$17.99 - 19.99 VJJB V1(s) vs  $23.99 Xiaomi Piston 3
What will you choose?  It's a tough decision, right? LOL

Piston 3 is single driver right?

Cool. So I expect the comparison? I hope people would love to know that.

 
In short:
 
P3 has more detailed sound. Instrument separation is good.
Mid bass of P3 is very well controlled without spilling into lower mid. Sub bass is presented. Some people may like this kind of sound.
P3 has a bit larger soundstage.
P3 has better build quality. 
P3 has an execellent microphone. It’s the best microphone out there. 
P3 is more durable. I bet it will last longer V1.
 
V1 is more comfortable.
Even though V1 has dual drivers. It has coherent sound. I feel that V1 has a sound that is much closer to the real music than P3. 
V1 is easier to drive.
V1 is less expensive.
 
Isolation is about the same.
Of course, YMMV. 

 
Which one will you choose?

Great concept, but no specs on the DAC , along with almost no room to implement it, is concerning.

By looking at the size of the USB end the DAC+AMP IC is housed inside the USB shell itself or cld be at the remote control end or cld be split.....And it draws the power from the phone as well.
 
edit:>>> The good thing is, if the earpiece doesn't sound good we can cut those and solder a female 3.5mm to connect any IEM of our choice OR if the earphone sounds good and if any break occurs at the USB side in future,we can chop off and always solder a 3.mm male to use as a regular headset.......

Just got most of my order almost at the same time lol. The EX650 in my avatar, Sades SA608 and Mannhas C190.

The main surprise is unexpectedly the black horse, mannhas C190. Can't review in detail yet but it's a phone that kinda remind me of duoza with its almost faultless timbre. At the price this little guy is asking, it's downright a bargain.

I should be able to compare it with piston 3.0 and KZ Ed9 sometimes this month hopefully. But they're facing one hell of a competition.

I did some tips rolling.  Tri flange eartips works really well for me. Now I like Xiaomi Piston 3 a lot.
I also prefer Xiaomi Piston 3 over VJJB V1.

Just an FYI, the Meelectronics a151p 2nd generation is on Massdrop for a lowest price of $34.99 USD. That is an incredible deal for this earphone guys.

If you are looking for reference sound and balanced tuning these are great. Read the reviews and take a look.

$15 USD Mannhas C190 is good IEM but no one talk about it.  That would be interesting if you could compare C190, P3, ED9.

I really like the sound signature of it, tilting to warm without sacrificing the high yet it's not sibilant. Vocal sounds just right without extra oomp that might sounds engaging in the first listen but feels a bit unnatural in the long run.

I can't wait to test them out too!
