    What are the Xiamomi earphones in this pic called? https://imgur.com/a/24Kzo
    If you zoom in and look closely where the cable connects with the phone, it is woven, and that type of cable doesn't entangle unlike other earphone cables. I bought one of those in the past, but have no idea what it is called.

    • Vyro on 18/10/2017 - 23:12

      Looks like this is the one in that picture. There was a video in OP's link and they mentioned the woven cable material.

      • AussieDaddy on 18/10/2017 - 23:43

        Thanks.

        Edit: I've just watched the video on the link and these ones seem to be slightly different than the old ones I had. Those had entirely woven cables, whereas these ones have half woven and half plastic cable. And the controller was different too.

        Serious. I genuinely thought they only made toothbrushes, vibrating mops, smartphones, fit bands, notebooks, ball pens, power banks, air purifiers, action cameras, water purifiers, rice cookers, drones, vacuum cleaners. You know, those sorts of things, not earphones.

        • Salmando on 19/10/2017 - 21:17

  • zaqwsx3 on 18/10/2017 - 23:21

    I've had a pair of these for about 9 months now - build and sound quality are excellent. I'd definitely get another pair. My only gripe is with the cable which is protected by a paracord material, and after a while the cable got a kink and ended up bent under the paracord. I had to get scissors out and cut the paracord away to release the kinked cord. YMMV.

    • AussieDaddy on 18/10/2017 - 23:44

      Paracord? Are they the woven ones or made of another material? https://imgur.com/a/24Kzo

      • zaqwsx3 on 19/10/2017 - 09:37

        To me, the sheathing looks similar to paracord in the weave, but its still easy to cut through. Just be careful of kinked wire issues as what dingdong3000 notes below. I had to cut away the material to straighten out the kinked wire - here's a pic. Regardless, the quality is excellent for the price.

    • beeze on 19/10/2017 - 00:55

      I've had multiple pairs and recently purchased another incase one set dies. of my dozens of iem's, these are the best behind the Sony XB90EX which are no longer made and the few remaining pairs sell for hundreds.

      • Relsierk on 19/10/2017 - 07:47
        +1

        I have to agree with noone025. I am an earphone person and have used countless earphones in my lifetime, but none tops the Sony XB90EX. I am still using the XB90EX, bought it as a Japan import 3 years ago, still using it everyday and still running like new. Sadly, they stopped producing it, and whatever units left in the market are being sold at a premium hundred-of-bucks price.

        If you can get your hands on a Sony XB90EX, get it. I am still looking for one as a backup unit.

        • beeze on 19/10/2017 - 19:16

          Yeah, was gutted when one driver stopped working.

      • hhflames1 on 24/10/2017 - 12:53

        Was gutted when I left my Sony XB90EX on the train 2 years ago. Can't really justify shelling out another $500+ for another pair. How do the sound quality of these compare?

    • beeze on 19/10/2017 - 00:56

    I'd recommend these for anyone that wants a decent, cheap pair of earphones.
    I have 2 pairs, I use one for basic gaming and one for everyday use and they are absolutely perfect for both.

    Music is great, comparable to $50 headphones from JB HIFI.
    Gaming is as good as a pair of $20 earphones can get :P Absolutely fantastic for what they are, I haven't had a proper pair of gaming headphones so can't compare to that, but they work great for a casual gamer.

    The only thing I've had gone wrong is that I put one pair through the wash and the cord frayed a little bit near the jack, but other than that it works perfectly!

    • beeze on 19/10/2017 - 00:59
      +3

      different sound signature. I have both, the pro's are much flatter, not a sound signature I enjoy. these for bassy fun, pro's for a more clinical ear.

    • pinchies on 19/10/2017 - 10:33

      These have a warmer sound, and a more relaxed sound signature. I personally prefer this sound.

      The Hybrid HD Pro has a brighter sound overall, with much more detail in the highs - but they can almost become fatiguing due to the very active treble - especially if you haven't broken them in yet.

        Did you completely miss yesterdays / 2-days ago gearbest deal or something?

        And extra comment thread to complement the complaints raised in that deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/5166527/redir

        • lyl on 19/10/2017 - 01:40
          +11

          Through looking at the reddit threads and the ozbargain comments, the case appears to be like this (correct me if I'm wrong):

          1. The only product that seems to be affected by fakes are the Xiaomi Hybrid Pros (not the Hybrid IV in this deal)
          2. Gearbest/Banggood were both affected (seems to be a supplier issue)
          3. Only Hybrid Pros from after a certain period were fake (when the bad batch were received), people confirming that they have received Genuine Hybrid Pros previously from gearbest

          I wouldn't claim that they sell fake Hybrid IV (or any item apart from Hybrid Pros), as gearbest have a history of selling genuine Xiaomi items. Just counted gearbest deals out of boredom, and between Aug-Sep, there was a total of 51 Front-Page Gearbest Xiaomi deals here (23 in August, 28 in September) of other earphones, powerbanks, lights, fans, cameras, fitness trackers etc. You'd think there'd be outrage on ozbargain if those who bought from these deals has received fakes of a range of Xiaomi products, but so far there have only been reports of fake Hybrid Pros.

