Xiaomi Pistons 3.0 Impressions Thread
Jul 5, 2015 at 11:34 PM Post #377 of 992
After one of the most stressful weeks of my life, I come home to find the Piston 3.0 in my mailbox.They were exactly what I needed to wind down. Looking forward to putting some serious listening time on them, as ootb I'm absolutely loving them. Best 8 USD I've ever spent. 

how do they compare with the top KZs?

I've only listened to a few songs, so I can't say yet. They fit me better than any of the KZs, except maybe the ANV. The ANV and PIston 3.0 are some of the only iems that I can just shove in my ears fuss free. Love em.

How do these compare to UE600? My dumb phone (LG G3) won't tolerate an sensitive/low impedance cans without horrible hissing and distortion and I don't really feel like getting yet another 100e pair of headphones just because.
 
Also, is the isolation enough for walking around the town or e.g. public transport?

Has anyone tried taking the filters off? How do they sound?
 
EDIT: I just went ahead and took them off... It doesn't really improve the lack of sharpness or precision but I will give it some time.

I find the isolation in piston 3 is terrible compared to piston 2. Personally dont find the isolation in piston 3 enuff for public transport. But piston 2 yes.

Try using the 2's ear tips with the 3 if possible.

@hessi 
have you found out if the ones with the simplified packaging are legit? i guess they are since the link in the chart on the first page leads to them and the reviews are apparently all 5 stars but i would like to get a confirmation on that.
thx
