  For those of you who aren't reading the Pistons thread, Mochill is saying the new Piston (I call it version "2.1") is better than Fostex TE-05 and that's without burn-in on the Piston.  He said if they improve with burn-in, they could equal the FX850!

First, the Pistons were claimed to be the best sub-$100 iems and beating some more expensive ones, then this "shirt clip 2.1" version emerges that someone said has better highs than that 2.0 version without the clip and now it's beating sub-$200 top iems and close to the $300-400 contenders. Sorry but I'm not buying that hype at all.

+1. It's really hard to believe. Also, not buying the hype.

You can get from kakaku.com via whiterabbitexpress or kakaku's forwarding service, buysmartjapan.  Kakaku has a banner for buysmartjapan.

Thanks but due to customs regulations over here it gets to expensive to buy from Japan

Pistons (2nd version) I still believe are way better than their price. Some here I've seen write how things get hype then there's not more raving about them. They conclude that it must have just been hype. I disagree. For me, if I really like an earphone, I'm going to say what I have to say about it (call it hype if you want to), answer some questions about it, and then I'm done. I may never bring it up again. Why? Well, simply because I'm in enjoyment mode. That doesn't mean I don't hear it the same way that I initially did. But if something changed, I would put that out here too.
 
I haven't read mochill claim on this other Piston, but I doubt it's true ...if that's what he really stated (without trying to be sarcastic).

Its true that pistons are that good

They have some big bass that may be too much for some people, but the newest version Piston fixes the missing treble the ibuygou ones had.
 
To top things off, Xiaomi is now having a presale on a commemorative edition for winning a design award at xiaomi.tmall.com. Same price, no idea if it will be any different.

On the case that Pistons came in, what color is the label for the actual and fake Pistons. What are the ohms and db listed for the fake and genuine pistons?

 

[peter123]

Maybe they ran out of beryllium

Narmoos came today.  out of box they have splendid but messy bass.  lots of slam and impact
should be very promising after burn in. came with great case and two sets of alternative tuning
screw on filters. on sale on amazon, seem like worth trying for sure at intro price. stay tuned.

These arrived a day early... and...
 

 
DAAAAAAAAAAAMN! Do these babies sing with the AG2!!!

 

[Dsnuts]

Yes in deed. They do. Amazingly so.. Commence burn in. Trust that the bass end tightens up a lot with better treble improvement as well. Congrats on the H3.
