Yes

I got a refund yesterday, at last.

I bought the Piston 3 after giving away the Piston 2 to my brother. My first pair had a fault (when the mic button was lightly pressed upon the sound in the right ear decreased). I contacted Gearbest they said either pay for the earphones to be shipped back to china for repair or pay another $8 for another one. I didn't want the hassle of sending back for repair so i paid the extra $8 for the second pair. Took about 2 weeks for both pairs to arrive.
Since i got used to the fault of the original pair i sold the second pair on eBay and after 6 months the fault disappeared lol.
My advice would be to buy the Piston 2 (if you can find them) because they are better and more comfortable to wear.
Best thing about these earphones is the remote, you have the volume +/- buttons and the mic you press once to pause, double tap forward track and triple tap for previous track perfect for any Android phone users who listen to music on the go.

Only thing is they should do a model without remote as I don't need it and its annoying if you don't need/want it there

Bought piston 3 for £15 off Amazon with free next day delivery (prime) gotta say I'm impressed much better sound and build quality compared too my two pairs of £40+ sennheisers recommended tempted buy a couple at this price for Xmas presents just concerned if they turn up in time and if they're genuine :s

Woosh, straight over his head!

I wonder if they are original? They cost 4 times more directly from Xiaomi

60 days ? They cannot be serious ! The retailer clearly has an attitude problem.

There is no way I will be ordering off this retailer.

Me too - thanked me for my patience and asked me to wait 60 working days - that'll take me upto December

Remember, money makes the world go round..works for hotukd too.

yes i am one who ordered beginning of september headphones. still no sign and contacted them and they avised me to wait until beginning of november!

Xiaomi do seem to make some excellent products, definitely a brand to watch out for.

​Agree. I am starting a PayPal dispute today.

Yes I have 4 orders outstanding (doh) first and second orders arrived OK but as for the rest... filing a paypal complaint later...avoid!

Now I will give you heat.

i bought £11 2 months ago. dont miss

They probably want you to wait past PayPal's 90 day protection period.

I recently bought the 3rd gen Piston earphones from Gearbest, and selected to ship from the EU warehouse. Took a couple days for delivery and are great earphones for the price.

What's with all the Gearbest posts on here lately ?? Every one of them spawns a load of comments from people complaining about them.
It's certainly put me off buying from that company.

You mean like literally every other retailer on here? Every click you make to leave this site is an affiliate link.

The official chinese list price is around £8 from the mi shop china. Fake versions cost around £2.5 on the Internet. You can make your informed judgement.

Ordered mine that were despatched six weeks ago and they still haven't turned up. Aliexpress have been great but up to now Gearbest have been a problem.

I have been in contact with them (via their ticket system) and they suggest leaving it another two weeks.

Doubt that I would use them again.

Sorry OP but voted cold as a deal is only useful if you get the merchandise you have paid for.

£3.50 for me as I had some Gearbest points to spend, and there's potential TCB as well (pennies, but every little helps).

They've gotta be better than those nasty Skullcandy phones from last week :smiley:

i would vouch for pistons, have the gen 2's and once broken in sound really, really nice. only gripe was the in-line controls only worked for android but doesn't really bother me personally. Mine came directly via bangood.

Pretty much, unless the item is so cheap it wouldn't really bother you it not turning up or taking a month, then only buy items from these Chinese sites from their European based stock. And always with PayPal or credit card with purchase protection.

Otherwise, you're taking a gamble.

Tried a few pairs of these when I was in China a few weeks back, none of them compared to the £15 Sony MDRs earphones I regularly use (which have survived the washing machine and drier 3 times so far :P ), I'd say it's worth spending a bit more.

ah

wondered why such a flaky comapany is allowed on here seems like hukd happy to take a share of the shysters money

Think so. I get less sound from the left ear piece.

I have bought one from Gearbest. Received the item. Within a month one ear piece didn't work.
Not sure if I would buy again.

I wouldn't touch gearbest at all there the biggest rip off in the world I bought a android box from them it took a month and when I plugged it in it blew up I am still trying to get a refund and they don't seem interested

Bang on
HUKD gets paid for each successful purchase clicked via itself

Ordered from gearbest as a test in July, still not arrived.

bought a pair of piston 3, these are great. as long as they're the proper metal black ones. had them for months now, ordered from geekbuying on release day

ack .. the mic and in-line controls really put me off these types of headphones. i think it's a sure fire way of having the cable go sooner rather than later

Great deal of you can get them. Ordered mine more than a month ago and still not in sight
