Small question, is the isolation reduced due to the vented design? also, can the more isolating tips be used on the flc 8s? eg
triple flange, shure foam olivers, complay foam)
Oh and also the flc 8s is pretty much the most i'm going to spend. over $400 usd for the CA NOVAs is quite simply too much for me. i've got quite a tight budget.
i'm probably going to look like an idiot here, but technically, since the sound signature of the flc 8s can be changed, shouldn't the flc 8s be able to fit most preferences for music? Then it really would be a pair of great iems with great flexibility to fit any pair of ears wouldn't it?
anyway, thanks for your help and suggestions, cololinho. i'm probably going to use my shure 215s for heavy transport and my flc 8s for indoors and more quiet environments. thanks!
