  Are these ear buds better than xiaomi piston 2s? I like a lot of bass but don't want a lot of leakage...basically I want good isolation.  Which one should I go with and should I go with r1m or s1?

Neither! Get the B2M. It's pretty awesome.

Under 20 bucks eh? I would start looking into Knowledge Zenith (KZ stuff). EDse, ED8, ED9, etc. All those are generally around the 10 dollar mark, and bat way above their price point in both price and build quality.

I also just got the SUR s530 a few days ago. I haven't put a ton of time into them yet, but they are pretty sweet so far. Their bass output is just massive.....absolutely massive. It gets a little tiring, but man are they fun.

The S1s look like a budget deal. Might try them.

 

[MUSICCURE]

I bought the S1 back in December and still use it daily with a DX50/C&C BH2. My next iem will definitely be a dual dynamic. I might just by another S1 as back up since I use them so much.

Just bought them off a fellow member and am impressed! Based on a previous post, the shure tips for the e2c should fit but I wanted to confirm this...

Grabbed a pair of these over the weekend, and it sounded pretty weak on my iPhone, which was the main purpose I purchased them. After popping these into an amplifier, the entire experience changed, and they became something absolutely phenomenal with absolutely everything hitting the mark, especially the bass, which truly pushed my listening experience to the next level. Guess I need to get a cheap mobile amplifier. Sad, that I was told this could shine without an amplifier, but no way am i returning them after I heard what they have to offer.
 
What's a good cheap amplifier which will compliment these for mobile use (something which can obviously travel in my pocket or something similar)?

I've got the Topping NX1. Pretty cheap and they pair well, though something a little warmer sounding might be even better.

Those seem to be a good buy, sadly not available in my country.
 
How is the Fiio E6. They OK for this job, because they seem like to go to cheap amplifier on Head-Fi.

I bought a pair of these nearly 12 months ago. Not into iems so much these days, but I really like these little bass cannons. Sold or given away a bunch of 'phones and in ears over the last year, but these are keepers, despite being among the cheapest. Was using Sony MDR XB950BT for out and about as wireless is so convenient, but the bass quality got to me in the end. I sold the Sonys and am going back to these Narmoos with a double stack (Sony Xperia Z Ultra + Onkyo HA200) for walking the dog and other portable duties. They do like plenty of power, but apart from a touch of grain and softer, slightly rolled off treble they're not far off the Sony XBA H3 from memory. Sadly I lost the XBA H3, but the S1 eased the pain. Bass is reasonably tight and impact is very good. Drums sound fantastic.

Sold Out at Amazon and their website..where else could I find these?
