These earphones are great and are available for a low price in the Gearbest flash sale. I know Gearbest isn't everyone's cup of tea but they've never let me down and neither have XiaoMi. Cracking deal for these earphones.

I have the hybrids and they are fantastic, best bar none. For the price I simply wouldn't trust another brand. Had mine over a year, accidentally washed them in the washing machine at least five times and they simply won't break.

Does anyone please know if the “Xiaomi QTEJ02JY Original MI Circle Iron Hybrid Earphone Headphone Headset Earbud In-Ear Remote & Mic-Silver Pro HD version” currently on Amazon for £27.98 are the same as the “Original Xiaomi In-ear Hybrid Earphones Pro - SILVER” currently on GearBest for £18.29? In the Q&A on GearBest when asked “if it was Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro HD?” The reply was “The item is Original Xiaomi In-ear Hybrid Earphones Pro”. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Just to answer my own question in case anyone else was also wondering
Just to answer my own question in case anyone else was wondering I found a short review on "Head-Fi" forum for "Xiaomi In-Ear Headphones Pro HD (2 +1 Hybrid)" who say "These Pro HD IEMS should not be confused with "Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro" which were released last year. To make matters more confusing, the IEMs on the chinese website are called "Pro" without the "HD". So the “Xiaomi QTEJ02JY Original MI Circle Iron Hybrid Earphone Headphone Headset Earbud In-Ear Remote & Mic-Silver Pro HD version” on amazon (which are £9.69 more expensive) are the same headphones as “Original Xiaomi In-ear Hybrid Earphones Pro - SILVER” on GearBest. This is also confirmed on the Q&A being the same QTEJ02JY model.

Anyone know how these compare to the Xiaomi QTEJ02JY Pro HD version?

Ordered these. I own the ones in the OP but find them a bit crap to be honest I find the tennmak's in ear at the best ones I've had so far.

think about this deal, and I'm having second thoughts. It only cost 5 pounds or so more to buy from Amazon with next day delivery and a full guarantee. Earphones are notorious for developing faults.. I am only writing because I just caught myself before buying.

These seem a weird shape, like safety earbuds to stop you pushing them in your ear too far, is there any issue with getting them in your ear?

Nope, they sit pretty comfortably compared to others I've used

Second set and second gone faulty, left side gone same as last one. I don't even use them that much, love xiaomi but twice it's just taking the ****.

Purchased these the last time they were on offer on Gearbest, poor performance, little in the way of base sound. Don't waste your money.
I know their over ear headphones, but I would recommend a pair of JVC Flats, fantastic sound, full rich base and very light weight, for very little money, they've been popular for some years now, still going strong.

Got a set of these a few weeks ago. Have been really impressed with the sound quality, well worth a punt for anyone considering getting a set at this price. Only real complaints I have would be the lack of a clip to stop the cable moving around and the lack of braiding to the buds (stops when the cable splits).

I've been using my Samsung earphones that came with my S& edge, can't tell you how much I hate them.

Any of these Chinese brands compare with the dual/triple armature Shure earbuds?

Seriously, underwhelming sound quality. 'Okay' but nothing more than that and rather artificial. Put these up against the CX3.00 or CX5.00 and the vast majority will prefer the warmer sound of the Sennys.
The one thing the Xiaomi do have going for it though is the build quality. Very well made, durable earphones.

Got these a few months ago and they are perfect for everyday use, excellent sound and build quality considering the price.

Loads of information online about this. Have a Google. The "AKGs" that come with the S8 aren't actually made by AKG. They're a generic Samsung earphone design where AKG simply did some sound tuning. As a result, they're very easy to counterfeit. They don't even sound that good, so people who aren't familiar with them can't distinguish the counterfeit earphones.
I've got both and I actually much prefer these to the triple driver ones!

To anyone who might not know, these are genuinely amazing earphones, I switched to headphones a few months ago, but tried the RHA £90 earphones from Apple, and these were on par, they're really good. Xiaomi also do the triple driver ones, they're even better according to my bro.
Just be sure to purchase from either Banggood or Gearbest as that way they're authentic, don't go onto eBay or anything as I am pretty sure you'll end up with fakes.

Actually I know taste is different for everyone but I think these amazing. I go to China every year and I am forever picking these up for people. These (which came out last year) to my mind also sound better than this year's triple driver version which are simply missing some frequencies in the low end all together. Theseare probably a little weighted toward bass but the overall these sound amazing, my favourite ear buds (and I have tested many including the KZ mentioned above) and this is great price. Hot

anyone looking for the AKG branded (but Samsung built and AKG tuned) headphones that come with the S8 - look to ebay
they can be found brand new between 15-20 quid average
I got a fantastic deal at only 1.20 shipped, but that's a one off

Really overrated sounding earphones. They have a sound signature that supposedly mimics IEMs but they don't sound very natural. Sound isn't warm or flattering either.

I think I've now got several pairs of these earbuds (from previous postings on Hotdeals) One pair was packed this way, however neither pair sounds good to me, too much midrange, not enough bass. So I don't know what the fuss is about, maybe my ears just don't suit earbuds.

I have some InAirs memory foam buds on mine, i think they improve the sound.

The dual drivers are great, bassier than the triples, but slightly lacking in treble so need a bit of eq boost there.

I recently ordered a couple of pairs of the new triple driver version from Banggood, which claim an incredibly wide frequency range. With the 20% discount coupon applied from the listing, they were about £17 each. I prefer Banggood to Gearbest. Until my son lost a pair of these dual driver ones recently, he was very impressed with them. It's a shame they no longer make the Piston 3's they were an absolute stonking earphone for an incredibly low price. The ones selling now on ebay are knockoffs, wasted £3 on a pair, muddy sounding junk.

Been really impressed with a pair of Xiaomi earbuds I purchased from Gearbest, and they didn't take long to arrive.

Yes the seal is important, I think, for the bass, mine fit well enough but still not enough bass to my mind
Hells bells! Inair foam tips are about £9!