        • Blitzfx on 19/10/2017 - 02:05
          +3

          @lyl:
          It just shows both don't have any sort of supplier quality verification or testing / guarantee. Who's to say they check whether these will be genuine or not? Or if consumers here know they're getting conned. I mean, sound quality might be somewhat close but you're not getting what you paid for.

          Doesn't help that there's too many complaints about shipping and refund issues.

          I have my own complaints about their service, but that's for another day since it doesn't have anything to do with fakes.

        • lyl on 19/10/2017 - 02:16
          +2

          @Blitzfx:

          Or if consumers here know they're getting conned. I mean, sound quality might be somewhat close but you're not getting what you paid for.

          Most Xiaomi products come with a QR code or a verification code that you scratch off and verify on Xiaomi's official website. So a fake seller would easily get caught.
          A few images from a quick google:
          http://gdetail.image-gmkt.com/729/716053024/2014/7/420eafc2-…
          http://i.imgur.com/fi6XfTW.jpg

          I think 51 front page deals in the last two months (and an insane amount of deals before that as well) of a whole range of Xiaomi products which all turned out genuine (except only one case recently on one product, the Hybrid Pros) is a good indication that Gearbest has a history of selling genuine Xiaomi.

        • Blitzfx on 19/10/2017 - 08:58

          @lyl:
          When you buy ANY product anywhere, what signs do you look for that tell you it's fake? Most people don't go out of their way to verify what they bought is fake.
          You go out and buy wagyu beef for dinner, your expectation is that it's actually wagyu beef, not angus or any other. You aren't about to go and start taking photos and entering the back kitchen to trace the source of the beef to confirm it's actually what you're getting.
          Most people don't know the difference, and because they don't, their experience is essentially of the restaurant telling them "yes, what you put in your mouth is wagyu". This is gearbest telling you "yes your shitty hearing experience is actually genuine Xiami IV Hybrids".
          The first thought isn't "did i just buy a fake", it's "Xiaomi sell crap headphones".

          With electronics it's easy to go google "how to tell if [product] is fake", but that's just not what people go and do for a cheap pair of headphones.

          An even better example is people selling 'brand new' phones that are actually refurbished. Unless you go out of your way and check, you're never going to know that the performance of the phone is already degraded. It's like rolling back the odometer of your car 50,000 km

        • lyl on 19/10/2017 - 09:39

          @Blitzfx:

          The average Ozbargainer is a bit smarter than the average consumer, I've seen a lot of cases where a Xiaomi deal from a questionable seller was posted, and the first comments were 'are these genuine? has anyone bought from them before?', followed by a 'yeah they are I've bought from them before and verified on Xiaomi website'. It also helped that alot of store reps posting Xiaomi deals going tired of people asking that question, and started mentioning in the description of their deals that the product will come with a verification code.

          I knew about the authentication code since last year, not from ozbargain, but from the fact that it's really hard to miss it on the packaging, for powerbanks at least as the entire packaging is white except for the gold verification section with the grey part to scratch.

          So far many people have reported that their hybrid pros are fake, but we have yet to see one report of another product. You'd think everyone on ozbargain/Reddit who saw these threads would not only check their Hybrid Pros, but every single Xiaomi product they own? Yet only some of the hybrid pros are affected. Even if 1% of buyers know about the verification methods, it will be enough considering the volume of sales gearbest receives, as one report will start a chain reaction of people checking their products.

      depends how you store your them I know cause thats what happened to my old Piston 3s when i just shoved it into my pocket all the time. If you do loop it try not to do small loops the same thing will happen.

    • beeze on 19/10/2017 - 01:00

      Can confirm. Love these headphones but had the same issue with mine.

  • chillipaste on 19/10/2017 - 00:39

    I also don't recommend these. Sound quality is actually not bad, but it doesn't provide a great seal around the ear. Bass is not strong enough for my preference.

    And it is not ideal for sport, the seal and the design means it will easily drop out of your ear.

    Received today, can also confirm that they are genuine. QR code takes me to a unique link of the Xiaomi website saying that it's genuine, which made me wonder what if fakes can just copy the QR code and pass it off as genuine. Refreshed the page a few more times and now it's giving me 'authentical failed', so I guess Xiaomi limits the amount of times the link can be accessed, to prevent fakes from copying genuine QR codes.

    Thanks OP and gearbest for the great deal
