Xiaomi Piston 3 (2015)
I hate the new headset controls. It's near impossible to find the buttons without looking (which is awkward to do when it is so close to your face).- DeadMan

Xiaomi Pistons 3.0 Impressions Thread
That was me and yes. They suck. I gave them away. I have just received the P3's and am testing them as I type. The mids are a little disconcerting but perhaps that is due to the V shape of the P2's that I was used to. The biggest annoyance is the location of the mic/controller. Way too close to...- DeadMan

Xiaomi Piston 3 (2015)
Does the iPhone support mean they are dropping Android 3 button support? Also improved bass response sounds a bit iffy. I find the v2's far too bass heavy already if that is what they mean.- DeadMan

FiiO Mont Blanc/E12 portable headphone amp, 880mW, slim design, full metal case. Bass boost and Cross feed!
Any alternatives? If the E12 did not make any noise when connected via USB to a PC I would use that but I am put off by that possibility.- DeadMan

FiiO Mont Blanc/E12 portable headphone amp, 880mW, slim design, full metal case. Bass boost and Cross feed!
Why is there no desktop equivalent (so I can plug into USB) without any annoying noise? I want the crosstalk/bass boost features etc and a balanced volume control with no noise whilst being powered. I don't need any battery nonsense.- DeadMan

RockJaw Alfa Genus - Reviews, Impressions Thread
Has anyone got an FR of the champagne filters? I currently have some Xiaomi Piston v2's but I find they have too much bass for my tastes. I'm curious to know if these are better overall.- DeadMan

Philips Fidelio X2 : A Review by Baycode
Yeah my tinnitus is in my left ear mainly and it's the left ear that gives me the most trouble with distorted sound. If you have tinnitus it's hearing damage regardless of what the ENT graphs say. Basically it's efferent noise caused by hair like structures in the inner ear being flattened...- DeadMan

Philips Fidelio X2 : A Review by Baycode
Do you get this on any other headphones? If so then you may have some hearing damage or just general loss of hearing in the upper frequencies (age?). I have damaged hearing myself (also constant tinnitus) and I find high frequencies tend to sound grainy/fizzy/sibilant. and mids can be painful...- DeadMan

Xiaomi 1more Design classic earbuds quick review
General overview and initial impressions of looks. I will make this very short because I really don't feel it is worth spending the time on these. I ordered these from iBuyGou.com on the basis that I liked the Xiaomi Pistons v2.1 IEM's. They had great overall sound...- DeadMan
