Nope. The reason is the curvature of the ear canal. I use the smallest nozzles with IT04, but still tires. And one ear is fine, but the second is not

Sounds like each of your ears are different. Mine are as well. Maybe they should just make the iem shell smaller in depth. That would solve all issues.

Dasm: I think it matters as to what a person's ear shape is as to whether a nozzle is too long or too short. I think that with the tuning filters of the LZ A5 the nozzle is fairly long, and yet I can use Spinfit CP100's with no fatigue problem. Personally I would like the FH7 to have a tiny bit longer and thinner nozzle.

in FH7, the length is not a problem, but the diameter is the important issues cause we can provide a short nozzle and a long nozzle , but the diameter can't be changed.

Maybe just a little bit...

I think your engineers must decide.. diameter strongly influences sound - and sound is first of all.

I purchased this balanced cable for use with my FH5. Though at first I did not appreciate it, the cable does not use memory wire around the ears, as well as being lighter weight, so that you don’t have the wire trying to pull the IEMs out of your ears as you are trying to keep them in.

Agree and we will try to figure out how can we solve the problem and make more people satisfy with our products.

Any chance to get these for people who have already the FH5?

Sorry not, it is not a quality issues and we just to make it better and better, if we do that, it means that we have to do that again when there are any change.

ALO is WAY overpriced. They want $350 for a comparable cable. :dt880smile:

True. Anything from ALO Audio / Campfire Audio is way overpriced, but their cables are way better quality than the Fiio ones, and this is reflected in the price.

I’m not sure it could be six times as nice though. Fiio provides far better value and returns for the money.

I get balanced cable to utilize balanced output power.
The c/p value of cable is up to individual's perception.
Some cables are built beautifully and some use expensive material,
I guess that it isn't always about performance.

I typically will pay extra for quality even when the gains don’t offer too much. ALO has a ridiculous pricing structure though. There are very nice cables out there for far less than $350 for an IEM cable. I refuse to buy into their nonsense.


This little guy alone is $200. :laughing:
