Those silver ones look like they could be a legit newer version, but they weren't around when I ordered my pair. Best option is probably to look for another site that still has gold ones.

You should be able to find a couple sites from the most recent pages from that thread.

Finally got my 2 pairs (Silver and Original) I ordered from ibuygou.com today. really happy with these earbuds. great sound.
I ordered these like ~2 weeks ago
If i had to purchase these again. i don't think it will be from ibuygou. as their site is really shitty/shoddy and the support emails use words like "pls" which just seems sketchy and really unproffesional. but however, they did deliver with the goods in the end so yeah proceed with caution I guess?
Now I need to figure out how to get front facing Audio jacks on my case. but my main Intention for using these was for my phone. Im happy either way.

maybe I'm posting on the wrong thread, but if I were to get these earbuds, what mic do you guys recommend getting, what works with what with these

snowball mics tend to be fairly popular stand alone mics. good quality mic and build, but some people don't like a big mic on their desk lol. however, if you don't mind the size of the mic, you might want to look into it. in addition though, the price of the mics tend to be in the $60+ range so you might want to take that into consideration if you have a low-ish budget.
holidays are coming up though, might want to see whether or not there will be deals in the near future for them.

I just got my pair from enrgo. After looking at the box and comparing it with a real one i'm pretty sure I just got hoodwinked.

Just bought 3 pairs for really cheap($15-ish each), and having checked out the various supposedly tell-tale signs indicating a fake, in addition to sound quality, they seem to be the real deal.
Just to be sure, does anyone know if the fakes are also made of metal?

Sorry for the necro. Does anybody know anything about warranties/returns for the headphones? I bought them from the link in the original post, the sound quality was good, but they broke within 2 months of buying them :/
I'm considering switching to the cx300'same for my next pair.

Has anyone tried the III's yet? I only see 2 sellers from this on amazon.

They are really good but not as good as the II's. If you look hard and have a good eye for fakes you can still get II's from china. They stopped production to make room for the III's, all thats left is existing stock. I ordered 4 pairs that just arrived yesterday. I'll link where i bought them after work if they have any left.

Didn't buy them off amazon but the pistol 3s are pretty solid
I prefer them to the 2s especially because the left and right sides are distinguishable since there is a volume control on the right and they arent straight like the older ones
Edit proto if you're comparing the 2 and 3 it is assumed that you're not talking about fakes of either one lol. imo the sound quality is better on the 3s

+1 for the 3s, been using them since November. Really good sound quality and playback controls are pretty useful

I got the 3, and they're really good compared to my previous experiences in the price range. I never tried the 2, though.

My left earbud died but due to the low cost I bought both a 2nd and 3rd gen as I wasn't sure how the 3rd would feel. Kinda wish I bought another 3rd gen as they definitely feel comfier.
