Just want to answer to some questions in the V9.




You may need to check again on your piston 2 bro.

The real one should state as 小米活塞耳机 2
But your pic clearly shows that your one doesn't have the number 2 on that sticker, which means your one could be actually Piston version 1 instead of 2. Just my 2 cents.




The S, L, R lables are the real one, while the music logo are fake.


For anyone who interested, here's the real vs fake.

The 1st link is the real one.

But the 2nd is the fake one. It's funny that that mod in miui forum who bought it wasn't able to recognize it.

It's quite easy to identify which one is real and which one is fake. Just look at the structure inside the box. The real one will provide a metal clip.

We all know that la, bro. But the problem is even some of the sellers themselves don't realize that they are actually selling the fake one.

I would suggest that whoever want to sell Piston 2, please do provide the real full pics of the product, the pics of the one that you are gonna sell, not the pics that you grabbed from the internet. Then we can take a good look and verify whether it's real or fake.

And yes, if anyone wonder, I ended up buying a fake one from the garage becoz I was too stupid for not doing my research before buying it.

Sorry but I am less confident now after my last purchase. Frankly speaking, I won't dare to buy any Piston 2 from the garage unless I can see the real pics. Perhaps you can provide the real pics of yours?

Nice info. So now we got the fake one, the version 1.0, version 2.0, and version 2.1 (IF version doesn't count since it's already out of stock)

Just thought that i should add this as well.

That description sticker on the piston box. This is very important. Remember to check that sticker. The Piston 2.1 would provide the correct information as below:



The item name: 小米活塞耳机 2 (it must have the number 2. if no, then it's either fake or piston version 1.0)

The item should be 12g (the fake one and Piston 1.0 will say 11g instead)

The power will be 5mW (the 1.0 version got only 2mW)

The real one got 16 ohm. The fake one would say 12 ohm instead.

And the sticker would be pasted nicely. The fake one would paste the sticker "senget".

No need to be expert. Just look for the number and check if they are correct. Very easy.


Yes bro, your confirmed is 100% original. But sorry to say that we suspected yours is version 1.0 instead of 2.0/2.1. We already discussed it few hours ago.

Either that online shop cheated on you by giving you the old version, or they simply put the wrong sticker. I dunno.

Version 1.0. Or the worst, it's fake. I dunno. Need to check with the rest of the description on your sticker, and also the content isnide the box. Anyway, yours definitely not Piston 2.

It's simple. Just like when you buy Samsung Note 2. The name on the product box would say Note 2. If the "2" is missing, then something is wrong.

It's possible that they put the wrong/old version sticker. But honestly, i don't think Xiaomi would make this kind of silly mistake, right?

According to Xiaomi's own official review, they claimed that verison 2.0 is much more improved compared to version 1.0, in term of sound quality and build quality.

Then perhaps you should email or call them up and ask them why the "2" is missing. if they really giving you the real one, then why the hell their sticker doesn't put up with the correct item name? They need to give you an explanation.

if that's the case, then it's all good. but still, I can't accept this kind of solution. Using incorrect product box to send out the item? This is definitely ridiculous, especially for Xiaomi, a company who want to get nice reputation in the world.

At least, they should inform the customers about this instead of letting them scratching their head.

First, we got different version for an item. then we got the fake one as well. And now, using old box becoz of running out of original box ? oh Xiaomi....there's no other products like you.

Well, you are correct bro.

http://huosai.mi.com/

They indeed never say it's V2.0. They just simply call it the "Improved version" (in chinese).

IMO, they should pay attention to the current issues among the Piston buyers. if they all knew about this real vs fake or V1.0 vs V2.0 issues, they would have educated the customers how to differentiate them. Also they need to provide the pics of the product box/sticker and put it up in their site as well. Or am I asking for too much?

Anyway, I need to say sorry to suntzulee and jeremy. Yes, yours one are the real one, as long as the description on the sticker is correct.

Then it should be no problem at all. So try again. Even if you have tried for numerous times, don't give up. try again.

I myself tried about 10 times before I could eject the sim tray successfully. And after that, I told myself i will never take out the sim card anymore unless I decide to change phone.

Congrats!

Perhaps you need to set something on your Piston? I am now using edifier earphone. And it rings in my earphone when the calls come in.

Approximately 8 days.

I sticked it to the back of the service card.

he was just joking la. Just take it out and keep it at anywhere you want.

Xiaomi seems want to invade all the business industry. Now we have Xiaomi shirt. Perhaps next we will have Xiaomi underwear, watches, sport shoes, etc etc.

Unless they are hiring foreign workers. if not, then i don't see why you can't communicate with the local people in malay.
