Anyone know where I can get a pair of authentic Xiaomi Piston 3s? It seems amazon has nothing but fakes and ebay might too; the prices are unusually cheap

Worth the extra money to get the great customer service and guaranteed authentic merchandise

  It isn't, just not as good as the real LTDs. For $50 it sounds fine.

 
How long did you burn your ALI CKR9-LTD and did you hear any changes/improvements?
 
It is strange that even though I bought mine from aliexpress, the ring on the jack is thin just like on the original one on the picture left.

 I wonder if there are different batches of CKR9 LTD.

Same thing here.  Just got the AE ones, CKR9LTD.  They look like the originals on the picture.  And they sound way better than 50.00 iems... but that is imho and with about 1 hour of listening, for what it's worth.
I have the regular CKR9 also, been using it for a few weeks, also coming from AE.  I will compare later, but both sound good.  IMHO.

Can you describe the sound briefly? I'm looking for something with a slight V-shape, or otherwise good for rock and folk rock

They are not V-shape unfortunately but more of a "n" shape. It has a mid-forward sound signature.

So Ebay CKR9LTD is authentic, some ALI CKR9LTD are authentic, and some are fake?
 
If your CKR9LTD looks like LALALA's original, can you post a link to where you bought from?

Sure! I bought from this seller but unfortunately they are out of stock now. When I asked him how I can purchase another pair, he gave me below link which he said it is their another store. Worth checking!

I'd suggest choosing hongkong post as they are quite fast.

No problems. :)

Wow, if the ebay ones are real that is awesome. Aliexpress ones are a case of 'too good to be true' I guess...



After looking at the eBay and Aliexpress, and then reading your post and comparison, I think the eBay ones might be authentic. After doing the side by side comparisons, I noticed almost all the same things as you.
i agree, my ebay ones match the legit down to leather case and all
