happy, I think as long as the tip gets a good seal the bass is enough without getting in the way of the loooooovely mids. 
 
Absolute bargain & much looking forward to hearing them after burn in, I'm am seriously glad I stumbled upon this thread.

It might cost 300,but that is wishful thinking.

I had a short email exchange with Cayin last night, they are hinting at release date of either end of October or beginning of November.  I kind of got an impression the design is not finalized yet, because they mentioned about pictures we are seeing floating around and them trying to get a feedback if people like the design.  Someone else mentioned a price of $300 to $350, not sure where they got it from or if that was just a speculation.  But considering we are not talking about touch screen, and the price of their C5 amp - that sounds reasonable.
 
X1 is still a fun bargain for under $100, and you can always "upgrade" it by switching to LO output and using different external amps.  Or perhaps, wait until November when someone will review N6.

But what I am wondering is:
How it sounds?
Compatibility with B3?
Durability?
User friendly?
Firmware bugs?
