Sony MDR-XB90ex or Philips Fidelio S2?

XB90EX is bass oriented, Fidelio S2 is relatively balanced.
Of the two, the S2 is the better overall performer. Although the semi open design of the S2 means it won't isolate as well.

Ok, thanks! Which would you choose?
I am loving the HPH-200, but my only complaint about them so far is the sibliance. Maybe I am just used to the signature of the S500s, but it only happens on poorly recorded songs. Still have them glued to my head
i know, its a problem. my housemates have to pry them off me to talk with me at the dinner table. they are definitely addictive. well poor tracks sound poor but most tracks sound glorious listening to old stuff over again to hear new musical landscapes!
Ok, thank you. Any other suggestion oh in ear headphone above $150?

The new Xiaomi Pistons, upgraded version:

These have a Beryllium Diaphragm, which is unheard of for a $20 IEM. If you don't know, large Beryllium Diaphragms used in compression drivers usually cost around $2,000+, and TAD uses them in their highest end speaker.
I think those look great and are quite interesting, have you tested those?? That name tells me nothing

I have them on the way. The original version was supposedly very good.
Xiaomi is the biggest smartphone maker in China. So big, that one of the top guys for Android (Hugo Barra) left Google to run Xiaomi.
Xiaomi is also responsible for MIUI, a very popular Android ROM for smartphones.
Looking forward to your impressions. These look interesting and affordable.
