FLC Technology FLC8 and FLC8s Impressions Thread

Dear Friends:
  
  When you try tips from other sources, please be careful, not to use tips which is too tight for FLC8s, the bore, which mates with the nozzles, is glued to the housing, if the the tips are too tight, the bore can be put off if you pull the tips too hard.

Yes, the bore was glued to the housing, you can return those to us to fix for you, or you can buy a bottle of Lotite 460 or 410 to glue it by yourself, if you choose to glue by yourself, please put enough glue, in case of leaking.

Aww, meng. Did you pull one of the nozzles off?

I've actually had a nozzle pull off another pair of IEM. Thankfully it hasn't happened to my FLC8S!

Does Epoxy works (Since is plastic)? I'm worried that I apply too much and glue the dampening filter as well ._.
Would the sound be affected it it is broken? If I put it back in it seems to hold in itself pretty tight.

Yea... This is the first time it happen to me.. Pretty shocked..

I hope that's a lower price tier IEM that you pull off it's nozzle..

 

[nmatheis]

Yes, it was a lower priced IEM that came apart. In fact, it was a beta testing model, so I guess I can't fault it much. The final version had no such problems for me. I hope you get your FLC8S fixed up quickly and easily, my friend!

Oh... I hope the manufacturer don't blame you on that haha.

Yea, hopefully!

Nope, they thanked me for uncovering a weak point that needed to be fixed

Stress test ehh?

maybe too many spacers (don't know if this alters the sound someway), but got a deep insertion and sealing with the spiral dots..

I cut a small part of unused stock tips to get something stable for the spiral dots.
Seal is just fine.

That's a really good idea.

 

[Whaleshark12]

Without spacer on the flc with spiral dot would sound very mid forward and the bass are not really having a lot of impact.
 
With spacer and spiral dot, the mid feel a little distance but this makes it sound really airy. This time the bass hit pretty deep. I think most probably due to the spiral dot design. Oh and wider soundstage with jvc spiral dot.
That's just what I heard.
