    CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

    I'm also in the market for some bluetooth headphones to use while running. Currently have some wired ones and they keep falling out of my ears even when I'm just walking, but the wire is also annoying. I love my bluetooth headphones so naturally I'd like some bluetooth IEMs too. Currently I'm...

    Xiaomi Pistons 3.0 Impressions Thread

    Yeah those are the exact ones I have, my ears are pretty small though so I use the smallest one.

    Xiaomi Pistons 3.0 Impressions Thread

    I had the same issue with the default eartips, but with the fake Sony hybrids they fit much better and don't fall out anymore while walking.

    Xiaomi Piston 3 (2015)

    Somewhere in the beginning in one of these Piston threads somebody linked this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-Pairs-Hybrid-Replacement-Ear-Tip-Headsets-Earbuds-For-Sony-XBA-MDR-DR-Series-/311167794103 I wasn't able to find this listing through Ebay's search system myself, nor was I able to find any...

    Xiaomi Pistons 3.0 Impressions Thread

    I guess I'm not used to having a ton of bass in headphones/IEM's. I actually have somewhat of a frankenstein setup here right now with a car sub to play with in combination with my HS80M's :P

    Xiaomi Pistons 3.0 Impressions Thread

    I got my Piston 3.0's in a couple of hours ago, I may end up writing a longer review but I'll list my first impressions here. Personally I don't understand people saying that these aren't bassy, in my opinion they have a ton of bass compared to what I'm used to. They sound very nice...

    Xiaomi Pistons 3.0 Impressions Thread

    I tried looking that up aswell a while back, it seems like they're a cheaper version of the Pistons. This is Xiaomi's official page on the Youth version, unfortunately it's in Chinese: http://item.mi.com/1151800021.html

    The Xiaomi Pistons Thread 2.0

    Did you end up getting the Piston 2.0's or 3.0? And did you try different tip sizes? I know that makes quite a difference in comfort/seal/sound.

    The German Maestro GMP 8.35 D Monitor in the studio... serious about audio, INDEED!!

    I ended up ordering the extra thick pleather pads after reading some more about the two pads on various other headphones. Can't wait to get them! :D

    But if it was a tight fit for the 2.0's, then surely it would fit better on the 3.0's because of the thinner nozzles?

    The German Maestro GMP 8.35 D Monitor in the studio... serious about audio, INDEED!!

    Yet another person here looking to buy a pair of HM5 pads. At first I was looking at the velour ones, but I probably get the pleather ones now. I've seen some discussion here on the thick vs the regular pads, but what's the consensus on it now? Seems like the thick ones would be more...

    The Xiaomi Pistons Thread 2.0

    In the past they shipped within 12-48 hours for me, the Piston 3.0's took about 14 hours from order/payment to shipping.

    Xiaomi Pistons 3.0 Impressions Thread

    I went ahead and ordered the Piston 3.0's. Haven't had any IEMs in ages and felt like trying again for this price since they will only be seeing some rare use. Also ordered some cheap foam eartips and the Sony Hybrid clones linked in one of these threads.   Kinda excited to get some new head...

    Looking for new active noise canceling headphones

    After using my CX400-II for a while with the smallest ear-tips provide, they still hurt my ears. Not as much as with the other tips, but I still wanted to take them out every moment I had them in. And even if they wouldn't have hurt my ears they were still to small because there was absolutely...

    Looking for new active noise canceling headphones

    I was using the smallest of the double rounded tips (I don't know what they're called, but they have 2 layers). But I'll try using the smallest regular ones then, I'll try to use them for as long as possible and then report back.   I know there is a difference in quality but that's what I...
