​Me to. Have a set already still in box. I like the box. Be a shame to get them out hence I bought another set :smiley: side note... Anyone with xiaomi note 3 don't update os. Will reset/wipe everything.. Wait a, week

I've had these headphones for nearly two months now; bought from gearbest for ~ £21.

They're really high quality and excellent headphones in my opinion; worth £100+ easy!

The only thing to be aware of is that these headphones have high impedance which basically gives you a wide sound filed (good thing) but it also comes with resistance. This means that they'll be slightly quiter than other headphones when played at the same volume. Not a big deal to be honest but worth mentioning.

I use them for at least 3-4 hours every day, during my commute with a OnePlus2 phone, Toshiba tablet and also with my laptop at work; couldn't be happier; well done Xiaomi - best headphones in the market under £100.

Nice, cannot resist anything made by xiaomi, such good quality and value for money.

Says £21, am i missing something?

Strange, I just checked again and it is £18.35 for me. Says email only price?

Ahh, if I put it in the cart it becomes £18.35. Cheers. Hot. You should change description though, so people know they have to click buy to see the price.

what are the reviews like on these and what can i compare them to?

What branded earphones are they comparable to?

Ordered Cheers mate triple watchamecallits :sunglasses:

What else is comparable to these for the money? Anything else worth looking at?

Had some gearbest points (still waiting for my Xiaomi laptop to arrive!) so why not have these to complete the set!

I really don't need another set of in-ears, but these can qualify as an impulse buy. Thanks :smiley:

what update are you on about and did it come through the ota updater app
i got an alert from miui forum app inviting me to update to miui 8 based on android N is this what you are on about

These are very nice. Had the 4 pistons and bought these not expecting much of a difference, but there is a noticeable improvement, and subsequently the Pro's have become my new daily pair. Great price too, have some heat!

I don't know much about audio and happy with simple headphones but you guys are selling it to me.

I bought a very similar pair Xiaomi earphones a few months ago from the same site. Took a while to get here from China as they came from China (maybe 3-4 weeks?) so don't order if you want them in a hurry!

The ones I ordered have dual drivers and a built in mic. Sound quality is great and the mic works well with my PS4 controller and hands-free on my phone.

Bought, heard good things about them. My JVC earphones are on their last legs with super glue holding them together lol.

If I had a quid for every pair of earphones I've bought over the years, I'd have a Lamborghini on the driveway.

impulse buy - love new headphones.
cheeps OP

Couldn't resist these, have a pair of Musical Fidelity ones which sound brilliant, but they lack the control buttons and I find I am missing ability to skip tracks without getting my phone out my pocket. I also have a pair of Xiaomi Pistons which are OK. Actually this will be my 4th pair bought via Hotukdeals.
I am glad these have gone hot now, as they seem a great deal for anyone not in a hurry for delivery.

Now that's another spare pair to add to the 3 spare pair bargains I already have thanks to this site......

I've taken the plunge after buying a set of cheapo beats in ear headphones every year or so for EBay (the ones that used to be packed with HTC phones) as the build quality on beats headphones is poor. Well, that and also trying to find non fake versions online is now a lottery. So have some heat!

Ordered :smile:

Thanks OP needed some cheapish in ear phones to drown out the people at work :smirk:

Think this is the same item on AliExpress for cheaper

http://s.aliexpress.com/7Bvi2uAZ

Both will have slow shipping

I just cant get these style of buds to fit in my ear and stay there. Desperately need a new pair but they're all like this nowadays

Have to say I was underwhelmed with these after all the hype. They sound OK, not great. Same kind of league as the soundmagic e10's.

They'll be a great upgrade if you're only ever using the cheapo sets that come with your phone, but not if you're used to something with a bit more oomph. Granted, that means comparing them to sets 4 or 5 times the price - the problem is that the reviews make you think you can.

Mine have gone in a drawer as my backup's backup.

Not compatible with iOS shame these looked good

The same earphone on there to match this deal is £21.36

what does triple driver mean?

I bought the Original Xiaomi Mi IV Hybrid Dual Drivers Earphones in January thanks to Hotuk.

The sound is incredible, infinitely better than any other in ear headphones I've ever used. However, they're also the most uncomfortable headphones I've ever used. I also find that they're not very good at sound insulation.

How do the Xiaomi triple drivers compare for sound and comfort?

​8.2.1.0 I'm on. Ota last night. Wanted password which I entered but it reset phone. Found out after its been happening to others. I to got the offer of android n after. Stuff that

I've tried loads of headphones in the past and they all eventually come loose or slip out my ear. I don't want to buy over the head type but I must have irregular ears I'm sure. Used all sizes of bud and even the sports around the ear don't really stay snug. I think the only solution is to have a screw thread and use a spanner :-)

Anyway do you know of a design I don't - not an expert and only casual user.

I can only suggest trying different tips until you find one that fits. Unless you've got unique ears, I'm sure there will be something out there!

What about something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/noise-isolating-flange-REPLACEMENT-SILICONE-EARPHONE-headphone-TIPS-EARBUDS-gels-/121129132266?hash=item1c33dbe0ea:g:x-4AAMXQHU1RwG9Y

Get tissue paper and wipe inside of your ear and then wipe your ear buds.... no more falling out. You might want to try earbuds one size up (that worked for me).

