Could you please check its cable whether kevlar or not?
I am still afraid of their channel imbalance issues...
How do you check if it is kevlar?
I think the imbalance issue might be due to moisture. I've put them in a box with silica gel to dry them and I will keep them there for a couple of days to make sure they are totally dry, before I try to listen to them.

just investigate them, it is easy to figure if they are rubber.
Just to reaffirm my love for Havi B3 Pro I.
Ugh... I was settled on the GR07 and have just enough money for them. Then I come across the B3... So now I have a dilemma...
1. I grab the B3 now and get an amp for it in a couple of months when I can afford it (sources are Galaxy S3 phone, iPad, PC, really old iPod or maybe Cowon S9).
2. I wait a couple of weeks and see if the B3 go on sale anywhere and grab an amp at the same time.
3. I wait a couple of weeks to see if the B6 gets released and if it requires an amp, etc.
4. I just get the GR07 now, and maybe be able to get the B6 or B3 in a couple of months.
My only real experience with a good IEM is in the RE0. From what I've read of the B3 it seems to be in the same territory, though a little different. Would that be a correct assumption? Also, I'm a newbie - are sales generally a thing during January for headphone outlets?
Why the GR07? Are you very sensitive to treble and sibilance? If yes, these are not for you.
Why the B3P1? Do you like good quantity bass? If yes, these are not for you.
What kind of music do you listen to?
Both GR07 Classic, GR07 Bass Edition, Havi B3 Pro1 are now on sale at LMUE. Amplifier Topping NX1 is now on sale at Shenzenaudio, to go with Havi B3P1. Also recommend Vsonic foam grey small bore tips at Penonaudio (the last at the list searching for "tips") because it adds some sub bass to B3P1.

EDIT: Actually B3P1 is at double sale (that's not suppose to happen i think). First sale from $59 to $54 and second to $48. That's about 18% off the normal price.
Well I loved the RE0 but I want to try something a little bit difference. I wanted something that was still detailed but had slightly more warmth and maybe a touch more bass. That's not to say I like lots of bass. I don't. I didn't even feel like I was missing much bass, if any, with the RE0, I just wanted something a bit different for the sake of experience more than anything. I am categorically not a basshead. I can get the GR07 in Australia for US$105, free shipping. The value for the quality of the piece just seems really good. As far as I know I'm not sensitive to treble. The RE0's treble didn't bother me at all, if that says anything. I loved it, in fact.
Why the B3P1? It just seems fantastic. I like the analytical character it is described as having and the soundstage/separation it's supposed to present.
I have a genuinely eclectic taste in music: metal (extreme and progressive), classical, electronica (mostly IDM), jazz (mainly instrumental - 50s up to modern stuff), progressive rock...
When I visit LMUE the B3P1 is listed as US$72. Penonaudio have it for US$65. If I grab that with the NX1, both outlets having free worldwide shipping, it adds up to just cheaper than the GP07, but it means I have to wait longer for the items since I'm in Australia. I also won't be able to afford to screw around with tips much. I'm on a pretty tight budget and I don't really have many tips lying around. The tips the B3P1 ship with would have to service me for a few weeks. That being said I generally don't have much trouble with tips. I can usually find a pretty good seal with what I'm given.
I have a hard decision to make!
