Two weeks ago I was looking to buy a new Bluetooth speaker for my phone on Amazon for under 50 USD, and after a few minutes of browsing around I found this great deal from a company named Havit. I made my order and the speaker was shipped out the same day from their warehouse in China.
Today I received the speaker in the mail in a quite generic looking package, and inside that package there was a nice looking box with the speaker inside. Other than the speaker they included a micro USB cable for charging and audio cable so that you can hook it up to devices which do not have Bluetooth.
The speaker was really easy to connect to my phone, I just had to enable NFC on my phone and place my phone on top of the speaker itself and that’s it. If your phone is not NFC capable you have to hook it up manually, but it’s really easy. Enable Bluetooth, pair the speaker with your phone, and that’s it.
The whole front of the device is covered by a net which protects the two front speakers, and at the bottom of the device the bass is located. The device is made out of rubberized plastic, but a bad part with that is that it collects fingerprints very easily. At the back of the speaker you will find the line in, line out and micro USB -jack and the power switch.
The sound quality of this speaker is actually very good and all the tracks I have played through have been sounding very well overall, but the sound is a bit choppy at 100% volume. That’s the only bad thing I can find really about the sound, other than that the sound is very clear, and the mids and the bass is very good.
Overall this is a very nice speaker, and there is a few minor issues with it but it is nothing big. It is a great little speaker for the price. One thing which would be great is if they would bundle an AC adapter with it, but it is not really necessary.
If you want one, you can order it here:

Havit
I did also buy the same product as you.
The product is extremly cheap for its build quality and audio quality.
The bass isen't really located at the bottom as you say.
I did disasemble it (Great build quality) and find out that it's a ruber pieze moving to the sound pushed by the loud speaker's.
That made this speaker uniqe. There idea is great!
There speaker has great bass because of there idea. Without installing a subwoofer that often takes alot of watts. A can make the battery last half the time that it does without the subwoofer. The speaker is also 100% air tight.
Because of there gaskets and glue. And they also fitted the unit with a oversize battery. That resultats in around 11-12 hour of battery time.
I can only say! Great product Havit. I will buy from you again for sure!
Any idea what the battery is? I need a replacement but its not clear looking at the one I have what the specs are. A 3.7 3000 Ma? Or something else??

