What can be heard for 450 rubles?

As it turned out - a lot. Despite the low price, the basic version of Xiaomi Piston came out very good. If someone missed them, pay attention.



In fact, first of all, we ourselves missed them: for the last year, I hardly remember at least one wire copy that I have ever heard. There were Thor , which are both wired and wireless at the same time - and only.

With Xiaomi, everything is both simple and difficult: usually everyone knows so well what they do there and what it represents in quality. And, nevertheless, if you want, then Piston can be scolded: for example, my interlocutors seemed a mocking sound through a microphone. Apparently, there is no filtering noise, and, therefore, on the street to speak - not very.

But the sound "inside" is almost excellent. Having driven them through numerous sound generators-tweeters, if you take out the average, then the low frequencies are quite clearly heard from 20 Hz, without “dredging” and “jitter”. High begin to fall silent in different programs from 17000 Hz. Somewhere a slight "squeak" still catch on 18000. The manufacturer shows a range of 20 - 20000 Hz.

Basically they are quiet and even deaf. However, all problems are smoothly smoothed by the equalizer. Headphones give a good different sound, but at the same time the nuances are heard clearly. For example, if a drum is beaten with a brush, then it is not to be confused with a bucket of sand.

In the preset equalizer, a very bright sound was obtained in the “Live”, “FullBass”, “Rock” modes. Of course, if you set everything to the maximum manually, then wheezing is unavoidable. Some sources claim that an innovative “damping system” is used to reduce the “jitter” effect and suppress distortion.

Headphones are sold in a branded small box, the size of a smaller pack of cigarettes.

Inside, apart from the Piston themselves, there are two options for interchangeable ear cushions. Total - three.



Despite the fact that the headphones are wired, the main disadvantage of this design, they are deprived.



They really don't get confused. This is achieved, firstly, due to the shape of the wire - it is flat. And, secondly, it is quite flexible due to the fact that it is braided inside with Kevlar.



The length of the wire - 1, 25 m. It seemed not very convenient.

Design of the model, again, despite the price category came out "prestigious." Xiaomi makes the headset with 1more design , so it’s difficult to say for sure whether the Piston’s merit is only Xiaomi.

Surprisingly, the speaker housing is recessed into aluminum, which makes them light and durable.



Although for a great cost more often you deal with plastic. On the part sticking out of the ear there is a pleasant “hypnotizing” texture.



The speaker is protected by a grid. This is important to mention, because more than once we were faced with a problem when this part of the earpiece was a regular cloth sticker that flew off in a matter of minutes and left a hole.



On the wire that leads to the right headphones, there is one active button and a microphone.



The presence of one and the other in this model is controversial: the microphone, as already mentioned, is not super cool. And, in fact, remains monofunctional: Play / Stop.

The process of setting up the equalizer greatly simplifies connecting Xiaomi to Xiaomi. Headphones are immediately recognized, and the user can go to the equalizer, after he selects the desired headset from the list of suggestions.



So, if you do not take into account the microphone, which I did not like on the street during drafts, then this is a great model. Add to this the price tag up to 1000 rubles , and voila: a model for four plus, if not the top five.
