Not intended for gaming.

Currently looking at

  • Xiaomi Piston 2/3--seem to be out of stock everywhere but the sketchiest of places
  • Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro--can't tell if these are the same as the Hybrids or not; are they any good?
  • Brainwavz Delta--had them, lost them; seemed pretty good
  • Apple EarPods--aesthetically the best, but they are pretty fragile

Mostly interested in the Pistons, any legit links would be highly appreciated.

Superlux HD688B's with Velour pads is the way to go. I have mine for a while now, very pleased.

I've been using these for a while now.
Nice, cheap and they sound great. They aren't the most durable but if you are just using them w/ your phone or whatever to listen to music it should be fine. I've had mine for a few months now and they have yet to give me any trouble.

You're gonna have a tough time finding legit Piston 3's, lots and lots of counterfeits out there.

As for a recommendation, the Panasonic Ergofit RP-HJE120-A are a really cheap, really good sounding earphone. They're not very durable, however they're quite inexpensive (can be had for less than $10) so if they break it shouldn't be a huge deal.

These are actually really good and they are super cheap. The sound quality is better than a lot of other earbuds I've used that cost a lot more, and you can buy like 2 or 3 of em at a time in case they break or something. I think smaka or someone used to recommend these all the time.

just remember earpods have literally no sound isolation. i highly recommend the piston 3's or the m6 pros over the earpods any day

I ordered my Xiaomi Piston 3's off Amazon recently, can confirmed they were legit. The reviews were polarizing, so mileage may vary but Amazon is your best bet right now.
