Anyone here care to give other opinions on how these compare to the new Vsonic VS3DS?

Finally got my set of B3's. I know many people say they're better with an amp, but honestly, even without an amp they're very good! A little power hungry sure (iPod Touch 5th Gen volume slider at half), but they sound fantastic!

I would say a powerful DAP is enough. They sound pretty good straight from the FiiO X5. In my case I did not justify adding the E12 for the Havis.

The Havi IMO aren't better than the VSD3S, they're different in many ways, better in some ways and not better in others

Please elaborate? I read Peter's post, but I would like a few more opinions before deciding. So far I'm leaning towards the Havi, because the only comparisons seem to think they are ultimately better.

The two are excellent for their price. What swayed me to get the havi was my personal preference. 
I am not that big on bass. Not to say that the havis are lacking. When the track calls for it, they deliver.
The vsd3/s from consensus have more impact and presence though some say a bit slower.
The mids of the havi though tend to be a bit dry, and a tad thin sounding, but in no way recessed.
Imaging and soundstage are the strengths of the havis, that and its neutral sound.
They do however require an amp to sound their best.. The vsonics are easier to drive.
 
Goodluck picking!

Good results with Havi tied to DX50 / JDS C421 since a tip change.

While I think they sounded great from the Studio V I think switching out the Heir tips to large red core (ones provided) are a better match / fit for me. 



Can trick you into thinking you're listening to a full-size headphones sometimes.

Bro, you're slow!
 
The new sidy sjp800 Is where it's at!
 
It has the same if not better soundstaging than the havis! - Quote from mochill.

Most likely in penon.
 
If mochill can verify, I found this version of the SIDY.

The look of the earphones in a google search actually looks like this.
 
He also states that the new hifiman ES buds have the same if not better staging than the havis.

I'll wait for him to confirm, if it's them this weeks budget can stretch that far. 

Meanwhile, I'm having a hard time deciding between Havi and VSD3S, but they'tre both allocated different sources which complicates things.

I must say, even though I own higher end hybrids and IEM, I still have just as much fun in the lower - mid tier.

Especially recently with all these gems.
