  I would mess around with different tips or try altering the seal you have with the current ones you are using. Burn-in helps tremendously! And what is your source?

 
Man, tips ain't gonna fix this sound signature. They're going up for trade as soon as I have the time to write up the ad.
 
Sources were FiiO X1, Nexus 5 and gamma2 to O2.

Wait.. What..? The spiral dots ARE the stock tips...

That bass will settle down with burn in, just give it some time and above all, enjoy!

Spiral dots definitely did not come with mine.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't come stock. Most of the guys from the other fx850 thread bought it post purchase

spiral dots are the stock tips, you can see them pictured as one of the selling points advertised with the item

 

[ohcrapgorillas]

The guy I bought them from on ebay swears these are the stock tips.
 
Anyway, I tried the foam tips that come with them and the sound was even worse. Will try RE400 tips tonight.

Ok sorry, my bad you're right lol
 
I've always skimmed the other longer thread and a lot were saying they were buying the tips but it seems they were buying it for other iems. I was actually going to buy these spirals so thanks - you just saved me $25!

I don't have the spiral dot tips, and the ebay seller responded saying that these are indeed the tips that came with the headphones.
 
How do I make sure that I got the FX850 after all and didn't end up with the FX750 or something? Most of the box is in Japanese and because of that I haven't inspected it that closely. The earbuds are huge and looked to be about the right size, but is there any surefire way of telling?

check on the cable, on the splitting point you should have the model name printed

Ah yeah, I do recall seeing the FX850 printed on the cable. The cable is removable, so not a 100% thing but also recalling the size of the units themselves I think they're legit. Weird I didn't get the spiral dot tips though. I was looking forward to those

Only 850 and 1100 have removable cables.

Are you saying you have a counterfeit fx750? Is there any picture please

Any chance of a close up pictures of the tips that came with the earphones? If they aren't spiral dot I would definitely purchase those and try them with the 850. Just put them on the burn until then
