    Xiaomi Hybrid IEM Thread (Piston successor)

    Out of the box, I already had preferred them over the original Hybrids. Treble can be a bit shrill with sibilance in some songs, but can be mitigated by inserting the tips deeper for a better seal. Added details in the mids and highs are nice compared to the originals; lows don't hit as hard...

    Xiaomi In-Ear Headphones Pro HD (2 +1 Hybrid)

      This is exactly what I observed lurking the Xiaomi Hybrid thread last year, and now this thread. I didn't like the gen 4s out of the box, but before they broke a few weeks ago I grew to like their sound signature. I guess "brain burn-in" as I've heard some say might be a thing.   It's good...

    Xiaomi In-Ear Headphones Pro HD (2 +1 Hybrid)

    Reading the bad reviews initially discouraged me, but I was pleasantly surprised. Right out of the box, really liking these. Casually putting them on with the stock tips, I too experience the harsher treble, but I simply needed to push the tips in a bit deeper to get a better seal/bass, which...

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    Finally received my ED12s, and I'm enjoying them so far compared to the Xiaomi Hybrids I used previously. Mids and vocals seem to be more forward which is a nice change, as the Hybrids were really dark, and took a while to get used to them. I also ordered the newer Hybrid successor (3 drivers)...

    Hmm, didn't even know that was an option. I wonder how that even affects the shipping system at all. Just did this for another order (the new "gen 5" Xiaomi IEM).   My ED12 already has been shipped out, if I'm to believe DHL. My concern was that the shipping method I picked was listed at 4-5...

    Anyone have experience ordering the ED12 from GearBest? I've waited two weeks since Nov 1, and DHL tracking still has it as "En route to DHL eCommerce Distribution Center" since Nov 2. I bought it with shipping insurance as well. I hope they actually arrive.

    zabunny94 Thanks for the info! I'll check out the ED9. Seems hard to go wrong since these IEMs are really cheap.

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    Is there some sort of comprehensive guide to this brand? I started looking into KZ after I broke my Xiaomi Hybrids, and it's hard to find any comprehensive comparisons between all of KZ's IEMs, since it seems like they release a new one every few months. I'm not entirely sure where to start with...

    Xiaomi Hybrid IEM Thread (Piston successor)

    Interesting to see the relationship between 1MORE and Xiaomi and the potential translations. I did find it strange calling them simply Xiaomi Hybrids since it wasn't really official. Quantie sounds really cool; hope we can get an official release/name in English.

    Xiaomi Hybrid IEM Thread (Piston successor)

    Liking the packaging and overall design of the headphones. Overall really dark out of the box but still pleasing to listen to for $20. Not gonna bank on burn-in fixing everything, and I'd prefer it to be a bit brighter, but still worth the purchase.

    Xiaomi Hybrid IEM Thread (Piston successor)

    Really enjoyed my Pistons 2.1, but lost them. Was looking to get the Pistons 3, but was excited to see that these Hybrids were recently announced. Decided to take on this offer. Heard GearBest is pretty good about selling authentic Xiaomi products.

    Playstation Vita

    I'm pretty excited for it next week... Can't deny that 5-inch OLED plus it's other specs that approach console-quality. Proprietary memory cards suck, and no internal memory is embarrassing(even the 3DS has 2GB onboard), but the new IPs seem promising. Of course it's failing in Japan, but...
