Xiaomi Pistons III

xiaomi hybrids

consumer technolo/g/y!

>all this xiaomi shilling
First with the fucking battery banks, then the Redmi Notes, now with fucking earphones. Absolutely shameless.

>>52878695
if you want things cheap, then it's probably going to be chinese
xaiomi is the best chinese tech company right now, so no wonder they get a lot of recs

>>52878500
Grab a set of Earpods or a set of Skullcandy in ear headphones.
Cheap as shit and decent.

>>52878712

ALL of them are shit, the only thing there is to some of them is that they stick better in your ears when you walk

Philips SHE8000. They lasted me about 2 years before they started falling apart.

>>52878695

If you don't want honest opinions from people who know what they're talking about then don't come here.

Just buy xiaomi piston 3 literally nothing better in that price range. Id take a look at the soundmagic 10's as well.

What are these and how are they different than the piston III?

Philips Surround sound earbuds(not really surround sound) but that have good sounds stage as I remember.

>>52881137
Shure se215 for $75 or so on amazon.

>>52881137
Still Pistons.

Beats JK. Maybe you should try the Amazon basic earbuds, they are like $20

>>52879601
cant belivee these are 20 bucks. Whats the catch?

What are the best and most durable earbuds on the market for $50 or below? My old ones (Razer hammerheads) just stopped working on me today. I liked them, but the jack was a big issue because it was the reason they don't work. Can anyone give recommendations? Thanks in advance.

>>52878500
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Xiaomi Pistons 3.

>>52883009
I'm reading on Amazon that alot of people end up buying fake ones. How can you tell who the seller is on Amazon?

KZ ATE.

>>52878500
Piston 3, Soundmagic E10

Honestly almost any IEM in this ultimate cheapo price range is extremely bassy or V-shaped.

>>52878678
>>52883390
Shit

>>52881137
Etymotic MK5, not really comfy but they sound amazing.

>>52881447
SQ wise it does no better than some KZ buds for 10 bucks. It's comfy though and the form factor is nice.

>>52883530
the ATEs are great earphones for the price and sound better than most earphone under £50.

They are worse than the ED3 and ED9 and also huge. Very bassy response.

What are the best ear buds? Money isn't an issue but not looking to spend over 200 but recommend me some I'll get a bang for my buck

>>52883698
they cost £8 so what can you expect.

>>52878500
Those Zune earbuds were GOAT, Microsoft should sell audio accessories because those were top quality.

>>52878500
Earpods

>>52878500

Xiaomi Piston Hybrid

people which actually think that xiaomi recs are shills.

the real player behind all great in-ear headphones is mainly called 1 More Design, which is hired all the time by the bigplayers to design new type of earphones for em

be it the oneplus Icons or Xiaomi Piston series.

>tfw pistons always fall out of my ears

I'm actually fucking using Apple IEMs because they fall out way less. Fuck, are my ears retarded?

>>52884405
bought piston, returned to EP-630 immediatly
they sound the same
both are easily driven
but creative really stay in my ears
while piston might only be for riding, now walking/running

How can you all get over the maddening noise of cable rubbing/feet thumping when you are on the move with isolating earphones like that?

>>52884521
try to listen to music when you have them in your ears
it helps against the noise

>audio devices under 40$
As an audiophile, this is absolutely repugnant. To even think of such an abomination going anywhere near my ears... I'm extremely aggravated now.

Look son, I don't know what your life story is, and quite frankly, I care very little about it. But you DON'T cheap out on your audio device. Cheap out on literally everything you want, but never, ever, on your audio device.

Tl;dr: rethink your life decisions.

>cable rubbing/feet thumping
These are two different phenomena.

>>52884521
I don't get very much cable thumping with the jacket pocket I'm placing my smartphone in.

And I guess when something touches the cable occasionally, the low level of noise that creates generally doesn't bother me terribly.

I understand you can't get it from the cheap chink knockoffs you obviously use. An audio playback device is an extremely complex thing, it can't possibly be made so cheap if it is to maintain any resemblance of quality. It just doesn't add up. You probably just have too messed up eardrums to even notice the abhorrent quality you're getting.

I got the SOUNDMAGICS and honestly can't tell the difference from apple's after buying a 6s plus. I'll be selling these soundmagics or keeping for backup idk

> Why do I have the feeling you're the kind of boor who drinks wine out of a shot glass?
Nah, but I might indeed just use any 2 DL+ glass.

Occasionally it gets filled straight by dunking the glass into the very classless plastic bin where it was brewed.

You know, shit that works - not shit that is strongly designed to impress.

I suspect I have spent much more than you have on portable audio.

>audio playback device is an extremely complex thing
So complex that you never bothered to look at the physics of it and think how it is possible? In ear physics are not that difficult, filters give all the remaining tools needed for in-ear sound.

Alright, this is for you fags who want to buy IEMs sub 40€

do NOT listen to these cucks, all of these are shit

I ordered 9 pairs from amazon, all cheap ones. Im not an audiokek, here's my opinion:

The soundmagic e10s were good but no bass at all, if thats ok buy them, they have the best build quality and feel

The Nuforce ne-600X were REALLY good, propably the best sound, but shit build quality

The rest was just bad, dont even consider buying any of these (including the Sennheiser cx 300-II)

I could't open the package of the JVC BassMemes, so idk about that one

And the pistons are a bad meme desu. Maybe they do sound good but they are incredibly uncomfortable. Not worth it imo.

But there was a good pair among them.

... this one. the House of Marley Zion

Yes I know they have that "dude weed lmao" feel to them but they are built like a tank and the sound by far the best. They even have lots of bass

and you get a nice carrying pouch. got them for 38€

They're the ear buds that came with Zunes. There are magnets in them so you can stick them together for storage. I used it to stick them to the side of my fridge so I'd always know where they are when I need them. Probably why I still have them today.

The only complaint I have about them is that the cord is textured so when it rubs against itself it makes a bit of noise like corduroy pants do.
