Hello,

I am using a TF10 compatible cable for my FLC8s headphones. This cable has a 3.5mm unbalanced jack plug.

I would like to buy a balanced 2.5mm jack cable. What balanced cable is compatible with FLC8s?
Better if it is available in lunashops.

@Ziggomatic ¿do you know any?

Thank you!!

I can sell you an original one, termination 2.5 mm

thanks for the offer. I already have the original model. I would like a higher quality OCC cable

Its been a while since I researched cables for the FLC8S. I think both the sizing is unusual (0.74) and there may be some anomalies with wiring/phasing. I imagine there are custom cable builders who know what to do with these. I doubt something other than factory off the shelf will be a simple purchase.

Hey guys. So I am actually looking for a new cable for the FLC8S. If anyone is selling theirs for cheap PM me

hey, I have a question. Do you know where I can buy replacement cable for the FLC8S? I am having issues with L and R imbalance. I think my R side is quieter than my L side. Or do you have a third party brand that you would recommend that sounds nice?

That problem is usually the earphones. Cables sometimes break down and you will get noises and sound cutting in and out and stuff. A side getting a little quieter is not usually how cables how issues. More often than is the earphone itself. Did you swap sides to see if the problem stays on that side cause that will tell you right away if you swap and the R earphone plugged into the L is still quieter.

So I tried swapping the sides, and the imbalance problem still exists does anyone how or where I can fix this problem?

Yes but do you mean it persists on the same side or did it swap sides. If it traveled with the buds it is a buds issue if it stayed one same side after the swap it is a cable issue. Obviously if it is a cable issue you can find a replacement. The buds you can take out the filters and check those and the vents and front screens for any debris that may be blocking. Might get away with just cleaning them out will restore it.

So hard to find a replacement cable for these. I'm looking for a balanced cable, but nobody makes anything with 0.74mm connectors. Is FLC still an existing company? Would the owner make any replacement cables?

Have a look on https://sgaudiohive.com/ I got some cables from them way back, when you placed the order you could tick a box if they were for the FLC so that you got the right sized plugs.

I think FLC Forrest is still kicking. But I can only find stuff related to it on Taobao. Maybe you can try contacting him on Taobao (if you even have the account) to get a replacement cable
