nice review. :)

what diameter bores do you recommend for those tips? I want to order a set, as my complys tend to muffle the sound a bit!

Theres a 3.7mm or 4.5mm option.
Thanks! I used the normal bore version, they fit and sound best for me.

@ezekiel77 , what a lush, luxurious review of the FH5. Your first paragraph, with its parallel cadences of prosody, begs to be read out loud, as I did to my wife!

I enjoy the FH5 as well, but after having my pair for about a month, I just became extremely frustrated as the Comply tip for the right ear tended to propel the earpiece out of my ear as it expanded. I switched the right ear from the L to the M tip and it seems better so far.

It seems that there is an art for searching beyond the box contents for the right tips for these IEMs. In my scramble to try all tips provided, I lost exactly one. Anyone have any idea how I can get just one tip (the Balanced Large) without having to buy the whole phalanx of tips provided?

I would go with the wide bore version as the normal one is quite hard to fit them in!

thank you very much for everyone, now we realized that western people will have bigger ear hold and we will add dual ear tips in the package.

I'm using the same tips. They work great for me after the regular spinfits tips weren't ideal for my ears.

I just got the SpinFit CP155 L ear tips: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078RF1YLY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which, so far, are superior for my ears to any of the tips that came with the FH5s. I tried all of the included tips, each type, each size, and had best results with the large bass tips and the large balanced tips, but they were both uncomfortable after a long listening session and didn't isolate quite as well as I thought they should. The SpinFits I got are not dual flange, but they work for my ears much better than the FiiO tips, both for sound and comfort. Sound quality with these tips is very similar to the bass tips from FiiO.

The bore of the SpinFit CP155's is large, so the tips don't fit as tightly to the earpiece as the included FiiO tips. You could probably go one size down (CP145: https://www.amazon.com/SpinFit-CP14...9373430011&ie=UTF8&qid=1537745669&sr=8-8&th=1), but they may have a different sound signature. CP155's are not too loose and I don't think they have a risk of falling off. Your mileage will vary of course. I have a terrible time finding a perfect fit with any IEM, and this combo is the best I've had yet!

They don't send to my location, so I'm ****ed as usual.
Dear friend,

You could enter another address in the Aliexpress first, then leave a message and provide the correct address for the seller instead for help.

Best regards
