Flipkart are legit and most likely same.IMO They need some break in however since they arrived hot from factory.
Can you post in a simple text Hz-db, so we can apply on normal sliding equilizers. Can't use PC because it lacks microphone port. And viper4android is not available for cm11 android 4.4.4


Yes it is. I'm using it :wink:

i would advice you to use parametric eq or FIR (did you try to install the viper4android apk from their website), but if you are not gonna ,try to use atleast a 10 band graphic eq..ill post the frequency graph,you can make your own eq from it

  What's the consensus on the mod for Pistons - removing the foam? I'm only hesitating because I like the idea of the grill - and not sure if I can get it back on.

The mod makes mid more forward and I personally don't like the mod since it enhances the microphonic. Unfortunately the grill can't be put back on since it needs a glue to truly stick.

I've heard some reports of people getting fakes from Robert's super store now, I already bought a pair off VZTech and they were fake so I'm unsure of whether or not to order a new pair from Robert's.

From Amazon? Proof? I got the real thing from Robert's via Amazon.  And if there is a problem Amazon would crush Robert's.

haha..in parametric eq there is only peak filters and shelf filters and you have to make your frequency response with these filters. in that image you can see the individual filters is coloured lines, the original freq response is the shaded blue figure. did you try to install the apk from viper website
 
wen i was using poweramp as my eq wat i did was
1.limit the poweramp eq dB to +-7dB(in the pow amp settings)
2.go to settings-dev options-enable pointer locatoin
3.then i would map the y axis value for +7 db and -7db,then substract the value of +7db from -7db,then divide it by 14,let it be x
4.if i have to map +5db then wat u need to do is (((+7)-(+5))*x)+(value of y axis @ +7db)=thats the position of +5db
 
cheers

I'm only going off what other people are saying, naturally since I've already been duped once I'm going to be a little more cautious this time. Anyway here is where I saw someone say they got fakes from Robert's http://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/27xevr/xiaomi_piston_2_the_25_heavy_hitter_that_smells/ckjkene.

Thanks for the source but I'm still skeptical. There are several sellers on Amazon, and based on price and reviews, some are fakes. But with Amazon it's a mute point since they accept returns easily. Robert's now has the silver btw.
