My second pair of these has also died in one channel, this time outside of the Amazon return window:( I wonder if it's due to me falling asleep wearing them and wax from my grody ears pooling into them, although that's never been a problem with other iems. Such a shame.

It told me I got a good seal with both the Apples and Spinfits. I dunno, I've been spending this afternoon listening to Bowie and Can on the 'fits and it was a good time :)

I just feel like a veil has been lifted with the spinfits. Could be fantasy though

Lost my right side eartip for these so got some spinfits. Definite improvement clarity-wise, quite happy.

Still loving these bad boys. Just had a listening session with Chemical Brothers, Stone Temple Pilots and Frank Sinatra (yes I'm a basic gen xer) and it was a good time.

I had my right side die too, but I don't know if it was a connection issue; when I swapped the cables over I still had sound in the left and nothing in the right. I've had my replacements for a month and they seem fine.

I’ve only ever experienced the microphonics issue when I had the cable under my shirt and kinda loosely hanging out my collar. When I let ‘em hang naturally (wink wink)there’s no problem.

From the moment I got them the sound in the right channel cut out on occasion, but came back when I adjusted the fit. I think I thought I just had an improper fit when this was happening. But then one day the right side just went completely dead. Got my replacements today. No problems so far...

The right monitor of mine died the other day :( Sent ‘em back to Amazon for a replacement, I loved them while they were working.

Got a pair of these yesterday (Amazon are selling them at AUD80 less than the RRP). Was slightly disappointed initially, compared to my now-deceased Xelentos they seemed a bit too thick and warm sounding. But after several hours of letting my ears burn in I’m starting to dig them quite a bit...

Got a pair of these today as I was sick of having to buy replacements for broken lightning to 3.5mm adapters. Feel like a mug for doing so but whatever. The fit is good and the sound is ok but a significant step down from the Xelentos I’m used to, but I expected that, I mainly bought them for...

Yeah this is me too. Nothing will be as comfortable as the Xelento but these feel pretty good.

These have been glued into my ears for three weeks now. I’m very fond of them.

I bought the FD5 as a replacement for my sadly destroyed Xelentos (couldn’t afford a new pair). They’re a little bulkier than the Xs but not too much though. It’s a more airy, wider and balanced sound signature than the Xs which I’ve come to enjoy. I don’t see myself replacing them, I think...

I've been using these tips that I got with my Oriveti OH500. Great fit, sounds beautiful with the FD5. I had an hour long train commute this morning and did not once take my phone out of my pocket, was just enjoying the tunes :)