I think it's the amount hair that come out my ears :-) I was shown how to pull the ear before putting the buds in and that works best but not more then 15 mins.

Try large earbud.

Tried all sizes.

Love my original pistons but got tangled up and have had to cut the cloth. Also loose wiring losing sound in one ear. Latest best part of 18 months. Best price for them ?

Now you tell me! :wink:
That explains why my daughters phone had wiped (RN3SE, wifes RN3 hasn't yet). :smiley:

​Try putting earphones in then feeding cable forward then over ear and down the back of ear. You can tug cable and it won't pull buds out. Joggers tape to back of ears sometimes but I find that's not needed. That's one way. The other is to track down universal Earphone Grips. Various sorts that clip on your own buds and fit either in or over the ear. Like this.. Better pic than gearbest effort. Same though https://m.aliexpress.com/s/item/32478027934.html?trace=storeDetail2msiteDetail

Anyone knows the difference between Pro HD and these Hybrids?

​The xiaomi backup is fantastic. Turn it all on but not the photos as only 5 gig..I use Google photos for that .works fantastic as all put back. Home screen back. Apps sorted to folders. All reinstalled. Text Messages back :smiley: Takes an age to log in everything though after. I ain't rushing to update again. I'll wait

Praise to Xiaomi, daughters phone was as untidy as ever soon after thanks to the backup option. :smiley:

Thanks op
Voted hot, and ordered :smiley:

Try something like the monster victory - the buds are mounted on an axis that allows it to move and adapt to your ear canal, and the body of the earphone itself has what can only be described as a 'hook' that anchors it all in your ear.

Very comfy, never fall out (I use them in the gym) and sound quality is relatively good. Better than the Xiaomis

​have you had a try with aptx over Bluetooth. make sure transmitter and Bluetooth headset/ clip has it and you'll be surprised.
I refuse anything without aptx now, it's a deal breaker. also with the clip Bluetooth receivers, you can use headsets like these, not sure if mic headsets will work or just headphones/earphones.

Even added to my cart its staying at £21.00 :disappointed:

Personally, the Pro's fit better than the 4's. The 4's used to slip out easily with a decent cable tug or a bit too much head movement. These I have found to be more reliable outside the house

So how do they compare sound wise to the twin drivers? Some of the reviews on the Gearbest site say they have less bass, and I do love the bass!

​Bluetooth gets compressed so will never be the same sound as directly plugging in. You can convert any buds to bluetooth with something like https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00C9GEXXS/ref=pd_aw_sim_sbs_107_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RBAXC5H75J37N7TSEBCC&dpPl=1&dpID=41R%2BjOqGRSL

I have tried using the app on my Sony phone without signing in and it is £18.35 and using a different browser and not navigating the site via the get deal link is still £18.35?

Bought.... Damn you HUKD ! £18.35. The reduced price confirmed when you pay for the order (Paypal)... otherwise don't pay and the order will be cancelled.

How long to arrive - these are from China warehouse ?

8.2.1.0 is what i am on had ota for it last week i did not have any problems so you are on the china rom like me then not global or did you change from the global to china rom if you did thats probably why you had the problems

Hope these last longer than the dual driver Xiamoi's lasted less than a week in my laptop bag. Perhaps I was just unlucky. No complaints for gearbest cs took some time but gave me a full refund.

Very good, if you get a pair that don't fall apart... like mine did.

Mine lasted about the same. The internal wire breaks so easily. I'm rocking a pair a Betrons now... made in England!

​Got the international rom. Not changed it . Seems on xda forum some have reported the problem I have had. Probably won't happen again but good to here others never got trouble with update

I tried in Chrome via topcashback and also firefox without, and both times is came us as £21, even going through to paypal - still got them as I used the point earnt to reduce it by 80p and the extra £1.50 odd wasnt worth worrying about.

Hope they dont take toooooo long to arrive!!!

I found the sound too metallic, but otherwise, very good headphones.

One thing that always hits me with in-ear headphones is that my head starts to feel like an echo chamber. Tapping the wire often caused a dull thud to travel up through them as well - is this because I've been using cheap earbuds, or is that just a thing when using them?

I highly recommend trying out memory foam earbuds with these, haven't looked back since!

I get these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/C-set-4-9mm-Caliber-Earphone-Sponge-Comply-T200-T400-T500-tips-Headset-Memory-Foam-Sponge/32469980958.html

T200 is the size that fits with these earphones, if you decide purchasing from the link.

Hard to say for sure but I imagine the material of the cabling has an impact. It's not too noticeable with these earphones (have experienced a lot worse) but that's just me.

​It will make a noise if you tap cable. It's physics. Remember as a kid the 2 paper cups some very long string.

This triple driver HD thing is tripping me up.

Pro = dual driver
Pro HD = triple (dual+balanced armature)

Aliexpress,
Pro = dual driver
Pro HD = triple

Gearbest,
Pro = triple

So Gearbest have simply got the model number wrong? This makes the most sense since the listing refers to 3 drivers everywhere else. The video also shows the Pro HD.

