Love the music player and call controls!
By Selvakumar Velayuthamon
First of all, more than the sound quality, I love the controls in the headset.
In music player mode:
Center button:
single click - play / pause
double click - next song
triple click - previous song
up button - volume up
down button - volume down
Incoming call
Center button:
single click - attend / end
click twice - mute / unmute
click and hold - decline
up button - volume up
down button - volume down
When it is not in music or call mode, you can click and hold the center button to open google now voice control.
Excellent!
Cons:
Pressing the correct button is difficult since the center button and the other two buttons are on the opposite sides. While we try to press the center button, we accidentally press some other buttons. I hope this will come by practice.
Worth the money you pay for this. The sound quality comparison is as follows, with all my earphones:
Tekfusion twinwoofers > Creative EP-630 = Xiaomi Pistons = Sennheiser PX80 > Cowon EM1 > Sennheiser HD 202 II >>> EP-600
Great Sound for Great Value

We got this model prior to release from ebay and we've been using this for a month..
Review -
Build Quality
The packaging is very nice and it is good to see companies taking a step in this direction...
The build quality is top notch with a gold and brown color scheme..
The kevlar braiding is a nice touch and it prevents the wire from getting tangled a lot...
The Metallic finish for the microphone causes disturbances easily if grazed during calls...
3 sizes of ear buds are included and they're quite comfortable....
Sound Quality
The sound signature is pleasant and fun sounding...
The Bass and treble are well extended... With bass notes sounding clear and articulate...
There is a lot of detail in the music and you'll definitely hear nuances in the music which you would have not heard in other earphones at this price point... The earphones have been tuned really well... and the bass is neither overpowering or weak....
The treble is not harsh and doesnt hurt your ear during long sessions.. Mids are slightly recessed but its something that didnt bother me much...
It has noise isolation is good, though the earphones leak some sound due there being small opening in the back of the housing...
Sound stage and instrument seperation are quite good for an IEM.
I found that Most Genres sound good in these earphones...
At this price point its a definite recommendation and i dont think anything is nearly as good...
Other Headphones and earphones i've used as reference are - Superlux HD681 Evo, Brainwavz HM5, Denon AH D320, Audio Technica M50, Audio Technica ANC23, Sony XB400, Sennheiser CX180, Sennheiser HD202.
We're in the process of uploading a review on youtube under Nitty Gritty Reviews.. You can ask us any questions there and we'll be able to answer them
For all those facing bass problems, stop writing immature reviews!

Most audio equipment( good ones) need a burn in period. That doesn't mean you take a burn-in tool and burn it for a full day or longer. That would definitely damage the earphones drivers as they are delicate in the beginning. burn it for ~4 hours (You could use the tekfusion burn in tool) and after some 1 hour listen to some songs from various genres ( its necessary). Do this for at least a week and them review this earphones, Please!
As far as the sound quality is considered you can't at all ask for better at all at this price range. The lows and highs are detailed enough but i'm more accustomed to over the ear headphones ( studio monitors), so i'm not experienced enough to compare it to other expensive in-ear phones, still they are good enough for me on the go. Rest about the product you people already know enough.
Please rate the review so that others get to read as well. Thank you !
P.S. I'm not responsible for the damage of your equipment in any way.
Still Waiting

Getting exhausted waiting for Mi3 accessories getting available... Accessories should be widely available...can understand about the handset but why accessories.. :( My Mi3 is getting month old and still not able to purchase Mi Accessories :( Flipkart plz make it widely available they are just accessories not Handset...
Simply amazing
By Abhay Sharmaon
These earphones give you the feel of a premium headset. Even though they cost 999, they sound like earphones 3-4x their price. To get the best results, first burn them for 10-12 hours at 50-75% volume, then their soundstage will open up tremendously and they will sound amazing.
The 3 eartips provided have varying properties...
small one: heavy bass, low treble
medium one: balanced sound
large one: low bass, high on treble.
They have a chocolaty smell in the packaging, don't miss out on that!
