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.

Should be self explanatory what this is!

I bought & had installed my first custom stereo (with new alarm!) in a vehicle in 15yrs. My last one was stolen & I've been apprehensive since. I just got tired of having an antiquated radio!
Bluetooth profiles supported: A2DP/AVRCP/HFP/OPP
OPINION: WORKS GREAT! Sound quality is good on a call. Poeple on the call could hear me no problem. It sounds like they're by my feet when hearing them talk. No big deal.
Control is great. About the same .5-.75 sec delay from button push before a response as the BH-214. It feels faster though. I had my buddy in the car & I handed him my phone & he was selecting songs & they were playing no problem.
The quality of audio over bluetooth is waaaaay better than I expected. I'm pleasantly surprised there. I can not hear any odd artifacts like compression or digitalization of the sound. I can hear a distinct difference of audio quality when using Pandora though. Pandora sounds almost like AM transmission.
It also works great in USB mode too. If I connect my cable, it charges the phone (pleasant surprise) and reads the ID3 tags. It does NOT read the ID3 tags over BT, but I guess that's a limitation of BT or the supported profiles?
Overall, it's a great accessory for my EVO & I'm using it more for listening to Mp3s than FM! I could get an XM or Nav addon for the Clarion too. The neat thing is, I can setup a destination on the Google Nav & it reads the directions out over BT too. I dig that. Almost makes the nav addon pointless & less expensive by $200!
The only downside to this experiment was that the '94-'96 Impala SS does NOT have the ability to support double din stereos without modification. I had to buy a kit ($170) just to mount the stereo, then spend about 2-3 hours modifying the dash and bezel to fit.
Here you can see some of the epoxy (lower left) & exposed cuts (across top):
Here you can see the extra space on the bottom, but the face needs to swing down some to open/close:

yeah, I rock a Kenwood DNX-9140 In my truck, Love it.
Hey XDA
Just throwing out a review for those of you interested in some quality Bluetooth headphones.
I have had these guys for a week and I've tried them on all sorts of music since I am part of a multi media team for a church. We edit and sample all genres of music so I decided to try these out for our work.
Build quality
They seem to be made with very good materials. I've had several other over the ear headphones that feel very flimsy and cheap; this is not the case with these. The adjustable parts on the headphones are very firm and not loose at all maybe even a bit too firm which I appreciate. The carbon fiber part is a cushion and not plastic which was surprising but not bad by any means.
Fit
The fit on these are excellent. They are snug and feel great. After a while you forget you're wearing them which is a plus since I would wear them for hours at a time. The cushions are very soft and there's just something about them that feels awesome.
Functionality
The Bluetooth part works excellent. Pairing took five seconds. They have never dropped Bluetooth connection on my S3, my MacBook Pro, my wife's iPhone, and a few other phones we tested. Pausing the music and answering calls also worked perfect. Battery lasts quite a while and I love that I can use the aux cable for those devices with no Bluetooth.
Sound
Music on these headphones sounds amazing. I am not a fan of many headphones out there with over killed bass but I do like a decent thump - these babies delivered perfectly! Highs were very clear and crisp, mids were present but didn't give them a muddy sound. Call quality was great as well. The person OK the other end heard me perfectly. Volume on the headphones for call was good. I could hear clearly almost as good as the earpiece on my phone.
Overall I really likes these headphones. They have been great for me with everything I do. I like the case they come in and the face that they are quite portable with their rotatable earpiece. I loved that they charge with USB so that makes it easy wherever I'm at.

Update?
cor4twenty,
It's been a while since you reviewed these BT headphones. Curious how they've held up, if they're still working for you or if you've moved on to something else?
Let me know,
Fred
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??
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!

Hello there,
today a new review from me!
It was time again to find new wireless earphones, this time i checked out the Soundpeats TrueAir2 . You find them for 34,99€ on Amazon.

In the package are the headphones, a charging/transport box combo, and one USB-c cable.
They come powered by the Qualcomm QCC3040 and have Bluetooth 5.2. Two microphones are in every earbud (4 in total) to capture the voice perfectly and filter out environmental noises. The form factor is much like on Apple earpods (see the photos yourself).
They come in a charging case, the charging case uses USB-C to charge itself and then it can charge the headphones 4 times by the inbuild battery. Overall you will get 5hours of playback time. This means 1 full charge plus 4 recharges through the case will give you 5 * 5h = 25h of playback time. Which is pretty nice!
The headphones have a touch control feature, you can simply touch (not press!) the headphone to play/pause etc. your music. Which comes in handy if you don't want to take out your phone. To do so you need to touch them at the logo of the headphones. One tap on the right one will increase the music volume, one tap on the left one will decrease it. Long touch right, next track, long touch left, previous track. Double tap (on both) is play/pause. etc.
Like i said, this works very well. There is also a voice assistant if you press 3 times (no matter which side), but i personally don't like voice control on headphones, but if you like it, it is there for you.
Bluetooth pairing didn't make any issues at all, it was quick and reliable. Just take out the rigt earpiece and start binding, done!
The headphones are a good fit in my ears, i would personally not recommend them for sports, but they should be good for anything else. Overall i think if you want to do sports with wireless headphones you should use another form, the apple like form is a nice fit, but doesn't stay in the ear for jumping around. (Atleast not in my ears )
Sound is very good, i am not audiophile, so i just represent my layman subjective view on this. I am very happy with the sound from this 35€ devices. I did not change any settings and just listened to some online radio and i am fine with the sound.
Overall: Pretty nice headphones for a cheap price! I can definetly recommend them!
They seem very good price point and quality. Nice review!
do you have issue of suppressed sound when using mic on windows 10? it's the only problem for me
