The discovery thread!

  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.

My Piston 2.0 finally updated on tracking. They are at customs, preparing for shipment to San Francisco. Should have my Piston sometime next week?

The older model is different too. Not the Beryillium driver like the 2.0 gold. The older ones are silver I believe.
I did ask this earlier in the thread, but got no definitive answer. After reading this, I'm guessing I did order the old ones then?

Can anyone give me any impressions on these ones, please?

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

I believe you, but then again, according to Raz, the Brainwavz Delta is a budget world beater. NOT!

i'm sorry my friend, but those are the old ones. You can tell by the single button on the mic. The new design (Version 2.0) has a double button on the mic, and are gold in color. That's silver.

Doh!!

Well, let's hope they can compete with my JVC FX67s. My birthday is coming up soon and I have a twin brother who could do with a nice pair of IEMs. If I really want the 2.0 having heard these, maybe I'll gift them away.

Here's the new version (2.0) on the left (with the beryllium driver) and the older version one with the regular driver on the right.

  So Dunu makes the Piston 2.0? Cool.
 
Based on everyone else getting theirs, I should be getting mine sometime next week (hopefully).

You got a nice list of IEM's, some of which I still have and many I've had, so I definitely look forward to a comparison of the Piston 2.0 and your other IEM's soon?

  The Pistons certainly look interesting..

Buy a pair. They only cost $24.00, and they might end up being that elusive upgrade to your bassos?
