Just ordered a pair of LE630.. Pretty excited. Everyone seems so happy with their pairs! For comparison sake, how are they these vs Xiaomi pistons?

I've owned a pair of Xiami Piston 3 and gave it away after listening to them for the first time....lol. So much for the Xiaomi Pistons....too much hype for nothing.
It depends on what you have to compare with. Blocking the vents fixes the overemphasised bass for me yet a friend with a discerning ear preferred the vents open. Others may consider the AKG version superior, to me the bass just sounds deficient.
is easy to test out the vents blocked with strips of tape. It would be interesting to hear from more people that tried it about what they ended up preferring.
So, an update.. I had ordered two pairs in case one was fake and the second pair just arrived recently. Both are from Bujeon but one is a bit of a bass cannon but also much clearer while the other has driver flex, less bass and doesn't sound as clear. It's weird though, both seem to be legitimate except one is about 1 cm longer in wire length than the other.
How did you determine that one pair was fake?
But, when I use the EQ in my iPhone, I can get them to sound great. I eq it as follows, starting with hitting FLAT as my starting choice in the eq choices:
60Hz - flat *edit* down one tick
150Hz- flat
400Hz - up one tick
1kHz - up one tick
2.4kHz - down two ticks
15kHz - flat *edit* down one tick
The "tuned by AKG" version has a more balanced sound signature with a tad less low end accentuation.
