1MORE Piston Fit Earphone with Mic

I purchased the earphone with some doubts about its sound reproduction capability. I received the item and after test listening them I have to agree that they are awesome sounding gears. They have a balanced sound reproduction with slight dip in the mid frequencies showing a V shaped sound with a minimum dip. The bass is well controlled and not at all boomy. Persons saying it lacks bass seem to love boomy bass overpowering other frequencies. Listen to well recorded tracks like Allan Taylor's "Colour to the moon" and one will find the bass lines are adequate and controlled. The treble is also smooth but for Bollywood recordings they are a bit bright with slight edginess in some songs. The mid range is OK and enjoyable but a slight more mids would have made this perfect for my taste. Overall a very good earphone for the price I bought it for @799, which doesn't hurt your ears even after prolonged listening. The cord and tips are a run of the mill quality and not bad. The single button mic is an added advantage. The impedance of the earphone is 32 ohms and higher than normal earphones for casual listening most of which are within 16 ohms. Higher impedance means they should sound better with more power. But the modern smartphone are capable enough to drive this efficiently. I listened to this with my LG V20 as also Redmi 4. LG V20 detects this as normal headphone (impedance being less than 50 ohms) and drives them better and louder than Redmi 4 which is as expected. Lastly a very very good earphone in budget for normal listening.

So, Starting with the package part, it comes with a standard white package with piston fit earphones pic and branding at the front, turning to the back you will get a seal and some other specification and other details. When we open up the package first, we get all new earphone, which seems to be well made with a metallic brushed metal finish. Over here we get silver variants which are my favorite. In the package, you will also get 3 pairs of (differently sized) ear-tips, user manual, and a warranty booklet. The company has set down the price for this earphones for about Rs. 999. Design Now, coming to the design part of 1more piston fit, it is nothing new which we see in other xiaomi earphones as manufacturers are same. We get angled tips which feel way more comfortable when we compare it with a normal one. We also get three pairs of different size ear tips which can be used as per your comfort. The top portion you will get brushed metal finish which feels really very good and premium. The quality of wire is quite good and feel very rubberish. We also get a Single button and a MIC on it. We cannot control the audio volume while using the earphones as there are no volume buttons mounted on it. Space gray color suits 1 More Piston Fit quite well, and you can also get the some different colors. Audio Quality As we have already mentioned 1 More is the original manufacturer for xiaomi earphones, so the quality is same. The treble is good, but the bass side is little bit low. Proper Mid and High is everything a headphone needs, and when we see the case of Piston Fit, the sound quality is pretty good when we set the volume to mid level. Everything was perfectly fine, the only bass is slightly at lower edge. Overall, the audio experience that is being delivered by these earphone was pretty good. You can try any kind of music on these earphones, and they won’t give you any complaints. Verdict So, now the point is whether you should get one for you or not at the price or Rs. 999. Then I would say at this price this is going to be a decent buy. Pros Very comfortable for long use. Price I liked the brushed metal feel Cons Little bit low Bass Built Quality is average

Thousand people already wrote about build and looks. Just want to add that cable looks flimsy but it's not in reality. Though the beautiful metallic paint is very scratch prone. Sound: I bought this for 850rs.So my review is totally based on that price to performance ratio. Its a v shaped sound signature. Bass: a little bloated and boosted for my taste but in general a lot of people like this presentation. Slightly bleeds to low mids nothing disastrous for the price. Very nicely extends as well.packs a solid punch but lacks a bit of clarity in exchange. Mids: Moderately recessed mids, distorted guitars lack a bit of grittyness and bite. Acceptable vocals, not very distant like other similarly priced iems. Bit of sibilant as well when pushed very hard. Not for super loud listening , gets very pinchy bright. But you can't expect everything from a ultra budget pair. Overall mids have details, resolution and separations. Treble:Nice presentation of hats and cymbals when played moderate to high volumes. Gets a bit pinchy above that. Totally acceptable and accurate for rock pop etc but dont expect a french horn sound super realistic or a symphonic orchestra to exhale. You can't get that below 5k. Soundstage is cozy and intimate not at all wide. But enjoyable nonetheless for right type of music. I hate artificial widening of soundstage even in some expensive iems. Overall, y9u can't get any better under 1k.Extreme value for money. Not artificial sounding at all. Transients are fast enogh for this price. Presentation is energetic and exciting albeit v ahaped and colored. My first pair was a bit defective with unbalanced left and right vol but seller was extremely fast to gave me a replacement. Very appreciated. One more has become a new favorite audio brand of mine. Really eyeing on their premium offerings now like triple and quads.

