Just tried out the grey-none-black/gunmetal combination and was suddenly greeted by a whole new iem. The clarity is now stunning, and the sound is much more... Bodied. There's a new thickness to it.

i've gone from red-grey-gold, to grey-grey-gold, to grey-grey-green and now, grey-none-grey and I like every single one. It's like onwing 6 iems, except it's $320 and all in one.

Told you so Try clear instead of grey ULF. For me personally the grey ULF has bothered me a bit because it just rumbles, not as refined. It kind of leeches into mid bass region. This is all YMMV depending on tip and source though.
 
Once you get used to the no LF filter, you can't go back because everything will sound somewhat congested and lacking bass impact. I suggest the black filter not to leak much noise in public.

 
and with grey  none black ...you mean with grey the shiny plastic one...same as red shiny, black shiny?

The SGAudiohive Laboriosa Silver Cable has arrived.
Taking out the stock cable was kinda tricky. They were on pretty tight, so I had to slide my nails in between the connectors and the FLC8S to pry them out.
The Laboriosa connectors, however, were perfect fits. They just slid into the FLC8S with just enough resistance to feel secure.
Now onto the important part. Are there any microphonics with this new cable?
There is none. Zilch. Nada. It's pretty much gone. Took a short walk and couldn't notice any at all.
The only two nitpicks I have is the build quality(good but not perfect e.g. there were some clear blobs of glue on the pins) and how tight the wooden ball cinch is.
Other than those two issues, I'm pretty glad I made the jump.

 
It is a beautiful looking cable
Would you share the sonic-change impression of this cable relatives to original cable and same filters configuration?

I've read this configuration for some times now, will try it out tonight
But I wonder if the "none" at LF results in the max amount of mid bass?
 
I use to listening this iem in its mighty-popular configuration i.e. red-grey-gold.
Might as well utilizing its real power of sound customization now

Thats exactly how I feel about them. Great set, couldn't be happier.

Looks great, I´m on for a set. How are the sonic improvements, if any? Thanks in advance for your impressions.

Hmm... I'm not really good at describing sound, but let me try my best.
Using Grey>Clear>Gunmetal while listening to "Arcadia" by Asami Imai, the silver cable sounds clearer and more open. Female Vocals feels more forward and Bass is also more controlled. Not too sure about the treble for me to make a statement about it.
Really sorry if this doesn't really explain much. 

One thing to note though, this cable is definitely heavier then the stock cable.

Is the hockey puck case made of metal or plastic?

Metal. Squeaky, screechy metal.

That´s already of help, thanks a lot! Keep them coming

Placed an order for these on Amazon yesterday. Should be here tomorrow.
 
Cant wait to try these on. 
 
Any recommended filters I should try out first? Ill do plenty of experimenting myself as well.

It does and Brooko measured it. It doesn't tell the whole story though. Surprisingly, no LF filter results in better clarity throughout the whole spectrum. It just adds warmth and impact, definitely not recommended for neutral seekers. Personally, this config is much more engaging and fun for me.

Just got these like 5 minutes ago. I fiddled with the filters and am waiting to burn them in as I have heard these need some burn in time.
 
I instantly changed the to the red filters, followed by grey and then finally gold.
 
Does anyone else use these combinations?
 
I accidentally tried the green and boy were they harsh. 

 

[nmatheis]

cellarbro: red-grey-gold is probably the most popular combination

Sweet.
 
Good to know. Ill have to try the balanced combination as well but so far I am enjoying these so much I don't want to change them. (for now lol)

Just loaned a pair of FLC8S to my man ngoshawk. Eager to see how he likes them...

Thanks, bro! Should be a good time.
