Anyone know if the KC06s sold on GearBest are genuine? The price seems a little too good to be true... Link is below:   http://www.gearbest.com/earbud-headphones/pp_383528.html

I'll definitely take a look, tysm 

Both look amazing - but they're way out of my price range  Do you have any suggestions for something more affordable, maybe <$50? (IEMs are just as good too)

I wasn't expecting this at all - so thank you so much XD

Tysm  I'll definitely look into some bass-heavy stuff 

Ahhh, I understand  I feel pretty stupid LOL

I guess I learn something new every day  

Hi all,   I haven't dropped by for a couple of years now, so I'm not sure if there's since been an introductory forum that covers how to determine the sound signature of music. I understand what the terms mean (e.g. warm, smooth, treble, bass, neutral), but it's difficult for me to determine...

I do agree with the fact that there are definitely better headphones in the $50 range, but if anything, I feel like the Pistons are far from sloppy... 

The Soundmagic E10 and the TTPOD1 are great pairs of IEM's, but you'd usually have to order them online

Sweet! Hope you enjoy them! 

The build quality of the JVC HA-FX101 did feel a bit underwhelming, but the cable felt pretty solid, so it shouldn't be too big of a problem. They're also cheap enough ($15-20) that if you ever had to replace them, you wouldn't have to spend a fortune doing so. Hope you like 'em if you do decide...

I'm definitely not an expert, but as recommended to me by many users, I think the Xiaomi Piston 2 IEM's would serve as a great budget option. They have solid aluminum housings and a cloth-sheathed cord below the y-split, so I'd expect that to be a plus on durability. The Pistons do have...

I do have experience with the JVC HA-FX101. They have great, punchy bass and are definitely an option if you prefer a pair of IEM's that emphasize that. If you absolutely hate microphonics, I also found that these JVC's had virtually none. They're also relatively cheap and I've seen them in most...

I'm no expert, but when I was searching for an upgrade to my old pair of earbuds, a lot of users recommended the Xiaomi Piston 2 IEM's to me. They've got really great reviews and cost around 25 bucks. http://www.head-fi.org/t/684159/chinese-asian-brand-info-thread-headphones-iems-amps-dacs

Thanks, I've just ordered from there 

Hi all!   I've ordered the Xiaomi Piston 2 from the seller below, and just want to confirm that they're real...    http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Original-Gold-XIAOMI-Piston-Earphone-2-II-Headphone-Headset-Earbud-with-Remote-Mic-For-MI2/1331848155.html   Thanks!     MechanicalAngel

Just to check, these are legitimate Pistons, right?    http://www.xiaomiworld.com/original-xiaomi-piston-earphone-updated-version-brown.html#

Thanks  I just ordered the Pistons, can't wait! 

Thanks! And btw, are there any Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic or Sony earbuds that are similar to the piston or the ttpod? 

Thanks a ton, I'll be sure to check them out 

Something in the middle would probably be great. 

Sound-wise, I'm not looking for anything special. Just a pair of earbuds that are durable, and have decent all-around sound quality. 

I'm looking for something that has decent all-around sound. I'm not looking for anything too special, just something that's durable and works. 

Hi all!    After a bit of research and some help from the users here at Head-Fi, I'm having trouble making a final decision between two in-ear headphones, the RHA MA350 and the Sony MDR-EX37. Which pair seem to be better overall? I'm also open to suggestions under 50 dollars.    Thanks!    ...
