Xiaomi Piston 3.0 Pics + Review

[Techguy]

They are just fine. I prefer triple flanges of my etymotics but they do great too.

Piston 3 are in stock on Mi India. gotta decide quickly between them and ATEs.

Okay, Piston 3 are in stock, as are the KZ ATE's, but Piston 3 are ~50% more expensive.
Last Q here:
I listen mostly to electronic music (need bass, but not overpowering); need good isolation (as you said it depends on tips and fit). Needs to be comfortable (will be using for an hour, will depend on tips again).
Is it worth paying Rs.999 for Piston3 over ~Rs.700 for ATE?

Piston 3 s are ultra worth the Rs 999 paid. They sound as good as a Rs 5K iem. But the only place they falter with a over Rs 5K iem is vocal expressiveness .

I know it's not a good question, but should I buy them instead of the ATE?

Buy the Piston 3 instead of ATE ? Need good noise isolation using the respective stock eartips.

Can only comment on the sound quality...... Noise isolation and fit differs from person to person.

P3 is balanced, ATE has enhanced bass; ATE fits you better with stock buds (noise isolation)?

You've got to decide what is your priority. Make it fast before P3 runs outta stock again.

Priority is noise isolation.
Pls confirm:

[The Incinerator]

ATE does sound a bit more bassy over the Pistons since its warm and dark hence the enhancement. The extensions are good too.
I don't have any issue with either in fit and noise isolation. But since everyone has different ear canal structure I won't be able to comment how it will fit you and provide noise isolation.
If you buy both it will cost you Rs 1680. My advise get both!

Hahaha! Can't get both. Which isolates better for you?
Think: local noisy bus. would they isolate well or will i have to pump up the volume?
