HAVI B3 Pro-1
« on: June 12, 2014, 03:38:24 AM »

Sound

I think these particular set has either a QA problem or something of the sort, so it might not be fair to judge these based on this particular sample. That said, this sample sounds weird. Very artificial, distant and low-fi. Imbalance issues all over in a weird way. Did not lasted inside my canal too long.

Comfort

Ok, nothing speshul.

Presentation

They look ok.

Price

$60 to $80 it seems.

Overall

This particular set is broken.

Measurements

Frequency Response



Distortion Right



Distortion Left

Thank you Ultrabike. I had a question, how do you get those measurements? Is it a computer program, or what do I need to do to be able to make measurements like you do?

I use a Focusrite 2i2 as the interface. The program I use is REW, though one could use ARTA or other SW stuff.

Huh, looks like some pretty steep rolloff at the top... I do remember people saying these were mids focused, guess they just meant the bass and treble were rolled off. :/

I didn't like these either.  Just weird, like listening to music in a deep but narrow cavern.

Red FR seems pretty accurate of what I am hearing. Mid range is skewed for some reason. Also there is certainly time coherence issue with two drivers.
Wont recommend it to anyone.

Really? I thought they sounded pretty strange. Wonder how poor their QC is? Maybe good sound is hit or miss?
