  The problem I see with Sony is, while they're a great company and their products sound good they deem their devices as 'disposable products'.

Take for example a beautifully made, fantastic sounding NWZ-Z1050 Walkman I have here with me right now. The product sounds absolutely grand, up with the best DAPs I've heard, however being just a few years old the battery has become tired. Yet Sony will not replace or repair the battery, in their opinion, "it has passed it's life span" (in just a few years), they say "replace it with one of our new products" which leaves me searching high and low for a replacement battery I will need to solder and install myself. I do not like those kinds of  business morals.

You will not find a company like FiiO do that to their customers, at least not in just 2-3 years.

 

 
Same deal with play station systems. 2 of my friends had their PS3 dying in just a yr and Sony wouldn't do anything about it. They had to get it fixed locally at a computer repair shop where the shop owner said he gets many PS3 regularly for same type of fixing frequently. He claimed Sony was using inferior parts in them etc. I've still got Cowon D2+ from 2009 and didn't need battery replacement until 2013. I was still getting 8-9 hrs out of single charge(most files @320kbps mp3). On a Cowon forum someone replaced battery with a Nokia battery, so I did the same. There was a time when Sony name meant quality and longevity.
 

Yes , thanks for the description. It doesn't sound right, almost like you were sent the same pair back by accident. It maybe a bad batch . If you can get a refund this time possibly go through Penon Audio, my shop of choice.

Penon Audio is also listed on Havi.hk as their authorized international dealer. I wish I checked that before I ordered with LMUE.

  So far, I have bought 2 sets of the Havi's.  Is there some kind of quality issue with these?  Or, am I just real lucky?  MP4Nation said they found what the issue was but were out of stock atm.  I put them in and they sound like garbage.  Spent the next 45 min - 1 hour tip swapping.  From flanged, comply's triple flanged, small to bowling ball size.  They still sounded awful.  Am I the only one that has had an issue? 

 
Did they tell you what the issue was?

  I use Penon all the time!  They are also "bigbargainonline" at ebay.  Their "free gift" $10.00 earbuds are pretty good.  The only reason I got them from the other place was it was through Amazon and offered 2 day shipping.   I was in a hurry.  I learned now.

Penon has express shipping as well. I got the Havi B3 Pro 1 and VSD3 and New cable from them and express shipping in 3-5 days. I have been emailing them back and forth and their customer service is top notch.

My b3 is waiting for me in the mailbox at home, can't wait for tonight to give them a test run. I really am hoping I can try and compare them to the re262 I had, but memory is fuzzy its been a few months.

Anyone used an audio gd dac/amp with these? I'm going to try them out of 3 sources, iPod touch 2nd gen, HTC one, and pc to audio gd nfb 10se balanced dac/amp, running se obviously. Should be interesting.

No, nothing.  Just they were out of stock.  Looking at Amazon, claims they have plenty.  So, not sure what's going on.  Will let you all know if you are interested.

I got my NFB 15 last monday. Still not plugged any IEM to it. Hopefully, i will try all my headphones on it on weekend

 

[hemipowered007]

Re262 didn't sound great out of it, at 150 ohms. Havi b3 is 50 ohms right? Only way to know is to try it tonight hopefully

No. It's 32 ohms (at least in official specs/box)

Seems like a pretty good deal..
 
Havi B3 Pro One + Topping NX1 portable amplifier:

[jonnyp11]

How does that amp compare to a fiio e11?

Idk how to delete a post (on phone)

Little look on here and varicose actually said it's better, plus it has the pro 1 so I can compare myself and probably sell the worse, I think I'm jumping on this.