So this is a fairly long time review. Bought this around February 2018. Got it for around Rs 900/- back then. Price has dropped considerably since then and at present can be bought for around Rs 700/-. So is it a steal? Bang for your buck? Read the full review and be a judge yourself. Now I’ve used some of popular earphones below Rs 1000/- and will give a comparative and concise verdict that might come easy. So for music parameters Bass: 3/5 Treble: 3.5/5 Mids(vocals): 4/5 Build quality: 5/5 Earcanal fit: 3/5 So clearly these are not the bass boosted headphones and you’ve to use equlaizer to get the best out of it. It can get quite bright (i.e. high treble) at full volumes but they are quite loud so that won’t be a problem. You’ll be good to go at somewhere between 50%-70% volume. Sounds pleasant there. *They sound great with my laptop when I play flac files on them. Handles them better than any earphones I’ve used so far. The Same does not apply to mp3 files though. And as my ratings suggest these are the best built earphones in this price range that I’ve used so far. But they do not exactly fit my ears no matter which ear tip I use. I always have to move them around to get a nice block. The Comply foam tips really came to help, but those were the least durable things I’ve ever bought, they just gave up in a month and I’m back to silicones and those little adjustments. The earbuds provided are of cheap quality. I am using tips from my old Jbl ones, fits far better. The kind of music that sound great on these are those which have a great acoustic range and vocals. I absolutely love to listen to coke studio sessions on these. Now coming to comparison with other notable earphones in this price range •Best fit- senhheiser cx180/jbl t 150a •Immediately likable sound and best for bollywood songs- jbl t150a, a close second sennheiser cx180. •Best built- as said earlier, this One More Piston Fit •Best overall sound, not immediately likable but after some months of using it, that is the taste that stands out and sticks in: Audiotechnica ath clr100. I frankly miss that sound.

I dont think you can get anything better than this at this price point. offcourse there are some shortcomings but again considering the price i payed for it i can always turn a blind eye towards all of those cons. 45 degree angled earpiece offers excellent snug fit and provides good isolation from external noise. The sound signature of these earphone is favorable to the vast majority of listeners. Its on the brighter side with crisp treble. Midrange sounds are comparitvely flat and bass is ideal but not head shattering. The sound signature is not accurate but bright and it can please the majority of listeners. Seems to be well made but cant really comment on it until i use for a few months. Overall at this price point i dont think you can get anything better than this.

Writing This Review on 20th June,2018. I purchased these earphones four days back from now.I would say that these earphones are really going to impress you.The Sound quality is very satisfying.I compared it with my Mi Capsule earphones which i was previously using and the typical Samsung earphones.I can definitely say that these sound way better than those,even Mi Capsule.You can take a look at the pictures which i uploaded.I gave these earphones 4 stars because of their build quality not for their sound quality.Wires used in the earphones are very thin,when you hold these in your hands it feels a bit like cheap earphones although the quality of wires is pretty good. One More thing to be noticed is there's no volume control buttons on the remote. Audio input from mice is also good. Talking about Bass.Here I would say that these perform very well.They don't have very heavy bass like Boat Bassheads(They only have bass and nothing else 😏 ). These Sound Way better than Boat Bassheads as well.The Sound is Crisp and Clear and its adequately loud(not very loud).I usually don't listen music at very high volume and previously i used to listen at about 40 to 55% volume with my Mi Capsule earphones but these earphones are not as loud as Mi Capsule,so now my volume level increased by 10%(not a very huge difference). I Compared these earphones with My Mi Capsule and Typical Samsung earphones. You Can See in these pictures. These are really good deal if priced under ₹900. All these pictures were taken with my Redmi Note 3. You can Judge them by yourself. Let me know if you want more reviews like this.

Cheap quality. Seems like some local Chinese headphones. 1. I used Sony mdr xb55ap in past, so, i actually don’t like the bass. It’s seemed nowhere near to it and it was not expected also as Sony xb55ap costs around three times of this one. (I love heavy bass, so it was a wrong choice for me) 2 though sound quality is good but because everything in the background is also clearly heard , at times, lyrics are not heard properly. 3 useless ear bud, all three were just popping out of my ears, was not stable even when I was sitting (the worst part). Could not even hear a single song continuously as it was falling again and again. 4 made in China, so I cannot expect much and also the price range. But it can’t be compared with MI earphones which I used, MI basic earphones were better than this in sound quality though bass was similar (but MI is cheaper than this one atleast) 5 as I am a music lover and my music taste varies with mood, I wanted earphones for different music including rock as well as classical. For classical this one Is fine but don’t expect even something from this, if you like to hear rock and metal, it would spoil the mood. 6 lastly, amazon delivery service was good, though I returned it the very next day, and it was collected within 24 hours of delivery, and I received my refund the same day it was collected. Thank you amazon for such an awesome and fast service.

Purchased the earphones on May 2017. Worked flawlessly. Excellent clarity and details. Notes are very sharp. A bit low on bass, yes, but rarely noticed it unless I wanted to. The boosted clarity and spectrum is too good to note the cons. After three months, left side started to fade out, could not hear anything from left earpiece. Customer support was very quick and responsive, got a new replacement unit free of cost a week later. Pros: - High range and spectrum, I could hear tiniest of notes - Equalized lows, mids and highs, all have approx. same gains - Clarity and details can be compared to higher over-the-ear headphones, courtesy of good driver - Sound does not stutter or crackle anywhere - Long cable (1m) - Premium feel and good aesthetics, color doesn't come off as far as I know. The metallic texture is awesome. - Responsive customer support - Extremely soft earbuds Cons: - A bit low on bass. But I feel bass and treble are equally balanced. A simple bass booster will help the bass lovers. - Earbuds are specific to 1MORE. Other brand earbuds are not compatible. - No water resistance, but at this price, who will give water resistance? - Noise isolation not completely perfect, due to soft earbuds. Earbuds tend to dislodge during exercise. It doesn't slip out, it gets loose inside the ear.
