Are you talking of these: Mi In-Ear Headphones - Mi India ?


Personally speaking, Sennheiser CX180 are the best IEMs below 1k IMO

Mi Piston 2 is ok. It lacks bass, rest good. If you need good bass, i will suggest Sennheiser CX180 (it lacks mic though)

If you're looking for other options, go for these: Buy Denon AH-C260 In-Ear Headphone (Black) Online at Low Prices in India - Amazon.in

I had a pair & these sounded great. Not as bass heavy as CX180 but the mid-end is somewhat cleaner then the CX180.

CX 180 is good, i have one, But the built quality not good, the wire got broke very soon. you can go for Mi piston 2 quality is very good and bass also in 8k.

Sennheiser should replace your IEMs if you claim warranty(I am from Guwahati too BTW)

Send an email to their CC stating your case & they should agree to replace it. They once send me ear buds without charges for CX180 as the ones I had got spoilt.

Their warranty period and lack of service centers irks me. I'm confused whether to get CX 180 street II or some other IEM.

Mi piston 3 is definitely a good earphone for rs1000, But if you are looking for high bass, then go for cx180, it 5% higher bass then piston 3, but the wire quality of cx180 is not good.

Have been using the Mi Piston 3 for the last 2 months. For the price I've found them to be very good. The build quality of the cable (kevlar coated) is exceptional, sound quality is also good. But yes, if you are a bass enthusiast and listen to a lot of hip hopyou should not consider them as the bass is more on the lighter(balanced?) side.

2 months means that you've completed the burn in period. Are the phones really good in build and sound quality? I really want to go for them after reading all the net reviews

I'm not really an audiophile so I don't really care about burn in but yes I listen to a variety of genres and the sound quality is very good for the price. The build quality is really impressive, while ordering I did not expect a 1000 INR earphones to have such decent build quality.

just got the MI in ear phones (Piston 3). Sound good off the bat, let's see what happens once burn in is done . Buttons work perfectly with my Galaxy S3 (I9300)

I don't know about the Mi earphones but I will suggest going for AUDIOTECHNICA ! They deliver sound like 2-3k JBL or SONY earphones... You can get the good one in less than a 1000 bucks

Ok so have had the MI in ear sets for a week. My review. Sound quality is pretty good, better than even some sony and skullcandy sets. Bass is a little low, but then its very well balanced. The buttons work perfectly with my Samsung Galaxy s3. The cable feels flimsy and the joints might not be able to take too many pulls. Joints all have a proper plastic cover to protect them. It hardly has any wind noise or rubbing noise from clothes. So good stuff if you wsnt to workout with these.
