I wanted to get some new IEMs to replace my Final Audio E5000 IEMs, and after several days of research, I purchased the FH3. After listening to them for a few days now, I can say I definitely made the right purchase. The audio quality and comfort are both superior to the E5000. The E5000 are...

I had to have my Q1 MkII replaced by FiiO late last year after less than a year of use for the exact same problem. The amp would become very warm during use (usually when plugged in and charging), until one day there was a noticeable pop sound from inside the amp. I unplugged it and noticed the...

So it seems the cable I bought 6 months ago to replace the stock cable of my pair of E5000 has adversely affected the E5000 monitors themselves. Over time, the connection between the replacement cable (cable #170 on hakuzen's list, a cable from Electro Acousti on AliExpress) and the monitors has...

The endcap piece (the piece with the Final logo on it) of my left monitor on my E5000 came loose in my fingers when pulling it from my ear! I'm not sure why or how this happened. I don't know how they're supposed to be secured with the main housing. Glue or some other kind of adhesive? I don't...

Sorry, I should've been clearer, the photo is just to illustrate the kind of chin slider I'm referring to. The cable I'm using is 4 cores. The slider's holes are actually too wide to be useful on cabling that thin. It seems to be a relatively common issue as I've seen it mentioned in this thread...

As others have noted, the chin slider on the cables from Electro Acousti aren't particularly useful. Mine is essentially useless. Has anyone figured out a helpful mod to make it function the way it should?

Just to update this thread about replacing the stock cable of my E5000 with one from Electro Acousti on AliExpress, I'll quote the post I made about the new cable in the low end cable thread:

I received the cable I ordered from Electro Acousti (cable #170) to replace the stock cable of my Final Audio E5000. The stock E5000 cable is unbalanced 3.5mm, but the two amps I use both offer balanced output, so I ordered the cable with a balanced plug. I've only been listening for about half...

Yeah, $200+ for that cable is crazy. Sure, it sounds good, but $200+ good? And yes, it's annoyingly stiff right out of the box. That's been my only real complain about it, but it's a big one. Just obnoxiously lacking in flexibility.

Thank you for the recommendation. I'd be willing to spend more if the cable is indeed high quality. If I mention @hakuzen in the "Leave a message" section of the order they'll offer a discount?

Where can I buy one from Final? I tried Googling around but came up empty handed. Does Final offer a balanced cable?

Thanks for the recommendation. I'd definitely prefer to buy something someone here has actually used and recommends, so I'll bookmark this. Something I've noticed while looking around AliExpress is that delivery estimates seem to always be around 3 weeks or longer, regardless of shipping...

I need to buy a replacement cable for my Final E5000 IEMs. I don't really want to spend more than US$20, so I took a look at AliExpress and was overwhelmed at the options. I did find this, which looks good: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32953432742.html Should I just go with that, or are...

Where can I get a replacement cable for the E5000? I had a mishap and the casing is cracked near the right side connector. It still works just fine, but I'm going to need a new one eventually. Edit: I'm actually checking out some cables on AliExpress. Might get this and/or this. The amps I use...

I was within the warranty period, just barely (less than a month left).
