History

1998–2000: Establishment and early development

Havit was established in Guangzhou in 1998, initially developing products for the computer and digital accessory market, including storage media and related peripherals.1 In 2000, the company launched its gaming business, marking the beginning of its long-term involvement in gaming peripherals.1

2001–2012: Manufacturing and technology development

The company established its own supply chain and manufacturing facility in 2001, subsequently expanding production capabilities and participating in international trade exhibitions.1 Following its expansion into mobile accessories, Havit upgraded its factory to a high-tech enterprise in 2012.1

2013–2018: E-commerce and international expansion

Between 2013 and 2014, Havit launched domestic and overseas e-commerce operations on platforms including Amazon, Tmall, and JD.com.1 By 2016, the brand reported coverage across most major world markets.1 In 2018, specific gaming products such as the H2002D headset achieved strong performance on Amazon in markets like Brazil.2

2019–2021: Expansion into specialized audio

In 2019, Havit established HAKII, a separate brand focused on sports and wearable audio, broadening its portfolio beyond traditional headphones and computer peripherals.1 The following year, the company founded an Acoustic Research Center and increased investment in audio R&D, shifting its positioning toward audio technology rather than general accessories manufacturing.1

2022–2024: Brand repositioning

During the early 2020s, Havit expanded its international sales network, reporting strong regional e-commerce sales for products such as projectors in Türkiye.2 In 2023, the company implemented sustainability initiatives, including lower-carbon packaging, and participated in the World Intellectual Property Organization’s global enterprise case program.1 A new brand strategy and localized marketing initiatives were introduced in 2024 to reinforce its identity as a global consumer-technology brand.3

2025–2026: Smart manufacturing and global consumer technology

Recent strategy emphasizes smart audio, gaming, intelligent consumer electronics, and smart manufacturing.1 Havit has reported the development of a 40,000-square-meter smart industrial park in China, with completion targeted around 2026.1 The company has also partnered with esports organizations including Vivo Keyd Stars, Galatasaray Esports, and Beşiktaş Esports.3

Product Portfolio

Havit’s modern product ecosystem is divided into several major categories.

Audio

Audio serves as the core of Havit’s current brand positioning. The range includes wireless headphones, active-noise-cancelling (ANC) headphones, true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds, open-ear earbuds, gaming headsets, Bluetooth speakers, wired headphones, microphones, and bone-conduction wearables.3 Development incorporates technologies such as Adaptive Hybrid ANC, spatial audio, head tracking, and AI-driven acoustic algorithms.3

In the Philippines, the product lineup includes models such as the HELIOS H655BT, LUNA H668BT, EVO H2002D, and NEO TW970.4

Gaming

Gaming remains a central pillar of Havit’s identity, with a portfolio comprising headsets, mice, mechanical keyboards, microphones, and other PC peripherals.3 Products like the H2002D helped establish the brand in the gaming-headset market, while newer families have expanded into multi-mode gaming equipment.2 This category traces its origins to the company’s establishment of a dedicated gaming business in 2000.3

Mobile Accessories

Havit entered the mobile accessory category around 2010, manufacturing products for smartphones, tablets, laptops, and portable devices.3 This segment complements the audio business by targeting mobile-centric consumers.

Smart Life

The Smart Life portfolio extends the brand beyond traditional computer accessories. Depending on the market, this category includes smartwatches and other consumer smart-electronics products.1

Small Home Appliances

More recently, Havit has expanded into small home appliances, positioning itself as a wider smart-lifestyle brand rather than solely an audio or computer-accessory manufacturer.1

Technology and Research

Havit presents R&D and acoustic engineering as central to its identity, stating that it invests approximately 5% of annual revenue in technological R&D.3 The company operates an Acoustic Research Center equipped with professional testing facilities, including anechoic chambers.3

Key areas of technology development include:

