Tell me too :D

I told him that it was a offer showing up on my face to purchase anything above 750 and get 500 off. It was not a deal or coupon.

Back to school!!
Got Mi Piston earphones, flipkart surprised me, flat 3 days delivery.

1MoreDesign, sounds funky, but the design is good:

Extra 3 pair of tips, no biflange though:

Kevlar? I guess so, didn't try to tear it apart:

The buds:

This is version 2.1 if I'm not wrong, the back grills are there as I'd expected:

Initial Impression:

Pros:

1. Price: Nothing to explain here, the packaging alone justifies the price, sound quality is extra.
2. Packaging: Look at the pics above, when my father saw this he said this must cost 5000/- plus, I had to show him the bill.
3. Sound: This the the most important bit. I'd say its fantastic. The sound is warm. The bass is high as well as treble, sort of V Shaped sound signature, nothing that the equalizer in poweramp couldn't take care easily, just pull the <1khz bands a bit lower. But the mids are clear, they do not drown out. Isolation is good.
4. Control: Volume control works out of the box in android.

Cons:

1. Sound signature: This might irritate those who are used to flat balanced sound like Soundmagic E10, but on the other way it will amaze bassheads.
2. Control: The volume keys and control keys lie in opposite, so you will always have 3 fingers on all three buttons pushing towards each other, so key misspress is very common till you get used to it.
3. Fit: The supplied tips are too smooth, they do not provide enough friction, so all the buds have a tendency to slip from your ear, you'l have a hard time to use them in a gym.


Verdict:

The best headphone sub 2k for sure, and as a headset its the best one sub 3k easy. Good sound, amazing packaging, very good for gifting as well, build quality is good, worth every paisa even if it lasts one year :D

Thanks, and I moved away from Sennheiser long time ago, for me it was either Soundmagic E10M or this, E10M costs ~3k, so piston was a no brainier.

Well, if looks could kill. Awesome design.

Gotta try it sometime.
Wanted to try out my FZ150, its been sitting out long time and I made a decision, no DSLR for me, the FZ150 will pull hard for some time more.
