Wazzup Everybody? Let's play versus between two Earphones that are
popular here in the Philippines, on the Left Corner, from the land of
Apple, EarPods; Versus on the right corner, from Xiaomi, Xiaomi Piston-
Let's cut to the chase! Find out more below who will win!
We will go on three things: 1. Design and Quality, 2. Performance and Comfort and Lastly, 3. Price.
Apple Earpods
1a. Design and Quality
Apple Earpods has a Unique design that Apple have been researched about. This is great for the people who don't like using earbuds. But the design doesn't promised any Isolation but you can expect "unexpected" comfort from a pair of plastic earphones (which we will talk about later). I would give this a 1/3 for the design and quality

1b. Performance and Comfort
Apple Earpods do perform well although they design to hear bass, but I can't feel the bass at all although I heard it. But they perform well on Mids and Highs/Treble. If you don't mind hearing bass or deeper lows, Earpods will be good. The design gave a very unexpected comfort, you ears can still "breathe" but the sound performance doesn't affect that much. I would give this a 2/3.

1c. Price
Apple Earpods are marked around 1.5k Pjp on certified Apple Stores like DigitalHub, PowerMac Center, the A Shop, etc. I would still rant about the price but yeah, it's Apple, but overall + brand would still reasonable. I would give this 1/3

1d. Verdict
Apple Earpods delivers Great Comfort for a plastic build earphones, but the performance might be disappointing for you but If you listen Rock/Heavy Metal, it will be fine. Overall, this scores at 1.5/3

Xiaomi Piston (v2)
What will I expect more at Piston? They won a design award for this and they literally deserved it. The Gold-like design is pretty eye-catching and the Braided wires (well expect when you go to the earbuds), and the Plug. This gives a 2/3. Why not perfect 3? Not all wires are braided here.
This Pair of Earphones is overkill. It delivers a Great Bass, Decent Mids and Perfect Highs, It pickups pretty well like It came from a Digital Audio Converter (DAC). Comfort is nothing new on this although it also comes with different earbuds sizes (I have a small earholes so this is a big plus). This deserves a 2/3.
Let's get this straight, You get a premium design, customizable comfort, great overall performance, I was expecting this at least more expensive than EarPods, but no, way less than that. It only costs 645Php at Lazada.ph. Hands down, this is unexpectably overkill. 3/3.
Xiaomi, a chinese brand did pretty well for overall for a pair of earphones. Although the comfort is customizable but I like if ears are still can breathe (or a smaller pair of buds), but this promise a great set of Earphones for an affordable price. I give this overall a 2.5/3
So, that's About It, Apple Earpods was beaten by the Xiaomi Piston Earphones. Hands down, I'm agreeing with this.
