  Can anyone suggest some good bi-flange or tri-flange ear tip for the Pistons? Also where I can buy them from!

 
 
No answer on the ear tips question?

My Pistons broke after 7 months. All of a sudden the right piece stopped working, but checking the cable it seems the cable broke in one spot, because if I move it, I get sound. I must say I'm disappointed.
Is there anything as good with phone mic at the same price? Another thing, the silver ones are the same quality of piston gold or they have different drivers? Or if I order another pair should I order the golden one? It seems I just missed the $19.99 sale...

The Silver ones should have the same drivers AFAIK. Strange how my pair broke in a similar length of time, and broke also because of the cable.

I would guess that the "Sennheiser" double flangs sold on Ebay would fit. I can check it this weekend.
 
OT: I also checked my Dynadock at it's another version compared to your but it still sounds suprinsingly good (and loud).

Thanks mate! I'll look into it.
 
I'm still surprised by that Dynadock. I'm thinking of taking it to work so I can leave the E17 at home.

I recently received a pair of Mi In-Ear Headphones (the one with the clip) that my brother said was only ₱695 with 12% VAT ($15.56). I thought he was kidding me that these were better than the Apple Earpods that came with my iPhone. Goes to show I shouldnt doubt him considering he has a pair of LCD-3s.
 
Now, someone mentioned to me that although these Mi perform for the price but are somewhat fragile. What should I do to keep these Pistons in proper working order?
 
Again, not looking to start a flame war but I just want to tell the other 3 people receiving them as a gift on how to care for them.

Oh dear, I must take care of my pistons then, before I sell it to get more durable IEM.  For now, I will enjoy it more

Well, for starters, don't wind it too often with its included travel case. It stretches out the cable and might cause a short in the long run. Other than that, I don't really know how else to care for them other than the obvious things (like not stuffing them into your pocket or dropping them in your bag, etc.).

How you store your IEM or headphone, or anything with cable is usually the main culprit of 'breaking'
Don't use the included 'cable winder', just do an over-under method to prevent tangling and store it in a small pouch or box if you want. if you have some small bag of silicon around (usually come with new bag,etc), you can put it in the pouch too.
 
Also do some regular cleaning and avoid using the product in extreme situation. Though, this thing is not $100 IEM, so buying another pair wouldn't hurt so much

So I just got a pair from Roberts Superstore on amazon, everything looks legit and checks out as far as I can tell, burning them in for about 100 hours before I give a critical listen as of now they seem extremely boomy, I like warm tone (I have e10's) but initial impression felt like this was overkill anyways time will tell.

I have a question though, My pistons came with a silver/black color scheme just like the IF edition but well they are not the IF edition so I am a little puzzled? there is no IF badges or anything of the sort, a barcode on it states underneath "New original Gold Xiaomi" so am I the only one? I can post some pictures if need be

There is a silver / white 2.0 version but I've never heard of a silver / black one. Can you please post some pics?

If you look into the "MI" official page FAQ in Facebook they state they have no authorized resellers outside their own online shops that don't offer international shipping, thats why we have to trust in the colective to find legit resellers. I think the chinese pages look way more shady, anyway, is not the ideal situation for us consumers to hunt down some company products all over the web and it is in the best interest for Xiaomi to make it available its products so there should be something else we don't know.
