Do all FAD IEMs (perhaps except the PF series) use the Comply 200 series tips?

Thanks. Since I have the H7, which should be identical to the H8 externally, that's good to know.

On the Comply website the H7 is identified to use the 200 series. It doesn't list the 8 or lab but does list the 7 specifically.

Seems strange they only list those IEMs and not the other FAD models. It's not like FAD has a gazillion different models. My Adagio 3 is not listed but the 200 should fit. I hope.
The Heaven Series have all the same nozzle. So that certain Comply-version will fit on the II, IV, V, V aging, VI, VII and VIII

How could I possibly love these headphones so much-Pandora Hope VI soon to be Sonorous VI. I've been spoiled on flagship headphones for years and there mid priced headphones are fully in the same league. I've always scoffed at "Giant Killers" in my time out here on Head-fi but if I have ever seen a giant killer, these are it. I still love my flagships but they have had minimal head time since these arrived.

Following up my previous post about how good the Pandora/Sonorous VI are, they just started a massdrop on the new Sonorous VI. If i didn't already have a pair I would be running to this. $499. Yikes!

I compared the Pandora VI with the new Sonorous IV and found I liked the IV better. The two headphones are pretty much the same with the IV using plastic instead of the stainless steel in the VI. I found the IV to be less bright as well as somewhat lighter. I personally don't like overly bright headphones. It is also lighter on the pocketbook
As background, the IV has not been available in the US until now while the VI was brought to the US a year or so ago due to a relationship with AK. I was able to try both at the Orlando meet last weekend where Final Audio attended. The Sonorous IV I purchased was the first one shipped to the US and was supposed to become a demo unit. However, I fell in love with it and bought it. Everyone will have to wait until the next shipment to try it out. Sorry.
BTW, the Massdrop price for the VI is outstanding!

Seems like demand was great so they relaunch the drop. Unfortunately I might miss this one too as I'm on vaction, and 2 days later seems abit too late considering how fast it was sold the first time (30 unit this time).

I need a new headphone like a Bedouin needs sand... but I just joined the Massdrop anyway and was the 5th buyer so I got the honor of unlocking the lowest price (so if no one else joins, the other 4 guys should really thank me for taking one for the team
