I'm thinking it's a "good enough" scenario where the cost of retooling to get it just right outweigh the profits earned before people eventually start catching on. And I don't own a pair(yet), these photos were taken from the ads I've seen on japanese auction sites, and this picture is the...

Why wouldn't it? I've never heard of a fake product trying to pass as genuine to not include everything that you would expect from it's real counterpart, doesn't make sense for the manufacturer to go through all the trouble to create fake earpieces for a high end IEM to just skimp on everything...

Fakes do exist, that much is for sure. https://www.dcfever.com/trade/view.php?id=6546156 The text is closer to the edges on the real ones, and the fake ones have "NO." Instead of "No." text. Some Amazon reviews are claiming to have received fakes. I wanted to double check with peeps on here...

Are these fake? Did the MK I's ever have the updated cable? The text seems on the headphones seem off too. I'm seeing these pop up recently around ebay and foreign auction sites.

The USB port just completely crapped out on me within a couple months of using it, I think the contacts are faulty since it requires minutes of maneuvering the cable in the right place for it to function

Got a Dorado for sale if anyone is interested.

Just wanted to say thanks to Forrest for sending out my replacement gaskets Express! Didn't think it would show up within the week.

What size comply tips fit best for the Dorados? The stock foam ones are too firm for my liking, also, anyone else getting uncomfortable amounts of air pressure in your ears when using silicone tips?

The form factor for this is incredibly appealing not to mention the volume/playback controls/mic. Anything similiar for android phones? 

  I don't think they ever sold replacement rubber gaskets standalone unlike the filters, would make sense that they wouldn't offer any spares. The best they could do was replace the entire driver under a warranty repair which I am out of.

  Also, replacement rubber gasket for the ULF filter. I love the FLC8s, but man it is impossible to get ahold of anyone to get some replacement parts.   LMUE doesn't offer it, I e-mailed forrest without any reply back, and I just PM'd him here, hopefully I get a reply.

  I wouldn't say easily, but it does chip off.

  Looking forward to it! Headphonebar has a pre-order sale where it's $200 off, and is stackable with a $40 coupon until April 7th, any preliminary impressions would be great.

Anyone have tried/have the Lyra II that can compare it to the FLC8?

Does anyone know if it's possible to get replacement rubber gaskets for the ULF filters? The one I had kept popping itself inside, and when I tried to pry it out I accidentally tore it.
