Yes comparing the bigbargin pistons to inshoes pistons .

 

[sobriety71]

  Yes I think it is a repackaging or aesthetic upgrade.. however bhazard is also saying the treble on his real pistons are better.  Wouldn't that require an actual upgrade to the buds themselves?  Makes me think that the ones selling at taobao are Pistons v2.1.
 
mochill -- you're comparing yours with inshoes fakes though right? 
 
So we have:
 
Fake Pistons 2.0
from: inshoes
details: somewhat obvious differences once you look carefully
verdict: sound like ****
 
Real Pistons 2.0
from: ibuygou, itzikd15, possibly amazon
details: music notes on tips case, ribbed R on strain relief
verdict: hard hitting bass, recessed treble
 
Real Pistons 2.1
from: xiaomi.. taobao only?  what about xiaomiworld?
details: S/M/L on tips case, L/R clearly noted along with the ribbed R
verdict: hard hitting bass, extended treble

 
Hmm.... my version directly from XiaoMi store (purchased on 6th Jan) is:
details: S/M/L on tips case, ribbed R on strain relief
verdict: hard hitting bass, extended treble
(I only have one version, treble is extended. I can't say it is recessed).

Xiaomiworld?
 
Sounds to me like Real Pistons v2.05

Xiaomi sells them on their website too, but not internationally.

This is actually all a ploy to make audiofools buy the same phones three times.

^ I saw my name mentioned. And yet I somehow managed to avoid buying any of them lol

 

[daveyostrow]

Bass is tight and organic as can be....so much emotion is the miss its awesome...treble so clean and transparent,it make the doppios veiled...just get them guys ...if you can afford them. It even makes the mikros and te-05 sound veiled in comparison.

what iem are you chiming up about?

 

[MrEleventy]

I think the JVC woodies.

 

[daveyostrow]

anyone heard both the MartinLogan Mikros 90 and yamaha HPH200?

  anyone heard both the MartinLogan Mikros 90 and yamaha HPH200?

 
I think the 90 is way ahead of the Yammie in imaging and details (and bass). The HPH200, however, has a wider soundstage. Both sound natural to me.

 

[daveyostrow]

Thanks for the quick reply... looking for a good pair to recommend someone

When amped, I honestly think I have never heard a "fuller sounding" universal iem than the Sony H3. I can't think of one (ASG-2 was close but not quite there). Sometimes I forget these are earphones.

That's the feeling I get when the M200's are properly sealed with the comply tx500 tips. So if you're saying the H3's sound even fuller, then wow.