  • Active Noise Cancellation: Headphones incorporating Adaptive Hybrid ANC designed to reduce environmental noise.3
  • Spatial Audio: Technologies intended to create immersive, three-dimensional listening experiences.3
  • Head Tracking: R&D focused on enhancing immersive audio through head-tracking integration.3
  • Acoustic Testing: Controlled environments for testing frequency response and audio characteristics, staffed by more than 20 acoustic engineers and experts.3

Havit claims 173 patents and 61 international design awards since 2020; these are company-reported figures.3

Manufacturing

Unlike brands relying exclusively on third-party production, Havit emphasizes in-house manufacturing and supply-chain capabilities. The company established its own factory in 2001 and has since pursued automated, digitally managed production.1 The planned 40,000-square-meter smart industrial park represents a push toward large-scale automation and digitalization.1

Havit also offers OEM/ODM manufacturing services, producing customized products for business partners alongside its own branded goods.3

Global Presence

According to corporate information, Havit operates in more than 110 countries and regions and has served over 100 million consumers.1 The company reports more than 200 brand distributors and partnerships with major retail chains.1

International activities include participation in major consumer-electronics exhibitions such as IFA Berlin, CES, GITEX, Canton Fair, and Hong Kong Electronics Fair to develop distribution and OEM/ODM partnerships.1

Havit in the Philippines

Havit maintains an established consumer presence in the Philippines through a dedicated local operation.4 The official Philippine store offers earphones, headphones, speakers, gaming keyboards, gaming mice, microphones, and smart-life products, covering both general-consumer and gaming-oriented segments.4

The Philippine website lists a contact location in Binondo, Manila, and provides local support, warranty, shipping, returns, and wholesale information.4

Brand Identity

Havit’s branding is anchored by the slogan “Have it, Have fun,” reflecting the philosophy that technology should contribute to enjoyment, creativity, and quality of life.1 The more recent brand expression “Sustainable Fun” combines technology, aesthetics, practicality, and long-term enjoyment.1 The company’s stated mission is to apply innovative technology to empower people to become creators of a better life, with a vision emphasizing intelligent, aesthetically pleasing, and practical products.1

Relationship Between Havit and HAKII

HAKII is a sports-audio brand established by Havit in 2019.1 While Havit covers a broad consumer-electronics portfolio, HAKII is positioned specifically around wearable and sports-oriented audio.1 Products carrying the HAKII name are part of the wider Havit corporate ecosystem but are distinct from standard Havit-branded items.

Market Position

Havit occupies the mass-market to affordable consumer-technology segment, with historical strength in computer accessories, gaming peripherals, and personal audio. Its competitive appeal centers on accessible pricing, large product variety, gaming-oriented designs, wireless audio, feature-rich specifications, international availability, and integrated manufacturing capabilities.3

The company competes as a broad consumer-electronics and peripherals brand rather than solely as an audio manufacturer. Its strategy targets consumers seeking features such as ANC, RGB lighting, wireless connectivity, and mechanical keyboards without entering the premium price tier.

Reputation and Consumer Perception

Internationally, Havit is recognized among consumers seeking budget and mid-range technology accessories, particularly headphones, gaming headsets, keyboards, and mice. The brand’s unusually broad product range means consumers may encounter it variously as an audio, gaming, mobile-accessory, or smart-home company depending on the market.

This breadth provides a large addressable market but distinguishes Havit from companies with specialized reputations in premium audio or high-end gaming. Consequently, it is generally understood as a broad consumer-technology brand with strong audio and gaming heritage.

Business Model

Havit operates through four complementary channels:

  1. Direct-to-consumer retail: Sales via proprietary online stores and regional e-commerce operations.
  2. Distributor network: Partnerships with distributors and retailers across international markets.
  3. E-commerce marketplaces: Operations on Amazon, Tmall, JD.com, and other platforms.1
  4. OEM/ODM manufacturing: Custom product development and manufacturing for business partners.3

This structure allows Havit to function simultaneously as a consumer brand and a technology/manufacturing partner.
