INTRODUCTION

   Listening to music is perhaps the only thing that keeps me going either when I’m on the treadmill and ready to give up or while using our somewhat overcrowded public transportation to reach my destination (fortunately that's a very rare thing for me). Unfortunately however as many of you have pointed out over the years there aren't really that many affordable wireless headsets out in the market worth getting your hands on whether that's due to mediocre audio clarity, low batter life, build quality and/or design. HAVIT may not be the first name that comes to mind when out in the market looking for a wireless headset but since to date all of their products to have made it here were quite balanced (price/performance) we decided to take a closer look at their latest i18 Ultra Comfortable Wireless Headphones.

   HAVIT, since 1998, is the global professional brand of PC and mobile terminal peripheral; it is the national A custom enterprise, the enterprise with independent international brand that is key cultivated and developed by Guangzhou government. Its business covers brand operation, import and export trade, cross-border E-commerce and supply chain service. The sales network evolves more than 80 countries and regions. Except that, it establishes branch office for marketing in Miami, America. It becomes specialized manufacture of many international brands and supplier of chain groups. In recent years, HAVIT has fully entered into new channel and industrial field such as cross-border E-commerce, mobile terminal, Borlee 3D printing. Under the promotion of remarkable achievements, the influence of its brand has become bigger and bigger, in future; HAVIT will continue to strive for more excellent achievements. Enjoy what I have!

   The i18 by HAVIT is clearly aimed towards people who are looking for a compact Bluetooth headset (weighs just 188g) made out of durable materials like aluminum (much like the REVO wireless by Jabra). Under the hood of the i18 we find two 40mm dynamic stereo neodymium drivers (frequency response of 20Hz-20KHz with 103+-3dB sensitivity and 32 Ohm impedance), Qualcomm's CSR8635 QFN single-chip mid-end Bluetooth audio ROM device (Bluetooth v4.1 with support for HFP v1.6, AVRCP v1.4, A2DP v1.2, DI v1.3 and HSP v1.2), noise-cancelling microphone and a 500mAh lithium-polymer rechargeable battery pack which according to HAVIT can last for up to 22 hours of play time and 25 hours of talk time. Just like with most products of its class the i18 can connect/pair wirelessly with up to two devices simultenously and can also be used in wired mode via its 3.5mm jack.
