  ^ You fools has got me pretty hyped on those pistons. LoL
 
Just got my LG QB2s in and they are interesting..................... has more bass/ warmer than i expected. LMAO
 
Sounds pretty similar to the MH1Cs in sound siggy/ presentation but the MH1Cs seems to be more smooth overall. Hmmm.....

I thought the LG QB2's were far more airy and transparent than the bass heavy and lungs congested MH1C. Interesting how different ears hear different peers.

I had ordered refurb Monster Copper iems from Monster at about $130 on a whim, just heard from them today, seems they sold more than they had and they cancelled my order (ticked me off, must say). Now I've got this extra money burning a hole in my to-be-credited account, Maybe I'll go for the OM's…
Seen decent deals on Shure 1840, Unique Melody Customs, also been craving Audeze LCD-2, still gets marked down here and there (though don't know of a deal right now). Koss electrostats are on the radar in the higher end headphone world as well. Can't really get a listen to these, part of the problem. Don't mild experimenting in the mid-priced range, starts to add up when you get to the higher priced spread.
Oh…first world problems! :)

Welp i never said the MH1Cs were airy, bass heavy fo' sho but didn't sound congested to me, though with vent tape mod a lot more clarity comes through cuz the bass is more tamed. Just didn't expect these LG QB2s to sound as warm as i am hearing them that's all. Same went with the MH1Cs cuz the amount of bass it had socked the hell outta' me initially as well.
 
At least these QB2s didn't need like a ENTIRE DAMN WEEK of burn-in to clear up like my 1st st of MH1Cs. LMAO
 
Speaking of MH1Cs i hope i will get a re-cabled set soon......

Seriously, I'd go to onecall.com, and order the OM audio. I guarantee you, you will enjoy them, and they will be a go to IEM. Since I've been using them relentlessly over the last 30 hours, the LF driver has burned in and it's become more well rounded and prominent without being overbearing. I love it!

Background details are so crystal clear on the pistons versus the dnk and the trebles ARE SOMETHING ELSE!!

Mochill has me as psyched for my Piston 2.0 as a fat kid waiting for a easy bake oven on Christmas!!!! :wink:

Only on head-fi can I get made to be excited for a $25.00 IEM as much as a $220 and $150 IEM. lol

Yeah, I just really hope I haven't ordered the older model. Haven't heard back from the seller yet since placing the order.

Ohh yeah I'm using my fiio x3 of testing my iem by the way...the x3 sounds better then my iPod 5.5gen and hsa studio 3anv. :astonished::sunglasses:


I don't need a FiiO X3 (though it would be cool to have one, but $200.00 for a DAP?). My iPod Touch 4 and Sansa are excellent sources with my E11 amp. I'm sure not only the Piston 2.0, but the DUNU and AT will sound choice? Ok... Excitement... Relax! Hehe

The older model is different too. Not the Beryillium driver like the 2.0 gold. The older ones are silver I believe.

Exactly! The older ones are silver, do not have a grill of sorts at the back, and have a regular driver. Something to look out for if you're looking to buy one of these. But if you live here, it's really easy to spot and know the differences since both versions are pretty much rampant. You just have to be a litle more vigilant.

Don't know if it's been mentioned before but according to Raz at mp4nation Dunu is the maker of Piston.....
