Audio Technology and Design

The Mi Piston Basic headphones incorporate advanced design elements for enhanced audio performance and durability.

• Aerospace-Grade Metal Diaphragm: The diaphragm utilizes a combination of aerospace-grade metal and PET for a balanced and solid sound profile, optimized for various music genres.
• 3rd Gen Balanced Damping System: This unique system improves sound and airflow by separating airflow at the front of the chamber and allowing sound through the back, resulting in a mellow and transparent audio experience.
• Aluminum Sound Chamber: The earbud housing is crafted from lightweight, scratch-resistant anodized aluminum with a finely engraved CD-like pattern for a sleek finish and improved grip.
• Tangle-Free Flat Cable: The cable features an inner Kevlar wrapping for durability and an outer PET lining, making it smooth, resistant to bends, and less prone to tangling.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the ear tips with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, remove the ear tips and wash them with mild soap and water, ensuring they are completely dry before reattaching.
• Storage: When not in use, store your headphones in a clean, dry place to prevent damage and tangling.
• Avoid Moisture: While the cable is designed to be durable, avoid exposing the headphones to excessive moisture or liquids.

Troubleshooting

• No Sound:
  • Ensure the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted into your device's audio port.
  • Check your device's volume settings.
  • Test the headphones with another device to rule out a device-specific issue.
• Poor Sound Quality:
  • Ensure ear tips are correctly sized and form a good seal in your ear.
  • Clean any debris from the earbud grilles.
  • Check the audio source for quality issues.
• Microphone Not Working:
  • Ensure the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted. Some devices require a TRRS jack for microphone functionality.