​I did mention previously that it's marketed as such however it's the triple driver

how do these compare to the xiaomi dual driver in ears?

It's a great brand, been using the bog standard hybrids for a year and they are simply the best earphones I've used in 30 years. I won't buy anything else.

These are also a great sounding headphone with good reviews at under £20. Made of metal to so feel amazing!

https://www.lindy.co.uk/audio-video-c2/cromo-iem-75-dual-driver-earphones-p7075

This.

I'm also asking if anyone has both dual and triple drivers, and how they compare for audio quality and comfort.

From my ears the audio differences are the triple has less bass, better imaging, more detail, larger soundstage and is slightly harder to drive.
Comfort is different for everyone but for me the comfort is similar to the normal dual hybrid, the casing is larger and is still a narrow insertion. You can wear these cable up if you swap them around and support the T200 comply tips.

if by international rom you mean you have the redmi note 3 special edition version of the phone with band 20 support then you should not be on rom 8.2.1.0 MHOCNDL this is for the china version of rn3 the current version for the special edition with band 20 should be 8.1.3.0 MHRMIDI here is a link to the current roms for all 3 versions of the RN3 phones global ,china, and special edition link http://en.miui.com/download-301.html#449 if what i am saying that you do have the band 20 supported version of this phone and you did update to 8.2.1.0 then thats why it wiped your phone because its the wrong rom for that band 20 model

​Comply foam tips?

Look a bit like the Sony MDR650 which I got from a deal (£26) on here a few weeks ago. Happy with them but interested in these lol

great phones just ordered, heat added, this is the third pair i will have.

i have both and both sound terrific the tripple driver has a more fuller richer sound to them

​I'm on 8.2.1.0 MHRMIDL I'll look to see if that's correct. Thanks for information

just found this have a look link http://en.miui.com/thread-540670-1-1.html

​Thanks. Yeah, they got me! However. I was backup so lost nothing of importance..

How robust are they? I seem to pretty much destroy a pair a year whilst listening at work

Ordered a pair going off the reviews here, That plus I have a addiction to buying headphones and I just got refunded for a non delivered parcel in gearbest credit :smiley: Heat added.

Ordered.

Are these light enough to use for a long period of time?
I'm a fan of Creative EP-630's but having had 3 sets (last one got lost somewhere again), might give these a shot?

Anyone's status of order changed? Mine says error then when in go on Yodel it says not even with them yet

I've got loads of Xiaomi earphones including the Hybrids. They're "okay" - better than the cheap £10-£15 tatt you find in UK supermarkets etc but I wouldn't say they're great sounding earphones. Okay, not more than that. Build quality is exceptional though. Definitely built to last without the cables (kevlar braid) splitting.

If you want budget, have a look at the recommendations in the link below. He tends to overrate things a bit as his reference is the budget market but it's another option.

https://audiobudget.com/

I bought the Rock Zircon he recommended. Similar to the Xiaomi Hybrids. They're okay. Can't really complain for £12 or so.

They've widely been compared to other sets costing £100 or so ..

Only by people who don't know any better....

Quite a few earphones here that are similar to the Xiaomis in terms of sound quality and price.

Got mine today. Headphone sound really nice and the packaging is really slick.

Looking to order some foam tips now.

Got mine today too. As you say, great packaging and they look good but i have to say I'm not overwhelmed by the sound quality. It's not bad but they sound very light on bass compared to my SoundMAGIC E10s from Amazon (and I'm not a bass freak). Maybe it's because I am used to the E10's or maybe they need to be used a bit but preferring the E10s so far. Top and mid ranges are great. Will see how they go with more use.

​Mine came today too , really good quality and sound great , wasn't able to change volume using the controller through, only allowed me to , skip track , go back to previous track and play/pause (on android HTC one m8)

thats strange, mine controlled volume. Maybe you need to long press or something?

​Yeah I tried that , long press does nothing , very strange as manual says only iPhone does what mine is doing

I'm sure its dual driver, I own this pair

Really nice sound quality. Definitely one of the best sounding pair I have and feels luxurious. Good accessories to.
I think people need to check their devices to see if it's powering the earphones well and supplying it with a good source of audio.

Wore these for a few hours today , walking , jogging and sitting around and I am very pleased with them , build quality is top notch for the price and sound is clear and crisp but I can't help but notice the lack of bass , not a deal breaker for me but may be for others

Definitely lacks bass. Great low-mid range. Will try some of the apps people have suggested.

Which apps?

Mine has arrived and I don't seem to get as much bass as my bass-oriented JVCs with Poweramp.
For those still keen, I saw these Xiaomi's on Aliexpress for 14.xx yesterday. I paid £18.xx and its a grrr for me.

Could be worse mate, you could have paid £21 like I did !! :smile:

£21? Oww! My apologies. I should have kept quiet about the £14.xx for your sake. But I am looking at the spare unopened JVC xxx osives inears from Sainsburys or Currys at £8 clearance.
I remember about those Money back Satisfaction Guarantee. Where did I hear that from? Hmmm, whereis that Gearbest small print again?
