3's are better than 2's (or at least they're a lot more neutral), but they already made a new pair that are the successor to the whole "piston" line or whatever anyways back in november http://www.gearbest.com/earphones/pp_261864.html

just to make sure, are these the same ones? its from the uk amazon, seems like it should be the same model, but maybe there exist different versions?

Looks the same but are from a different seller entirely, so i don't know if these are the real deal.

They're both sold by Xiaomi, I'd assume they're genuine
edit: whoops the seller seems to be either fewolfmall or LeStar, might still be worth a try though

Just in case anyone from europe is thinking about buying these, thought I'd sum up my experience:
Ordered on January 25th from fewolfmall, they just arrived. Everything is in chinese, as is the website that the confirmation QR-code takes you to, but google translate seems to confirm that it says they're genuine. The packaging seal had been opened, but the actual case that they come in was sealed, so take that as you will I guess. Pretty happy with the sound quality overall so far, the sound is very rich, but I feel like there is a bit of static (might just as well be the recording itself).

I also just got a pair of these a while back and I'm not really sure why there's so much hype. The build quality is really solid and I'm a big fan of the reinforced bottom half cord. The sheen on the earbuds/volume adjuster looks really professional too.

However in terms of sound quality these are pretty disappointing. I'm experiencing very noticeable background static when used with my computer and phone. Furthermore, the actual earbud cable transmits a huge amount of noise when touched/moved/banged etc. You can forget about using these while running or working out in general which is really sad.

Honestly I got about the same level of enjoyment using some random headphones I found in my family's junk drawer and I assume those didn't cost $20.
