HAVIT to Showcase FUXI-H8 Gaming Open-Headphones at IFA 2025

September 1 2025, 05:10
Open headphones are generally preferred for critical listening and home use because of their more natural, spacious sound and enhanced comfort compared to closed-back headphones. Guangzhou HAVIT Technology will expand the concept at IFA 2025 with the preview of its FUXI-H8 gaming headphones, embracing what the company calls an Open-Headphone Stereo (OHS) design - with a large suspended, circular open-back structure and 32mm custom drivers, multiple transmission modes, and other cutting-edge features.
Exhibiting at IFA Berlin 2025 (Booth H5.2-152), HAVIT Technology is showing a new generation of personal audio products, combining next-generation technologies with refined designs - a clear sign of how the company is determined to expand its presence in the global markets. A first in the gaming industry, the FUXI-H8 headphones are a perfect combination of a wide sound field with spatial precision, creating a live listening experience for gamers, thanks in great part to the custom-designed drivers.

This open-back acoustic architecture also minimizes ear pressure and enhances heat dissipation while delivering a wide, natural soundstage, which enhances both comfort and audio realism. A bold statement for HAVIT, the new FUXI-H8 OHS design surprises with its ring-shaped open-back structure and soft, comfortable pads. The breathable ear cushions are made from soft, skin-friendly, and hollow silicone, which helps ensure the headphones remain in place but comfortable during extended gaming sessions, while ears stay dry.
 

Aware that the design could pave the way for a new category that redefines gaming sound, HAVIT integrated a full set of advanced technologies in the FUXI-H8 headphones, starting with integrated head-tracking to enable precise 3D and spatial audio localization and layered audio clarity, essential to deliver real-time, in-game immersion and competitive precision for gamers. The headphones' six-mode connectivity supports multi-platform compatibility — from PC and console to mobile gaming. Directly on the headphones, users can switch between Stereo, Gaming, and Spatial Audio mode to match the exact listening scenario.

Since this is a gaming design, there is a detachable noise-cancelling microphone that allows voice to be heard clearly, regardless of the environment. During the games, the dedicated voice processing will ensure communications with zero delay. And the FUXI-H8 headphones wouldn't be gaming headphones if they also hadn't a dynamic RGB light ring to add visual appeal (for some) and enhance the sense of presence. Fortunately, the lights can be turned off to extend battery life or simply for other non-gaming uses. 

A dedicated advanced transmission technology utilizes wired and wireless modes to significantly reduce latency, ensuring real-time synchronization of game audio and visuals. In the proprietary wireless mode, users can benefit from low-latency and longer battery life - up to 17 hours at 50% volume - using the dedicated USB-C or USB-A dongles. In the standard gaming 2.4GHz mode with the RGB lights turned on, the headphones can still provide up to 12 hours of use (15 hours with no RGB lights and at 50% volume). Otherwise, the FUXI-H8 headphones are ready to connect via 3.5mm audio cable and USB-C or USB-A cables.

The HAVIT FUXI-H8 headphones are also exquisite in the details and materials used, starting with the minimalistic, adjustable headband and internal padding (that many manufacturers of high-end models should take into account). Available in white and black, the new HAVIT design is a good example of the differentiation in the consumer space that we hope will become more frequent from China-based manufacturers.
 

During IFA Berlin 2025, HAVIT will also preview the new SPACE NC02T full-time adaptive active noise cancellation earbuds, powered by AI algorithms. According to the company, the SPACE NC02T earbuds continuously monitor the environment to intelligently adjust suppression levels in real time, with head tracking to accurately recreate sound positioning for Spatial Audio modes. And the SPACE NC02T earbuds are also certified for Hi-Res Audio.

Founded in 1998, Guangzhou HAVIT Technology Co., Ltd. is a global consumer technology brand (HAVIT) with robust R&D expertise and manufacturing capabilities, and a direct-to-consumer strategy through global omnichannel networks covering more than 100 countries.
