The resolution of these Pistons are not bad at all. I do expect them to clean up in sound with burn in..I don't know if they best the current stock of nicer $100 phones but these hang with them and that is silly for a phone this cheap.

  well maybe not "better" than the S2 but more fun perhaps!  S2 more analytical and can be used to her what your sources are putting out and scale up
with amping etc, more revealing  but Pistons more exciting and interesting as you amp them and scale up, not nec. more accurate.

 
Thanks, I was just wondering that since it's better than x4 its price, which means $120, lol. I should have said if it competes with it, thanks!

Awesome, thanks for your input. I meant if they compete, not beat.

I wonder if you'll purchase the fostex before the pistons.

  dsnuts where did you get your pistons from?


From an ebay link. I think it was iemmagnet that had a link for. It was from this guy but I got mine for $25. He has raised the price since.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Design-Xiaomi-Piston-Earphones-Gold-Headset-3-buttons-wire-control-SG-POST-/181294614168?pt=Bluetooth_Wireless_Products&hash=item2a36004698
 
This one is a bit cheaper. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-design-Xiaomi-PISTON-Earphones-pink-ROSE-GOLD-Headset-3-buttons-wire-control-/141157769953?pt=Bluetooth_Wireless_Products&hash=item20dda8a2e1

Ok so multiple people claim Pistons to be better than MA750? .... I am convinced.
 
Ehm, so guys, why don't you buy Pistons from the official manufacturer page and save yourself troubles getting the fake ones?

Give them the famous gazillion hours of burn in and the sky is the limit :)

Just kidding but yes, these sure are the ones to beat in the budget segment at the moment.

Thanks for the link. I had been ignoring them until now. I`ll definitely be waiting for impressions on them before doing anything in the way of further iem purchases.
