Hi guys, I need a good IEM for the gym/running. The fa1 is a good choice?

The Mee Audio M6 Pro 2nd Gen. is rated IP5 for water resistance. That means "Water projected by a nozzle (6.3 mm) against enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects." No kidding.

The FA1 has a tiny air vent in the shell adjacent to the antitragis, so, technically, it's not waterproof per a direct spray standard. I'm ok with that.

Well, I know you don't expect the headphones you use when working out to be sprayed with water from a pressure nozzle, LOL. I just think the parameters of that standard are kind of amusing.

BA directly in the nozzle and there is no nozzle guard...I personally wouldn't wear them running

I use my iBasso IT01 at the gym as they are pretty bass heavy to help block out noise and also seal pretty well.

Dear friend,

Without a filter net in the nozzle, you can get the better sound quality, and it will not affect normal use. In addition, it is easier to remove something like earwax under this design.

Best regards

I got mine a few days ago. They are comfortable but push a bit. Maybe I have to get used to it first, it's my first of its kind. I hope foam tips do it better, can anyone recommend one?

I haven't tested them with the FA1 as the stock medium tips work surprisingly well but Dekoni Bulletz are my favorite foamies

Mine pushed a little bit at first. After a couple of weeks, my ears adjusted to them. Smooth sailing now. Loving the soundstage on these for the price. And they're a LOT more neutral than I was expecting.

I'm not sure. The deadline for the return is still running. I am a student and 119€ are very much for me. I do not want to take any risk. The Audio Tin T3 looks more comfortable for me, I use it mainly in the library so at normal volume others should not hear what I am listening to.

Dose someone have booth of them?

I did. The T3 were too bassy for me. Outside of that, they were amazing. Slightly mid forward and decent highs. Ended up selling my T3 and keeping the FA1 because of their neutrality and soundstage.

I have the FA1 sent back today, I have to wait until the T3 are there.
The FA1 sound great! I hope the T3 are the same but sit comfortably

I have received the T3 today, they actually have more bass but that's what I missed with the FA1. They sound really good and the comfort is much better. I am happy

Selling mine if anyone is interested in it

Really nice IEM. Very comfortable, great sound clarity. I like them in fast and heavy music.
Soundstage is decent, it is not 'stadium effect', but it feels like a concert in average size hall. For symphony it may be slightly too narrow, but for metal music it is enough.
For its price FA1s are really great deal.

I received my FA1 yesterday.
The first listening tests left me a bit disappointed because they sound very cold, thin and dry respect to Sennheiser Momentum IEM I was using before.
Mids and highs are good but the bass response is very weak.
Maybe the FH1 would suit my taste better?
