Oh. I could almost swear I remember you typing Merrimobiles, but maybe that could've just been me. Thanks for the heads up.

How do the silver one stack up against the original brown/gold ones?

You mean the silver updated version vs the brown updated version? I got both and couldn't notice any difference on the sound.

Oh, that's great. Just ordered it from ibuygou. Does it smell like chocolate too?

Nope, they just smell paint.

 

[thatBeatsguy]

The thing about the "chocolate" smell still beffles me even now. What's up with the smell anyway? It doesn't even smell like chocolate -- just silicone or something.

I have both the fake and genuine piston cases and the fake one smells like silicone chemical while the genuine one smells like a cocoa/chocolate smell.

Alright, bought the pistons off of amazon from Robert's Superstore and can pretty much confirm that they're legit as well. Right off the bat these things sound really fun though the bass isn't so overpowering and mids not so recessed so I guess fun but more balanced than others. Hadn't spent much time with them yet so I can't really comment too much about it.
 
They're not the most comfortable IEMs in the world though so these might hurt if you have small ears. Also be weary that these are metal and they can get cold! That was an odd surprise when I put em on this morning after they've been sitting on my night stand with the fan on

After using the Piston 2.1 for some time, I concur its a great headphone for the price and the hype is somewhat justified.
 
The only thing I don't like is the design of the remote. Having the track control button in the back makes it difficult to use it effectively in my opinion. Many times I find myself having to actually look at the remote and fumble with it so that I can grip it correctly and place my fingers in the proper position without hitting the volume buttons by mistake. I had some cheap Samsung earbuds with 3 button remote (all in same side) that never gave me this problem. Of course sound quality was not even close to the Pistons.

Indeed!!! Trance Nation! 
 
How are the earhooks working out? Do they help with stability and seal for the tips? I'm still on stock and would like to purchase better ones but wouldn't mind doing exercise and running if I got the hooks. 
 
 
For those fearful of fakes, many on this forum have ordered from PenonAudio.com( in HongKong), as have I. It's a bit pricier, but it's made up for in a speedier deliver and peace of mind. Atleast to the United States.

where do you get the ear hooks?

Hello ! First time here!
 

 
Got 5 of these badboys ($15 a pop.....100 percent LEGIT....for hoarding purposes lol) and I must say they are truly impressive for the price! even better than the Cx-300 mk II I would say!
 
Just make sure you replace the stock  eartips  (boy they suck)   with a ''thicker' silicone rubber or some sort and there will be a noticeable difference in the audio quality!
