    FLC Technology FLC8 and FLC8s Impressions Thread

    WIt seemed a little expensive for what they look like, but given what they do it seemed reasonable. But I will definately treat them more gently

    They must like you better! Or there was a recent change in price.

    FLC Technology FLC8 and FLC8s Impressions Thread

    LUME quoted me 30 sgd including standard shipping 2 weeks ago, and another 30 sgd for the stock cable. Like you wanted a spare set of filters all seemed reasonable to me.

    FLC Technology FLC8 and FLC8s Impressions Thread

    I'm glad the information was helpful, they definately do detail very well and I really like the bass response. I don't hear the difference in sound stage, but I think that it may be part of the Fiio X3ii limitations which means ( as others have mentioned ) it may be time for a new dap. But...

    Great input on the daps. Money is always an issue at some level. I have thought of moving to the Fiio X5ii, more from the idea of being comfortable hardware and software layout. I'm just not sure if that would be as much of an upgrade as I think it would be. The Mojo has come up from a couple of...

    FLC Technology FLC8 and FLC8s Impressions Thread

    A new dap isn't something I have thought to hard about. I started with the Xduoo then went with Fiio X1, X3ii or X3 with amp which worked fine with all the budget-fi mix of earphones.I've been pretty happy with the mix. Now that I've jumped to some mid-fi or a little better mid-fi, it's probably...

    Recieved my FLC single crystal silver upgrade cable. For back ground, I have had the 8's for a few weeks now and while the sound is nice, the stock cable ( mine came without ear guides ) had me using it less and less. I decided since I had to order a new cable anyway I'd try the upgrade unit...

The upgrade single crystal is listed amoung there product listings. I ordered the silver cable through them . I did buy the Fiio cable and it doesn't fit...

    All great points, I'll start with the stock cable ( came without ear guides) is not comfortable for me. Second was I purchased my FLC8 on Amazon through Music Teck ( the us vendor) and not for me my prefered vendor Lume. He had none of the other stock cables available including the silver...

    I picked up the Fiio ue2 cable. It's nicely made reasonbly priced supple, but really dosen't fit. The pins are spaced fine but the diameter of the pin would only allow insertion a few mm before resistance was to great to be comfortable forcing it.

    Havi, yes if the work for you are hard to shake. One of those '"first steps" into a next level listning experiance for many. I do admit I still have two pair floating around, that I use regularly.

    Did he work on the Havi? That does explain some of the design concepts and sound. No the cables aren't good and honestly a problem that grows with time. The cable on mine does't have earguides so the chin slider simply drive the cable more uncomfortably into my ears. Plus being a glasses guy...

    awe man, you just had to ask! I am a huge Havi b3p1 fan especially the sound stage, it's huge and is still my go to comparison iem and a signature I look for in other iems. It's only negative is that it can be dificult to drive, but you know all this That said FLC8s has that same general feel, a...

    I recieved my FLC8s last friday, ordered the red holiday version with greenish cables. While the sound is wonderful the cable is a problem. The one I recieved does not have ear guides. It does nave an 8.15 mm strain relief but no ear guide, which means they wont stay over my ears. Is the a quick...