This beauty!
The first thing that hit me was the look. In my eyes it was gorgeous! The goodies dosen't stop here gentlemens/ladies. I looked at the "Specs" (Hardware) And i almost got a heart attack. 36$ for a bluetooth speaker this powerful ? nfc,bluetooth,linein,lineout,handset. I ordered it and afterwards i thougt? What piece of crap i must have bought. Later around (1-2 weeks) I got a big packetage in my mailbox, I was suprised i forgotten what i ordered. I looked at the packetage and was like. Havit it says? Then it come clear to me. Its the bluetooth speaker!
I rushed in to the house and took my pocket knife and opened it. And inside that ugly packetage (not bad but a packetage dosen't really look good)
I opend it with faith and love and found out that inside that ugly packetage. It was a gorgeous box. I got stunned. I took a glass of water to chill down for a secound. After that i looked future. Even my cat loved it (I supose). I opend the box and was happy to find out it come's with a Set of manuals,A aux cable and a Micro usb to charge it with (Micro usb to usb). The speaker inside the fantastic box was even more fantastic. I hooked it up very easily with nfc. (If you have bluetooth you will need to hook it up manually You'st go into bluetooth settings and pair the device)
The speaker was alredy charged when i got it. I played a sound (Skrillex-Recess) And i found out it had very loud clear sounding audio.
With alot of bass tones and it was overall really good looking and good playing. I tested the battery and it amazing lasted for 11 hours.
That's really really good for a bluetooth speaker.
Thats my story of the Havit HV-SK466BT
Now to the overall.
Good
- Clear sounding audio with heavy bass tones
- Light weight (for it size) to transport
- Good mic for handset
- Good battery time
Bad
- Collects alot of fingerprints
-Feels kinda plastic but robust
I would suggest any people that would like a cheap bluetooth speaker with quality to buy it.
36$ is not alot of money for this quality.
Here are some more pictures taken of the HV-SK466BT
This is my review of the Havit HV-H913BT noise cancelling bluetooth headset - http://www.amazon.com/HV-H913BT-Cancellation-Bluetooth-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B00OUFPJN4
As I don’t own a car or so, I’ve not been using this type of headset for quite some time and therefore I was worried about that it was a product that was not useful for me. However, after sitting down a while I found some perfect uses for this product. One of the scenarios is when I work in front of my computer and need to make a few calls – holding a phone in one hand or using speaker phone while working is far from optimal. So with that said, let’s talk about the actual product.
First of all, the product came in a box that showcased the actual product through a window made out of transparent plastic. The box was kind of hard to open, and I had to rip it apart to get into it. Inside of the box you can find the actual headset, as well as a few accessories and some documents. The accessories bundled with this headset are a docking station, a microUSB cable, a plastic thing to put around your ear as well as some different kind of eartips.
The headset itself is made out of mainly black plastic, and front have a pearl’ish finish to it. There’s a few buttons as well such as a powerbutton (switch), a all-in-one button and volume keys. On the the back of the headset, the actual earpiece is located as well as charging pads.
When it comes to the sound of this product, I must say that I’m certainly pleased. Nobody I’ve made a call with have complained about the sound, nor have I had any issues with the actual sound quality on my end. The sound is clear enough for calls, but listening on music through this headset is not recommended as there’s a lack of details.
The part about this headset that really surprised me, though, is how comfortable it is and how well it stays in the ear. There’s no issues with the comfort at all, and it does not fall out of the ear. However, to get a good fit you might have to try all the different eartips to find the one that works the best for you.
The only complaint I’ve got about this product is related to the actual docking station, as it’s kind of hard to get the headset to charge in it. Some times, I’ve had to adjust the headset quite a bit before it even started to charge and this might be a problem. I think it would be much better if they just went for the ordinary microUSB charging slot, and skipped the docking station completely.
But overall, I must say that this is a product that have really impressed me – mainly due to it being so comfortable and the sound quality in calls. However, it got its drawbacks but they’re just minor and I’m really satisfied with the product.

Unboxing video:
This is a review of a pair of Havit on-ear headphones with bluetooth and nfc: http://www.amazon.com/HV-H2555BT-Bluetooth-Wireless-Hands-free-Streaming/dp/B00UL4F22G
I don't really use headphones very often on the go and therefore I didn't think much about getting any, till Havit reached out to me and asked if I wanted to have a look at one of their pairs of bluetooth headphones. I've now used these for a few days and this is my review of the headphones.
The headphones came in a nice little box made out of thick paper and plastic, with a big window that showcased the actual headphones. Inside the box there was a few information booklets, a microUSB cable, a 3,5mm audiocable as well as the headphones themselves. One thing I should mention already is that this box was much better designed than the one for the bluetooth headset, and it was much easier to pop open as well.
The headphones themselves is made out of plastic and a leather knockoff material for the headband, as well as some metal that holds up the actual earcups. The earcups and the headband are padded and feels really soft, but they did not use memory foam on these as it's regular foam; That is however totally acceptable at this price point, and overall these headphones feel quite comfortable. However, I've got one minor complaint and that is that these headphones leak quite a bit due to that they're a pair of on-ear headphones.
Soundwise they sound quite good, and these headphones have a quite punchy bass that's almost a bit "beats styled" which means that it's a bit boosted. The downside of the bass boost is actually that the sound is not so clear, and they might sound a bit muddy for some people that do not prefer a lot of bass.
The headphones pair easily using bluetooth as well, and if your phone supports NFC you can just hold it towards the NFC logo on one of the earcups and it should pair by itself. This is a really neat feature and it makes it easy to pair these with a new device, and saves some time for new users. The headphones are equipped with touch controlls as well, and they actually work fine but it's easy to activate them by accident.
So overall, this is a quite nice pair of headphones; However, this product isn't free from issues but they're minor compared to how much pros these headphones have - and the price tag is low as well so therefore I really like these.

