lets bulk.. haha.. its cheap anyway..

Dear ClieOS,

how is the P2 if compared to your highly rated RE400? could the P2 at least match the RE400 SQ?

let's do this...

*note to self: must stop buying earphone...

Kinda interested as well but have few of my IEM already lying around chewing dust... *sigh* not sure if it's worth it?
@ClieOS, what signature (brand) does this resemble? Japan sound? German sound?
How much if I want to join the bulk? Postage to Kuching, Sarawak.

How does it compare to the Monoprice iems?

I won't say it beats RE400, especially on the mid, but it does get pretty close consider the 1/4 price tag.

Bassy with a very slight V-shape FR, fairly well balanced with a good soundstage. Dunno what Japanese or German sound is like.

I don't have eBay account nor credit card, can someone become leader?

Anyway of buying this now?

have 3 pairs in-coming ... but not ready to sell them

Just buy from Penonaudio. Or if you want, I can sell you my nearly unused Pistons 2.0 iF Edition.

Well at least now you won't have to worry about the wife snatching a pair. Even if she does, you have spares!

Yup! Spares!

One in laptop bag, one in backpack and one in your wifes handbag.

hows the sound like? compared to apple earpod?

The Pistons are bassy IEMs, borderline into basshead territory. There's also a surprising amount of sparkle up top and generally, the mids do suffer presenting the Pistons with a U-shaped signature. Soundstage is pretty wide though and generally the Pistons are laid-back IEMs. Great for pop, rap, EDM, techno sort of genres.

thanks for the info bro.. kinda outdated on these audio technicalities.. so basically if im into vocals type of audio.. pistons not exactly the right choice.. must admit the price is good, love the luxury look

How much is this? Who is selling anyway?

Pretty much. The similarly priced SoundMagic E10 is more balanced at this regard, it doesn't have as much prensence on the bass nor does it ever go lower than 50hz (rarely even touching that in fact).

You could do the foam mod by removing the foam in the Pistons to improve mids, but that really saps out the kick on the bass that the Pistons is known for. Double edged sword IMO.
Some people like it without the foam because it becomes less U-shaped and is generally more balanced and upfront, but I personally think it doesn't fix much. Also by removing the foam, the treble becomes way too bright as well.

Indeed, the looks of it is something you'd generally expect from IEMs priced RM300+ or more.

Anyone know how to get these earphones in Malaysia? I wouldn't mind paying a small premium, but considering 99 yuan = RM50, and the sellers on LYN are selling it for almost double the price, I'm definitely not going to buy from them.

The problem is your calculation and perception of the cost. On Xiaomi Singapore's website is SGD19.99 + SGD5 delivery = SGD25 = RM66. To deliver to you via Poslaju is another RM6. What about the time taken to wait in front of the computer and compete with others to get it (just like AirAsia 0 fare sale)? In fact, asking for RM100 is cheap. Do have 3 sets of brand new iF edition Pistons with me just to spare and have not intention to sell at all, at least not at RM100

Beware of fakes!
