QUOTE(widget @ Dec 28 2013, 11:42 AM) Back to Xiaomi Piston, I ordered one from eBay for US$10 and received a fake.... Bu**er.... even $10 iem also want to fake.... Luckily I still have the JVC while waiting for my Roxanne I have a Piston for a while now. For the price it is okay. The build quality is really good but the SQ is just so-so. You are not really missing much. On the other hand, the Piston 2 has been released and I have one inbound. Should be here in a week or two.

Received my Piston 2 and already give it a brief listening. As promise, here is my impression: compared to Piston 1, the P2 is a really noticeably improvement. The grainy upper vocal is gone, the bass reaches down even deeper. Overall the sound signature remains fairly similar to P1 - bass oriented and a somewhat of a full sound, but I won't call it very warm. Because of P2 being vented, soundstage is also improved with better depth. I paid around US$25 and it is well worth the price.

QUOTE(widget @ Jan 6 2014, 04:11 PM) Thanks ClieOS... Mind sharing where did you purchase the P2 from? Scared kena tipu buy imitation again  Got mine here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Design-Xiaomi-...=item2a36004698QUOTE(munlok30 @ Jan 6 2014, 04:13 PM) hmm , how about the sound quality ??? i saw somehow a similar earphone like this at night market lol Excellent for the price. You can pay twice as much for something else with half the SQ. It is not going to beat really good IEM, but I don't think you can ask for more with that kind of price.

QUOTE(un_id @ Jan 8 2014, 12:10 PM) Dear ClieOS, how is the P2 if compared to your highly rated RE400? could the P2 at least match the RE400 SQ? I won't say it beats RE400, especially on the mid, but it does get pretty close consider the 1/4 price tag. QUOTE(wildwestgoh @ Jan 8 2014, 03:48 PM) @ClieOS, what signature (brand) does this resemble? Japan sound? German sound? Bassy with a very slight V-shape FR, fairly well balanced with a good soundstage. Dunno what Japanese or German sound is like.
