The price of these earphones is relatively low, and as compared to other produced by big brand company, this is really superb in quality. They were sold out in mater of minutes like other Xiaomi products. So what exactly do the earphones have that attracts that many customers?

The package of the Xiaomi Piston Earphone is really impressive with instructions being printed on the sides of the cardboard box. They can be easily unfolded and you can read very clearly from all sides. Moreover, users have claimed that they are what instruction papers should be – easy to read and follow.

And when you are done with reading, you can fold it back to form a box again, which is very convenient. The box can be used for putting the earphones back, or can be recycled.

The plastic cover case is small and pretty, which is very eye-catching from the first glance. It has rounded edges and a transparent cover. The golden earphones are placed neatly in the box, and you will feel that this is some high class and luxurious box. Even Xiaomi stated that the box can be used as gift box for friends and yourself. What a clever way of marketing by making such an elegant box.

The earpieces, control module and the 3.5 jack are placed neatly in the box, with very noticeable cracks. The piece of molded rubber housing all these parts is light. Although removing the parts can be tricky because they lie almost glued to the rubber, when you are used to it they are really easy to be removed and put back.
The earphones are gold-plated and have a very elegant appearance. The aluminum casing they have and laser etched circular line patterns make Xiaomi Piston Earphones a very nice looking product. Additionally, the shiny pieces completely feel premium and solid. This gives us a very reassuring feeling about the quality of the earphones as well as their durability.

The cords of the earphones are braided, which is a very unique feature you may not see on most of the earphones out there. Xiaomi states that these cords are tangle free, and it is really true since the braided parts make a surface between the cords that lessens the chance of them being tangled up like Rapunzel’s hair.

The Kevlar braiding is not complete on the cords though, since the part from the splitter-remote to the phones is covered with durable rubbery coating.
While the whole cords being braided are a nice idea, there will be a probability of the threads being sprung out. This unraveled, worn effect of the thread will cause discomfort and lessen the quality of the earphones. Sweat can be absorbed into the braided part and it is really a bad thing.

At the bottom of the box, under the rubber housing, you will find three different sets of silicone ear buds that you can choose. These are in different sizes, and you can swap them to fit your ears or when sharing music with your friends.

A holding clip is also included to make sure the cords will not be swaying back and forth. It keeps you comfortable while listening and moving at the same time.

For audio quality, Xiaomi Piston Earphones are probably one of the best audio devices. Consider its price and design, the earphones set really satisfies a lot of people. There is a balance double damping system on Xiaomi Piston Earphones helps to give more pure sound effects.
The Mi earphones has beryllium alloy as a material for faster, better and clearer sound. Moreover, its diaphragms allow lower bass and higher treble performance on the phones. The earphones can cover an extended range of frequency.

The ear buds are also very crucial to how the audio will play. By choosing the set that fits your ears, the quality of bass will be further improved. The smoothness and clearness of the treble can also be noticed more easily with a good ear bud set. And since Xiaomi has prepared you with 3 different sets, you do not have to worry about sound quality.

All kinds and genre of music play great through the earphones. Moreover, you can adjust the setting of audio quality through MiSound – an audio enhancer in every Mi series smart phone. With this, users can get every piece of their music to sound right. Xiaomi Piston Earphones are compatible with a lot of Android devices, and tests on other smart phones of different brand show that the earphones work efficiently.

The multi function button on the earphones work great when you choose to play or pause music. With just a single tap on the button, you can pause what you are listening or receive a call.
A double tap means skip to the next song or mute the call. A triple tap means skip to the previous song. To end the phone call or to access Google Now, you just have to press the button for a while.

Phone calls received when Xiaomi Piston Earphones are plugged in are also clear and loud enough.

Owning these braided earphones, 3 different sets of ear buds, you will be satisfied with the experience Xiaomi Piston Earphones give. Since the earphones are compatible with Android smart phones, you will not have to worry if the earphones can play on what devices or not. The price of the earphones is very reasonable, and they are really worth buying.
