    Hi Rep, do you have the ttpod t1 as well?

    For those wondering, these are regarded by some as some as the best iem's under $50. But no offense to banggood or anything, this model in particular is notorious for fakes, so I would be wary.

    It would be also good to know if these are the 2.0 or the 2.1 model.

    Hi Rep, just a quick a question, how can you guarantee these are the authentic and not fake ones with a huge mark up price? $17.99 USD is essentially the cost price, won't you be selling at a lost if including free shipping?

    I actually placed an order for the exact same model a few days ago for a total of $35ish including shipping but cancelled it since the delivery was too long. I'm glad I made that choice! If Rep can provide a good answer then I'll be sold.

    For those are interested, the in line controls are for ANDROID, so only one button will work on iSeries.

    ^cheapest and genuine considering they are official resellers of xiaomi.

    costs only USD$23. note shipping is 15-25 days.

    otherwise banggood is a preetty good deal if its genuine :3

    • kevorulez on 27/05/2014 - 21:59

      Thanks for the heads up. The original price on banggood of $26 is about the legitimate price for a genuine one (cost + operations + shipping + profit, etc), but anyone can sell a $2 fake for $26.

      I'm now slightly hesitant with the lack of response from the rep. It seems odd to post a deal at such a late time of day and not be around to answer questions. If you can post a deal at 7pm then why can't you hang around a bit more?

    This news just got in!

    Guangdong police seize fake Xiaomi products in factory raids
    http://www.wantchinatimes.com/news-subclass-cnt.aspx?cid=120…

    Quote: "Over 3,000 battery packs and about 15,000 earphones with the Chinese smartphone maker's brand were seized during the raids, with the counterfeit goods set to enter the market in Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei district, the most prosperous and influential consumer electronics shopping area in China."

    So I am a bit worried about getting from vendors that is NOT from xiaomi it self.

    Also according to Xiaomi wiki
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaomi

    Xiaomi has no retail stores nor does it partner with third-party distributors. Instead, all Xiaomi products are sold directly via the company's website.[60]

    Hi guys - unfortunately I just received mine and I'm not sure if they're fake or genuine. They have a smell like chocolate, but they do not come in a cardboard box? It's the original Xiaomi, not the upgraded version because there's no shirt clip.

    EDIT: I'm pretty sure these are fake. They have the same barcode on them like all the fakes and no cardboard box. The barcode is 218400120511. However, I'm a complete noob at this so if anybody else got theirs and want to hopefully say that I'm wrong, feel free!

    EDIT2: So I was really curious and popped one of the buds out. They actually look like B on the inside, so I guess they're real earphones in dodgy packaging or something.

    http://chinandroidphone.com/ecouteurs-xiaomi-piston-fake-att…

    • Circly on 05/06/2014 - 20:39

      hmm thanks for the reply. We shall wait and see. Hopefully mine come in tommorow otherwise I will have to wait for the weekend.

      The pictures show a shirt clip so you really should be getting one. It also says a clip is included in the description. Maybe they sent you the wrong pair? I would contact the seller and see what they say.

      Anything else that makes you think they are fake?

      Edit* looking at the banggood site I see something interesting. The pictures at the top seem to indicate the 2.1 version (has S, M, L where the ear buds are). The description says a clip is included (further indicates they are 2.1). However, the big images after the description seem to indicate 2.0 as there are musical notes instead of the S, M, L where the ear buds are.

    • Rhubarb Jones on 06/06/2014 - 12:52

      From your link I'm leaning more towards fake than genuine. But I'm no expert either so very interested in others thoughts.

  • Rhubarb Jones on 06/06/2014 - 12:41

    Hey guys. Just received mine. According to this video they are fake :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XncOP0545bI

    The packaging mine came in is exactly as shown in the video. Furthermore one of the 'rubber' buds has a split/tear in it :(

    That said they do sound quite good.

    Interested to hear others thoughts as they receive them.

    EDIT:- Another thing, my voulme up / down are back to front. The bottom bottom is volume up (should be down) and vice versa. Not looking good.

    • Rhubarb Jones on 06/06/2014 - 14:07

      Ok these are either definite fakes or they are the version 1's, not the version 2.0 / 2.1. Doesn't really matter as the advertised product were the V2's, and this was clarified by the store rep in the comments.

      So disappoint!

      • Circly on 06/06/2014 - 14:17

  • Feepitee on 06/06/2014 - 16:52

    These are definitely fake. No cardboard box, the exact same serial as the one in the video above etc.
    They sound awful even compared to stock Xperia Z earphones, very boomy and muffled, and also have no left or right markings. For those convinced that these earphones sound good, go buy another pair of earphones that aren't the supplied iPhone or Samsung ones, they will blow your mind. I will still burn these in, and see how they go.
    The supplied size of eartips also do not fit the earphones, only the default ones do.
    The volume buttons do not change the volume, rather, both buttons simply move to the next song on my HTC One M7. None of them go back to the previous song, both of them only go forwards.
    I will definitely approach banggood for a refund on these, for everyone else, buy from ibuygou.

    • Feepitee on 06/06/2014 - 17:37

      Okay, I found the markings. They've somehow been slightly rubbed off and are very faint at the plastic part of the earphone.

      • Rhubarb Jones on 06/06/2014 - 18:13

        Same. These are definitely fake - or at the best the version 1's. Are the ibuygou's one definitely legit?

        • Feepitee on 06/06/2014 - 18:16

          I think the serial code removes that version 1 theory, and there's been plenty of people from the internet buying from ibuygou and they've all turned out to be genuine (ibuygou is after all an official Xiaomi Reseller). Wish I didn't try to save that extra few dollars and went with them in the first place.

        • Circly on 06/06/2014 - 18:52

          unfortunately my earphones didnt arrive today. The seller seems to have logged on today but still hasnt replied to my private message. I asked them to reply to this thread too.

          Sucks that Monday is a public holiday, meaning I will get my earphones on Tuesday the earliest. If they turn out to be fake then negs on site for all banggood threads and will paypal dispute for a full refund.

          If possible can the people who have already received them take some photos and link them here? Maybe also make a thread in one of the forums (maybe electrical & electronics)

  • sifun on 06/06/2014 - 21:34

  • firefly2k3 on 16/06/2014 - 20:07

    Had bought one for my wife and received it last week and they definitely seem to be the real deal.
    They are light gold color and build and sound quality is excellent. My wife likes it better than the Sennheiser she was using previously.
    All controls work perfectly with my Galaxy S3-4G.
    The volume controls did not work on my wife's HTC One (M7), they skipped tracks backwards and forward instead.
    But I installed Jays Headset Control and it works flawlessly with Poweramp. The stock HTC player still skips tracks. So it's clearly HTC's problem, not the earphones.

    I was so impressed with them that I came here to get a pair for myself if the deal was still on.
    Now after seeing all these comments from members who have been unfortunate to get fake ones, I am not so keen on taking any chances ordering another one.
