Hi,

anyone who owns the VE Monk+ and the pistons 3 and have some words about SQ ?


Thanx

Ruesch

I owned the monk+ with my Piston 3 a few months ago. Kept my piston 3 and gave away all my monk+ buds. They kind of share a similar sound, i found the monk+ a little to dark for my tastes. Where as the piston 3 is warmer. For everyday use or commuting both would be great options. Id put them on a similar level to be honest.

Are these not available anymore? I went online to get a second set and I didn't seem them available anywhere.
Is there a suitable replacement if not?

So both of you gave me out of stock listings.
 
There is no problem finding where they might of been sold but there is absolutely no where that I have found that they are sold.
 
You show me an In stock listing and I might believe you. Otherwise my previous statement still stands.

Sorry? Second thought, you may be right? China stuff is made in batches.

Especially when retailers like that are out.

Seems like the Piston 3's are practically free, here's a pair for less than TWO DOLLARS shipped (!?) http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Xiaomi-Piston-3-Headphone-In-Ear-Headset-Stereo-earphones-With-Remote-Mic/122044029297?_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982&_trkparms=aid%3D888007%26algo%3DDISC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D40293%26meid%3Dc06df3cbd0314ae08fb4352fc188ddac%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26sd%3D302011949885
 
even if it's a fake, why not when it costs as much as the loose change in my wallet? It's probably no better than the Monoprice buds I've been going through every few months but jesus that is cheap.

I'd say this is 99.999% fake. Does the real Piston 3 even come in that many color choices?

They are fake.

I think Piston 3 has clearer mids compared to Monk+ but Monk+ feel more forward and Monk+ spots better resolving treble.

Ok and you will be happy with the 3 pairs of tips and the box......

Just search the KZ Thread as the ATE goes on sale for $4.99 and sounds better than a lot of $100 IEMs out there. No reason to buy fake IEMs that sound like azz.

what are the best modifications and eartips for the piston 3?
