Best I can do is post up some pictures of all 3 of them tomorrow. I'd do just a little more research. Now if you do get them and they hurt you IMHO have any trouble re-selling them

Well, I think it'd already help me quite a bit if you could tell me how wide the nozzle on the FLC8s is compared to the Deltas.

FLC8S is a fairly wide nozzle, mostly typical of today's IEM's. Foam tips,like Crystal, make it much more comfortable and enjoyable for almost any listening session. If you still have problems or concetns, RHA T20 has a smaller nozzle, but again foam tips will help with them. Either way I think you need soft foam tips such as the Crystal, and the FLC is ultimately more capable the the T20 although both are exceptional in sound quality and value.

H20, from other stuff you've said on other threads, I think you and I may have similar tastes/preferences... You might want to give a try to the the red/nothing/nothing combo on the FLC8. Before trying this, I did like the FLC8, but wasn't "enchanted". With it, I really like them a lot (and my previous preferred IEM was the A83). I'm currently coupling the FLC8 with the QP1R (which I don't think you have, though?). Really lovely combo (IMHO, YMMV, etc etc).

 
How would you compare the FLC8 to the A83? I've had fit problems with the A83 no matter which tips I used and am not using them very much. So naturally I'm interested in the FLC8. I searched this thread but I couldn't find too many good comparisons.

  hi, I'm so close to ordering these but I have one question to people who own/ed the FLC8s and the Trinity Delta. The Deltas simply are too big for my ears, I can fit them in but after about 20 minutes it starts to hurt real bad. So is the part that actually goes into your ear canal smaller here or would I have trouble fitting the FLC8s in ?

 
The Delta is a cylindrical type housing which is the same diameter all the way through. The FLC8S is over the ear type which is usually more comfortable to wear, but this really depends on your anatomy. I had the same issue with the Delta because my ear canals are really small, I don't normally have this issue with over the ear type IEMs unless they have sharp edges or are on the larger side. The FLC8S is one of the smaller over the ear designs.

Hope this helps.
 

 
I find the flat inner walled FLC8S design to be a little bit more comfortable and stable. However, with the correct tips the A83 to be pretty good.

Yea. I feel the same with delta as well. I don't get sore but it feels uncomfortable If i am using for prolonged time.. Yes the FLC fits well in my case.

Wow that was fast, thanks for all your answers. Seems like I'll order a pair of FLC8s soon 

But while we're at it, which size of Comply tips would I need for them ? I'd guess the 500 series ?

Yep, but recently my right ear canal got swollen. Not sure why though makes me unable to enjoy it.

The FLC8s' nozzles aren't the most ergonomic ones (quite thick), so they aren't the most ideal in-ears, especially with swollen canals, comfort and fit wise.

Nope, I mean my ear canal got swollen recently.
It is comfortable for me though before my ear got swollen (No idea why)

I see, my bad and get well soon. Well I am really that picky when it comes to fit, but regardless of what I had said, they are actually acceptable, comparing to all the pain-inducing devices out there.

Comfort-wise, I have the same problem as you with the A83, can't really use them for prolonged sessions (say, more than 1 hour or so), while I don't have that problem with FLC8. Sound-wise, for a long time I preferred the A83, as they had a sound signature which was more "fun" for me. The beauty of the FLC8, however, is that you can finetune its signature quite a bit. Once I stumbled upon my current configuration (red-nothing-nothing, which was pointed out to me by somebody in this thread - I hadn't thought about experimenting with "nothing", lol), and especially paired with the Questyle QP1R, they've become my go-to combo, surpassing the A83 in my preferences.
 
Hope that helps, at least somewhat.

That helps a lot, thanks!
