  I'm not much of an ear bud fanatic myself, but I'll never depart from my VE MONK and my TY HI-Z. They are branded in my collection as "forever keepers"!

I agree. I have several Xiaomi products (including Piston 2 and Hybrid IEMs) from Gearbest and always original. 

How can you tell?

 
 
I have already written that I think that Gearbest (GB) is an official seller of Xiaomi products. 
 
From GB I have Xiaomi Miband 1S which works with official Xiaomi application (installed from Google Play). The same is with Xiaomi Camera I have bought at Gearbest. If these were fakes, they most likely would not work with official Xiaomi android applications. So I have never had any doubts that my Xiaomy Hybrids from GB are original.

Hi guys, so it seems I need some photos of Xiaomi Hybrids to compare my fake pair against for my dispute on Aliexpress. If any of you have any laying around I would really apreciate some photos of the jack, the rubber thing where the cables split, the mic and the housing.

If not that's fine to, but any help is apreciated.

I'm sure they are identical to look at and the only real difference is the drivers, but if there is a physical difference then that would help my case somewhat. It'snot like it's the largest sum to loose either, but it's going to bug me like hell if the dude gets away with it.

Considering the Shure is more than 30 times the price I seriously doubt it. Some of the Chinese IEMs are really good for the money, but they have their limits.

Is everyone a "basshead" nowadays? Sometimes it seems the only thing anyone talks about when talking about headphones is bass. After owning enough IEMs and judging their relative merits, I have to conclude that bass is easy. Even the cheapest junk from the dollar store has lots of bass, provided the fit/seal is good. But what I'm looking for, what sets great earphones apart, is great treble performance. A high end that has great extension, with sparkle, shimmer, and air. A balanced, realistic sound signature. I know there are plenty of IEMs known for their bass performance, but which earphones out there (especially in this "super-budget Chinese" category) stands out for their high-end performance?
