Thanks, great that you appreciated the review! I'll be sure to scour Apple's AppStore in search of "Jay's Headset Controls", although I'm sceptical regarding whether Apple would actually allow users to configure remote buttons. They seem to be pretty comfortable with their locked ecosystem of apps, and really Android are unrivalled when it comes to "configurability".
Don't get me wrong - I think my SpaceGrey iPhone is just as exquisite as my golden Xiaomi Pistons. However, if I had gotten the golden iPhone, the pistons would blend in almost seamlessly with the phone, appearing more or less like stock headphones.
I have, however, been wondering if the original Xiaomi Pistons are as good as the 2.0 version. I would definitely recommend that you buy a pair of the 2.0s, just to see the difference. Could you describe the audio, and possibly even the materials used in the original Pistons?

I don't know if is available on ios, but on android i use the app Jays Headset Control to adjust the function of the remote buttons. Now I can change tracks by pressing the buttons, but change volume by holding the buttons.
And is you really hate the color difference between the headphones and your phone, you might consider buying version 1 of the pistons, which are silver. I only own the silver version, so I don't know if there is much difference in quality, but I think these sound great.
