Thanks, I will definitely try the Pistons then. By the way, would I be right in concluding from your answer that 8320 vs Pistons3 signature differences would be a bit like re400 vs Gr07?
Should be the next one posted on THL
The Piston 3 is kind of the opposite of the 8320 when it comes to relatively balanced IEMs. The 8320 is much more mid-centric and has slightly rolled-off deep bass and not real bright highs. The Piston 3 is... none of those things, really. I do think the Piston is the better earphone, but it's not at all a straight-shot upgrade from the 8320 due to how differently it is tuned.
I can't really think of a straight 8320 upgrade within budget - most things are either more v-shaped like the Piston 3, or just a lot bassier. Closest thing is probably the VSonic R02 Silver, and that's 2x the price of the Piston 3 and lacks the remote. The Piston is just a killer value - definitely worth a shot if you don't think you will hate its sound sig.
