Been looking around for these, but can’t find them really on sale. Does anyone know where they are being sold?

He's in the UK, FiiO on Amazon US isn't shipping to the UK for the FD1... just checked (and amazon.co.uk doesn't have it). Best to go through AliExpress but it's $20 more than Amazons price

Looked at Amazon.com, but not shipping to the UK, although I have bought from there in the past. Checked Ali Express, you can go through the ordering process OK, then it comes up that the seller won’t ship to the UK also.

I got it over the weekend and it has replaced my IT00 as the next toy :)
How'd you say the FD1 and IT00 compare?

I currently have, listen to, and really like the IT00, but have the FD1 on my wish list too. Unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to listen to/compare them before purchasing, but willing to make the bet based on what I've read so far.

I'd love to have another pair next to the IT00 with a bit less bass and a bit more middle, but with the same level of detail, same kind of fun, and price range.

Basically, the FD1 sounds a bit clearer than IT00 partly because it has slightly less sub-bass. The cable also looks nicer and it is 2-pin which is a lot easier to remove as opposed to the mmcx connector on the IT00. I got the black FD1 and I feel that it looks better.

Hey, check the previous post for some impressions. I think you have the same requirements like me and you really should consider the FD1 as a complement to the IT00.

Having tried the IT00 now, i would choose the FD1s over them without hesitation. However, this is clearly a matter of taste, the engaging v-shaped signature of the FD1 is much more to my liking than very (to me: overly) neutral tuning of the IT00.
