Now , I have only $17.75 on the card , so I will go for Piston 3 or Joyroom 107. Lol , I did not expect.
I searched E107 on aliexpress and it costs 11.6$ , some people buyed for 8$, can you give me the link?
@tw1s
i am reading all your posts and finding that you are a bit confused!
since i own these IEMs .. ill give u a small suggestion!
joyroom 107 vs piston 3 vs xiaomi hybrids
it is simple!
you are looking at hip-hop + Rap ..
which is ofc a good vocal response + additional bass for some thumping effects!
also some detail will help you for some well produced music as it makes the experience wholesome!
its basically like eating your favorite food!
BASS - Hybrid > joyroom > piston 3
joyroom 107 and the hybrid will have adequate bass response and will be better than piston 3!
hybrid's bass is really deep and extending .
VOCALS - piston 3 > joyroom = hybrids ( why equal will be explained )
piston 3 will give you a forward feel (with the right tips ) , more of an upfront experience
whereas the joyroom and the hybrids will push them a tad bit back .. though the vocal experience is different .
vocals on hybrids will be recessed but for the greater good because other melodies , symphonies and bass overlap and mix into a beautiful experience on the HYBRIDS!
whereas the joyroom will aim towards accuracy by melting the bass and vocals together and giving an overall likable sound!
DETAIL (MICRO)
hybrids > joyroom > piston ( the difference between piston 3 vs joyroom will be explained)
here is where the balanced armature comes into the picture!
i really doubt whether many people have actually completed the burn- in process of minimum 150 hours on the HYBRIDS!
when this is done .. you will get a totally different experience in itself!
both drivers will really show their magical touch and start playing some music that will leave you wondering about its PRICE!
basically THEY are like the school kid which is DIFFERENT and dosent FIT in necessarily with all his/her colleagues , but has that special something that some people love , but some people hate!
they hybrids will deliver a sound that will totally differentiate it out of all dynamic drive or micro dynamic driver IEMs!
it will deliver bass + separate instruments + keep micro detail intact !
and it will do this job good!
i assure you!
it will add its flavor to the song and that is what sets it apart! ( i like this and appreciate this bold effort)
now when we speak about pistons and joyrooms..
both of them will surely produce detail in all the spectrums and will give you a satisfactory experience for sure!
the micro driver engineering in joyroom is oriented for a non fatiguing listen and definitely delivers sound with precision , making it likable to the average consumer !
now now.. the piston 3 have a small problem (at least in the recent batch of piston 3 which are fully authentic from the official MI STORE and also gearbest)
they tend to show harshness in the TREBLE area which is easily caught by the ear .. be it a window shatter in a movie or any song (like Paper triangles by the pillows ) which tend to work around that 6-8 khz range !
and this can only be fixed with TIP rolling and EQ!
basically all 3 IEMs are good .. no doubt!
i give full credit , to the respective brands!
but i personally feel that the hybrids are an experience whereas the pistons and the joyrooms are a good listen!
you wont go wrong with either!
hence its your call!
btw.. i love your koala pic!
