For those of you looking for a smartphone cable that is compatible with the FLC8s, I've finally found one that isn't custom.
Go to:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0728DZN4F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_C4bOAb9892PRK

I'm not talking about "fits" like some have said the TF10 fits, I'm talking about ACTUALLY fits. It's like buying a cable for your FLCs', and getting a free Dual-Dynamic+Dual-BA quad-driver Chinese headphone with it!

Just thought I'd share after spending a couple hundred on FLC cables....

Nice find - thanks for sharing! Those pins look a little short in the 4th photo. Do they make a solid connection with the FLC8S socket?

Also, those IEM shells look suspiciously like those of the Andromedas Do they sound any good??

You mean you haven't heard of the KZ ZS5?
The v1 was apparently good, everything after that are disasters.

Those are the KZ5s right? Does anyone have any experience with the KZ cables?

[MadMusicJunkie]

that is correct:
KZ ZS5
The connection is solid and certainly deep enough . I don't know if you can buy the cable separately, but at their price, its not bad.
They are Andromeda-looking. They're bass-heavy and warm. I like the Kinera BD005's much better for a bass guilty pleasure, but they aren't horrible by any means (IMO). Most important thing, I have a smartphone cable, with a decent mic by the way, for my FLC8s. I had destroyed a pair of FLC8s' trying to use the TF10 connectors. The holes got so stretched that they didn't hold the stock cable anymore.

Interestingly enough, though, the FLC8s cable will NOT work on the KZ ZS5! Its not deep enough.

They are .75mm ... FLC8S is .74mm

Try NullAudio Arete MkIII. Much better than original cable. No microphonics, sleeved, copper bodied IEM connector. Also cheaper than LMUE cable replacements - just 99 SGD. Use UE TF10 connector by customisation.

I thought the TF10 connectors will stretch the connectors on the IEMs?

Word of caution: the NA TF10 pin fit will be hit & miss due to tolerances. My first set (Arete) were extremely tight to get onto the FLC8s and I'm wary to remove them now. My second cable (Lune) were a better fit, tight but not as tight, to get on a second set of FLC8s. Other connector types I've ordered through NA also have been hit & miss.

I have yet to find a TF10 connector that does not stretch/risk stretching the flc8 to an unhealthy degree. KZ ZS5 has had no ill-effect.

But aren't the pins too long?
