I'm surprised to see the Carbo Tenores aren't here, they're a surprisingly nice headphone! Similar level of value you find in the Piston, but more of a balanced (slightly dark) sound. Great when it comes to comfort as well.

when it comes to zero audio products the first thing i picture in my mind is a flimsy built pair that sounds amazing. Thin micrphonic cable and driver flexing.

I still remember when the majority opinion on Head-Fi was that you can't get a worthwhile earphone for under $50. How things change...
 

 
Buuuut, back then people "in the know" just grabbed a Cyclone PR1 Pro.

Agree, would love to see a Zero Audio product reviewed

After trying about 10 small straight-housing IEMs, the expired Maximo iMetal IM-590 blows them all to $&%^ (IMO). The thing is, one driver has died. I'm assuming it's a short out somewhere in the wire that leads to the driver, as is normally the case for this problem in the headphone world.  Is there anybody who can recommend some place that can repair IEM cables? Thanks

Another great review Joker! :) The Piston 3 are a great inexpensive in-ear indeed. Alongside the KZ ED10, it's the best 8 bucks (I got a good deal) I've spent in portable audio.


Omg tell me where you got them pls. I want some piston 3 love too xD

Flimsy? What do you do with your earphones?

I've had my Tenores for nearly 3 years and they haven't missed a beat, quite literally. I find them to be very good build quality actually.