I was on the lookout for a new pair of earphones as my old pairs broke and as I don’t trust myself with expensive in-ears, I went online and started to look for a new pair to go along with my phone. After a bit of looking, the Somic V4’s instantly caught my eyes as they were similar looking to my old pair (TTPod T1S) and the cable looked great, so I placed an order and have now been properly able to test them out.
The packaging of these earphones is made out cardboard and looks pretty good, and opens up like a book showcasing the earphones. Inside of the packaging you can find some manuals in Chinese, some double-flange ear tips, as well as the earphones themselves. There’s no extra goodies such as a shirt clip or a pouch to store them in, but that’s to be expected for a sub <20 USD pair of earphones.
When it comes to the ear tips of these, I can directly say that they didn’t work out very well for me, and I had to use an older pair of ear-tips from another pair of earphones. The double-flange ear tips didn’t stay in my ears and just made the sound very hollow, but after replacing them I was able to get a perfect seal and the audio turned out to be better than what I expected for 20 USD, but more on that later.
My favorite part of these earphones is the cable, as it gives an illusion of that these earphones cost a lot more than they really do, and I also love the fact that the angled audio jack is very robust and solid. However, the cable also comes with its disadvantages as it tangles up pretty easily and it can easily get annoying if you don’t straighten it out every now and then.
But do they sound any good? Yes, definitely and I really like the sound of these in general. First off, they have some very decent lows, with a deep and quick bass that suits for the type of music that I listen to. When it comes to the mids, they are very detailed and dominant, but they're not overwhelming or exaggerated either, which is just a positive thing. The treble on these is also pretty sharp, but it really doesn’t hurt the ears either and provide a good experience really.
Overall, if you’re on a budget a need a pair of earphones for <20 USD, these are definitely a steal considering that they offer such an amazing value for the money. They both sound good, give an illusion of being more expensive than they really are and they also feel sturdy. Definitely a pair that I can personally recommend and I’m using them as daily drivers with my phone for now!

I bought these because I wanted to use earbuds in classes or while working and just use one earbud inconspicuously. These have worked great, and I like them so much that these are the only earbuds I bother grabbing when leaving the house for most occasions.
A big problem I have had in the past with my corded earbuds is that because I am at school, I am always stuffing my earbuds into my bag, where they get tangled and the cord gets damaged, so most of the time I just get cheap earbuds, because they all end up wearing out eventually.
These earbuds fit perfectly in the charging case, and because the case is so small, I can easily slip it into my pocket or backpack and know that they wont get worn out or damaged from my usage.
The pairing on the Bluetooth can be a little confusing at first, because both of the earbuds can be "in charge" because they both work independently. The best way for me to get them paired was to turn on one, and then once it pairs with my phone, then turn on the other earbud and it will automatically pair with the other one.
The sound quality is pretty good, and they are very good at sound cancelling, so I usually just put in one while in class so that I can still hear when something is going on.
I don't really have a way to compare the battery life with my other devices, but they seemed to last a really long time before they got to low battery and I usually put them in the case pretty frequently between usages and the case charges them well. The case charges by usb-c, which is a plus for me, because that's one less micro USB cord I need in the jungle (in my disorganized charging station), I just need to pop it on to my OnePlus Dash Charger and it charges at regular speed.
Although there is not much bass, the sound is very clear, and you can still hear the lower tones. I assume the lack of bass is a contributing factor to why the battery lasts for so long
One thing that surprised me was that my ears do not go well with normal cup earbuds, I usually have to use the shaped ones without the cups like the Apple or Samsung earbuds. Even when I use small earbud cup sizes, I often have trouble with my earbuds falling out. The design on these earbuds makes you twist them to go in and they actually stay in my ears very well I shook my head side to side, equalized my ears, and went running with them and they didn't come out.
Overall, I think that these earbuds are a great substitute for the apple air pods, and the long battery life along with the included charging case lasts me a good while of listening to music or calling people. Many of my Co workers and Classmates have asked about them and where I got them and I have been recommending them left and right, which is why I thought it would be a good idea to share my thoughts about them here .
Here is the link to the amazon site where I purchased them: https://www.amazon.com/product-revi...=UTF8&filterByStar=five_star&showViewpoints=0
