Which generation Moto G? Did the Piston 2 volume control work with it?
1st Gen. Nope, the 2.0 volume control didn't work on this model either.

I've got the XT1033 which one do you have?
Yup, same one! I'm not in the know technically behind it, but they certainly do work with other xiaomi devices (as expected). Would be great if they did work on the XT1033 but not a deal breaker for me.
The 2nd gen works with all the remotes, but the 1st gen unfortunately is hardware limited to only work with the middle button. Not a huge loss since the phone is THAT good for the $300 price tag it came out with. It is by far the best Android experience I've ever had (and the cheapest). Before it I had the OG Samsung Note which was good but not this good. The Moto G is truly butter smooth, and it gets all the latest update really quick.
Did you get it because of the dual sim? I got mine coz it was the cheapest. Had to get it on eBay coz they don't sell em in Australia. If I was ever to update my phone I would probably go with whatever the latest iteration of the Moto G is available at the time.
And...they're here! One day shipping from Hong Kong to the UK! I bought them from Penon Audio and they've included some free ear tips. They're black on the outside with orange inners. Any idea what brand these are? They're really comfortable.
The stock tips still don't seal that well so some third-party tips would probably be a good idea still. The barrel size is much smaller this time around so that might make more ear tips available?
Sound wise, they're still V-shaped but I would say the higher frequencies are a bit better defined - they're clearer. Bass is still quite emphasised but it's not distracting. Comfort-wise, they're way more comfortable. The way they are curved means they fit my ears nicely. They don't rub against my ears like the Piston 2s did - the fact that they were made of metal probably didn't help either (the Piston 3s are plastic).
Overall, I'd say the upgrade probably is worth it but only just. The improved comfort is one of the main reasons for the upgrade, if you found that that was an issue with the Piston 2. Either way, I'm impressed!
Oh I thought they were some highly sought after ear tips that I'd he able to pay off my phone buying addiction with - oh well.
They're really quite comfortable and they fit the Piston 3s perfectly.They seal much better than the stock tips which again are uncomfortable and let loads of outdoor noise in.
