FD5 bass probably wrecks A8000 bass, too. But lighter signatures can be very nice, something like Sundara or AD900X(but way, way better than those).

Price means absolutely nothing in terms of audio beyond a few 100 USD. I am just listing single DD iem, that I have heard for an extended period recently.
There are so many 2k+ audio gear that sounds completely awful, judging by price is the completely worthless IMO.

Comparing two 1DD iems by price is not worthless.
Can you adopt me, please ?
When there's a 650% cost difference (Final A8000 vs FiiO FD5), it becomes a factor, at least for me.

I just got the starline tips in my mail. It's my first time to to try them reversed.
With them soundstage of FD5 increased so much I could compare it to open back headphone?
That's in the first 10 min. Am I hearing this right or my ears playing tricks on me?

I've decided to sell my set. I've used them a total of 4 times, never outside and they are in pristine condition.
They are amazing but I have come to realize that I already own a few other brightish Single DD IEMs so the FD5 is simply redundant in my collection.
I'm situated in Sweden but I can ship internationally through the company so customs are taken care of.
PM me if anyone is interested.

Which other brighter single DD you own?

My wallet sadly disagrees about prices. LOL!
I absolutely see your point with diminishing (sometimes intangible) returns plus the amazing stuff that is out there at such a reasonable prices.

Can you pm me that link after he pm’s you? Seriously. Thanks
I got them on Ali express, search KZ starline, they cost next to nothing.
But I would actualy recommend Tennmak Whirlwind wide bore. They sound very similar, both bring out the high mids and treble
Reversed starline:
- Huge stage
- In my case they constantly falling out, it's hard to achiave seal, and when I do I usually have to push them very hard what made my ears very soar.
Whirlwinds:
- Tad lesser stage than rev.star.
- Much, much better comfort and seal.
I use them with 1mm spacer and this is my sweet spot for sound and comfort.
