What browsers have you tried it with?
Edit: Probably not browser related, I misunderstood your post, sounds more like an issue with your mobile number. Tried dropping the zero, like you would for an international call, i.e. 61 4xx xxxx?
yeah I found a few other ozbargainers had same problem recently in another thread
the trick is to sign up using this link http://passport.en.jd.com/user/facade and you dont need to enter any phone number at all
here's the post with people complaining of same issue: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/218876?page=1#comment
Had the same issue. The link above worked!
Yeh, I think you need to put it in its international format, +61 4xx xxx xxx
nah mate that did nothing either, I tried +61 then 61 then 04 nothing happens
but the other link to register doesnt even ask you for half the stuff anyway
I ended up using that link also for the 5c sale, the only downside is you can't enter any referrals.
Cheapest ever, by a decent margin. Great price.
weird - finally got it to sign up didnt even need to enter my phone number or anything
I paid via paypal, it said failed payment - my online bank showed the payment went through. JD site says awaiting payment. PayPal took 5 mins to update to show the transaction.
now I wait I guess it went through.
thanks OP
Order Status: Awaiting Payment
Addressee:
Total: $10.06 OFF
Payment went through, it said it failed on JD.com site and now stuck at 'awaiting payment' I messaged the seller with the reecipt in paypal.
I hate this site already
Similar thing happened to me with Ozgameshop, said pending even though Paypal was instant. Just wait for a couple of hours & it should update
Sorry - I found it slightly cheaper @ USD$9.14 on the same site!

EDIT: Was not able to complete transaction. Says unable to ship to my saved address.. doh. :( oh well used your link to buy it USD$10.06
I saw that, its listed under a different seller though whereas the one we're linked to is from JD itself. Kinda like how Amazon has multiple sellers
Significantly cheaper at buyincoins http://www.buyincoins.com/item/63665.html#.VmmhO7h973g ~$7.50 Australian
NOOOOOO! why did'nt you post this 6 minutes earlier?! LOL… good find… too late for me though.
good luck buying fake headphones m8
NO Retail Box with these fakes too
Unlikely to be buying as for travel i have mee a151 for quality listening and m6p and JVC flats for cheap dont care if i lose stuff and some great full size open and closed cans for home as well. Was just trying to be of help. Am a little tempted by the hybrid tho - best of dynamic bass extension and BA tops could be good, if they are a decent unit. TBH i was tempted at $7 but its just pointless with what i have.
They are garenteed 100000000% fakes look at the close up pics when you scroll down the page.
very crappy made can see how cheap the plastic is easy as.
the vast majority of the pics are on the xaomi site - the rest were on bangood's site too during black friday weekend. They were $8 odd at both sites at that stage.
The 2 videos look pretty good.
Obviously $10 is genuine and $7.50 cant possibly be tho lol. Not even from a site with a consistent rep as the cheapest.
This is US$10 after a coupon being used to drag it down from US$18 vs your AU$7.50/US$5.40 which seems to be the normal price. As I said there are many fake Xiaomis out there which makes the absolute cheapest suspicious. I trust Banggood a bit more than I do for JD but given JD's original price has me less wary & I could always launch a dispute
I'd be more worried if I was ordering from JD's alternative sellers
@backslashio: If you are actually worried buy it direct from Xiaomi for $14 http://world.tmall.com/item/26522664670.htm?spm=a312a.770082…
Its funny you see it as a regular price when it is a Christmas sale price tho. I guess the coupon tactic has something to be said for it
There's many fakes out there. I'm wary of them being too cheap
it does seem strange that doesnt apply equally to JD as BIC
oh - if you are REALLY concerned about fakes - Xiaomi themselves have a deal on the piston 3 for $14 (99 Yuan), so not really worth saving 30c to go to JD :) http://world.tmall.com/item/26522664670.htm?spm=a312a.770082…
well - whoever negged that has to be half witted - or p!55ed that they bought from JD rather than genuine form the manufacturer.
Such sour, sour grapes.
@mycosys: JD is the same as eBay there are many many sellers. But this deal is from JD.com itself, selling authentic headphones
@mycosys: Ftr it wasn't me - haha! Though it kinda does look like it since I'm the one replying to you
@Makoto: still dont see why you would take the chance when you dont save anything over buying direct from Xiaomi, which Xiaomi themselves say is the only way to know it is genuine. Do you have some proof for Xiaomi they are genuine, or are you just taking i on faith? I mean you say it with a whole lot of assumed authority, but zero evidence.
@backslashio: Dont worry - not into assuming, and it was pretty clearly a JD fanboy to think JD is a better place to buy than the manufacturer.
Are you sure these are the third generation? Doesn't appear to list it as such….
Judging from the pictures they're definitely 3rd gen even though the title doesn't make it obvious
Grabbed one (a pair?)
Thanks OP
Price went through as $14.30 through Paypal. Stupid AU dollar….
Shame the volume buttons aren't compatible with iPhone considering that's what I'll be using them for. Don't like the Apple earpods even the new ones fall out of my weird shaped ear canals & I've got some great seinheisner earbuds but they're closed noise cancelling & I want semi-open/open for bike riding
see below.
I find the Piston3 presses against my weird shaped ears.
Can't get the silicon bud in deep enough to be comfortable without the plastic body bottoming out.
Pity, because they sound a lot better than US$10 should.
you can change it so it uses your credit cards currency converter instead. they make it pretty difficult to do , but the savings definitely add up using a 28 degrees.
Hi guys. I ordered a couple of these when they had the 5c sale, both arrive but when I scanned the qr code to check if they're genuine, I got a sad bunny on xiaomis site ( they're fake) instead of happy bunny. Also they arrived with scratches on what's meant to be the metal part but its definitely plastic.
They weren't sold directly by jd but it was the main seller of these for the promo period, so you'd think they'd be legit. be aware.
That's weird.The two pairs I got from that sale were both genuine,a friend had the same experience.
Plenty of people commented about getting genuine ones on that deal.
How did you confirm they're genuine?
Scanned the QR and it took me to the confirmation page.Google translate/Own limited chinese comprehension and the picture of the happy bunny would suggest they were real.
@Talsek:
I did the same thing with 2 pairs and both got the sad bunny. One pair doesn't wrap around the grey bit properly too as one side has too much slack. Also done more research on them found the boxes to be fakes too. And like I said the back round bit that was meant to be metal came scratched and was definitely plastic underneath. All this and they sound worse than the $2 Woolworths headphones from previous deals.
But for 8c, not worth the complaint.
oh true… shall i cancel my order then?
Up to you, I messaged seller and jd. Jd didn't reply and seller asked if I was using them correctly, obviously not understanding what google was translating 'genuine' as. I wasn't too bothered as I only paid 8c for them but if I had paid retail I wouldve sent them back. Having said that these are from jd directly so I really couldn't tell you
meh, cancelled.
cheers 4 ya input
Not a problem
I've received my Piston 3 a couple of days ago.
I actually like the Piston 2 better, both in design, comfort, and noise isolation.
JD blocked my account temporarily, can't login atm & had to send them an email with my contact details :( Rgghhhh!
Think its because my paypal is different to my login's email address
This is the cheapest so far. Very good set of earphones I must say. A more premium brand could rebadge Xiaomi's products and charge a lot more.
BTW, I bought a lenovo flagship phone (K900) and it never got a single Android update in its lifetime, despite promising that it would get one. It wasn't even compatible with Android Wear smart watches, and I waited a year and a half for an update to enable me to buy a smart watch, and it never came, before I decided to finally ditch it for an S6.
I don't think I'll be buying any more lenovo products again. If they aren't going to bother updating a flagship, I doubt they will update non flagship products, so I'll avoid the tablet, despite it being a decent price.
damn, just paid $16.70 few days ago
Would these cheap chinese models be imitations?
Given Xiaomi is a cheap chinese brand, not all of them. Last i looked they were $14 (69 yuan down from 99) direct from the manufacturer anyway if you want to be sure. http://world.tmall.com/item/26522664670.htm?spm=a312a.770082… thats the Xiaomi store. So not much of a bargain.
Is Taobao trustworthy? How much for shipping?
Out of Stock now at JD! :(
Mine arrived. They were genuine. :D (Got the Happy Bunny)
Mine arrived today too! Can't wait til they're burnt-in!
cant seem to sign up to JD, put in phone number and it asks for verification code but i never get it….. doh
