Odd. I've had three pairs of the regular old FLC8S plus the CIEM version in house at various points, and none have had any issues with the filters popping out. Seems like you just need to have your pair replaced.

I haven't had that issue at all either.  They require a little bit of a push to get seated, and then they seem very secure.  Possibly the OP didn't get them seated completely.

  Hello everyone. I recently purchased the FLC 8s from LMUE however I find that the stock tips do not fit well into my ears and they are being constantly pushed outside my ear canal thus, most of the time I could not have a complete seal.  Anyone can recommend which tips are best for the FLC 8s? I find that the largest stock tips sometimes do not fall off outside my ear.
 
So far I love the red-grey-gold and red-grey-green filters.
 
Thanks.

The Crystal foam tips that LMUE wells are very nice, comfortable and sound good (medium bore size).  If you want to stay with silicone, Spinfits are a good choice (100 model).

  Yeah, I think it does need replacing. I'm going to hold off for a little while, but will return to owning one of FLC Tech's earphones once the universal custom shell version comes out. The fit was never very good for me, with the angle of the nozzle seeming off so they constantly wanted to back out of my ears and needed re-seating. Sony Hybrid tips mostly fixed this, but it was never a great fit. Hopefully the upcoming hybrid univ. shell helps this.

How about the ULF filter which has hole off center. Is it causing imbalance too??

In theory, if the small hole in the filters is blocked, that will cause imbalance, but we have seen this kind of imbalance yet.
We tested all filters and nozzles except the black bass filter and the green nozzle(they are empty) and the red ULF filter(it's solid)

So, if the dust blocking ULF filter can we just poke it with needle or something?
Also, what is the really difference between clear tips anf grey one?

While the Comply 400 will indeed fit, I wasn't too pleased with its sonic impact.  Really dulled the top end, and aren't very durable or particularly comfortable.

needle is too big, you need to find something stiff and very small(about 0.2mm diameter).
The only difference is color.

Thank you for the answer.
0.2 mm? That's so small.haha
Btw you're right about "imbalance", it just have to sit and seal properly to get balance sound.
I got perfect fit with ortofon tips (Medium size) + 1mm spacer on the nozzle.

Thanks but its quite a bit pricey for me though since I have to pay for additional shipping.

Thanks for this. I was about to ask about the model of the spinfits.  Any idea on its size? Only the largest stock tips provide the seal on my ears so I guess I should be getting the large ones.

Yes I have purchased one at massdrop but I am quite concerned on its durability.  I guess I will find out when it will be delivered to me.

You would  want the large spinfits. They aren't quite as big as the included tips (close though)  but are designed to sit deeper in the canal, so you should get a good seal.

Most of you with imbalance must have a seal issue. I had that before and learned how to fix it by inserting the tip deeper on that ear. Dual flange tips helped. Case solved.

Don't think mine is a seal issue as much as a hearing issue.  I have the same issue with full size cans.   Too many 120 db rock concerts in the front row with no hearing protection.

Ouch. That last sentence sounds painful just reading it 

 

[dlayman]

Yeah, wasn't the smartest thing in the world.  I just never could enjoy concerts with hearing protection.  And these were at small to medium clubs, where you can lean on the stage and I was only a couple feet from the speakers (probably at least 100 times).  I wouldn't trade those times though, even with the mild hearing damage.  I've been tested by an audiologist and its very mild in one ear and mild to low-moderate in the other, not far from normal for my age.  Its just that one side is worse than the other.  I always stood closer to the left speakers and that's the ear with more loss.

Will the FLC8s go well with Xduoo x3? anyone with this combo?
