whyeme Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Xiaomi stuff better buy from their own sites. Too many fakes out there
whyeme Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Bro B3, pls share your impressions of the SQ after burn in :)
bigtree Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 the headphones are delivered this afternoon... darn fast delivery! The packaging of these headphones are amazing! Comes with a hard case, draw string bag and 3 ear cushions. Out of the box, these headphones thrashed the german maestro and grado in all aspects. Lost slightly to the Z7. The original ear cushions that comes with it was too small and uncomfortable for me. Switch to the larger pads and..... My only gripe is that the stock cable is too short and the cans is a wee bit heavy. Otherwise HHS! 5D hoot one unit before they change the specs/built of these cans like the pistons.
alvin1118 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Built quality top notch. Full metal frame. Accessories r great, worth every single cents. Sound at first listen bass a bit heavy, high rolled off, mid okay :-)
whyeme Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 haha...bro alvin1118 really enjoy the musics :)
Sunny130y Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I manage to get the new piston in Shanghai last week through a friend who bought online and been using for 1 week now. Good point is the fit is really comfortable and it does not get entangled (love this) Downside - think the piston 2 is slightly better sound wise. The shimmering high is absent from the new piston 3. Anyway still think they are good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
kaydee61624705921 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Got the Xiaomi earphone from the online shop. Very surprised by the sound quality for $19.99. Worth every cent.
snip3r Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Got the Xiaomi earphone from the online shop. Very surprised by the sound quality for $19.99. Worth every cent. It's good for it's price point. That's IT. Those that has a better IEM will know what I mean.
whyeme Posted July 8, 2015 Author Posted July 8, 2015 My limited experience of auditioning IEMs yielded only a few that are to me worth upgrading from the pistons. Its all MY personal preference of SQ, of cos :) Phonak Audeo PFE232 - Best high frequencies ever. Period. Unique Melody Legacy - Most natural voicing. Like good speakers. Sony XBA Z5 - Superb layering.
francis wu Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Think it's also about matching too! I tried the Z5 on my Xplay 3S and it sounded awful! Bass over extended and loose, lack of details and way too warm for my liking. The 2 Gen Piston is way better and the exact opposite of the Z5. IMO and YMMV! Sent from my vivo Xplay3S
kaydee61624705921 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I really wonder how Xiaomi does it at <$20.
SL Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Besides amp/ player matching, the universal IEM fit is very important. I've changed all the earbuds to Comply and they worked beautifully for me
whyeme Posted July 8, 2015 Author Posted July 8, 2015 I heard the Z5 with ibasso dx 90 and the upgraded cable and it was bagus. Comply does not work very well for me. But my pistons are now permanetly permanently clothed in JVC spiral dot eartips. Great fit and SQ
SL Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Hi Wheyme, I've read much about the JVC spiral tips. Where did you buy them?
whyeme Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 Hi Wheyme, I've read much about the JVC spiral tips. Where did you buy them? Friend sold a pair to me. Think u can get at major iem retail stores.
francis wu Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Another good buy.... http://www.gizmochina.com/2015/11/04/xiaomi-launches-premium-99-yuan-earphones/
otagaz Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 it's here.. out of box bass is superb; not as airy/open on piston but more neutral! will let it rip for hours and see what it offers sq wise
whyeme Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 Wah whats dat? Dun look like piston 3. Izzit the new xiaomi hybrid iem?
lordemon Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 please post more reviews regarding the new earpiece, gen 4
TheKremlin Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Hi guys. Just visited Xiaomi SG website. Is this the one that everyone is talking about? Maybe I will get one and try try. Or if there's any bro interested can let me know. Maybe I can help by ordering a few more.
