FLC Technology FLC8 and FLC8s Impressions Thread

[kousik1946]

  I've heard good things about the Null Audio cables... but I ordered mine over 2 weeks ago and it still hasn't shipped so not sure if I'd really recommend them unless you are really patient.

I will be waiting for your impression. Which one did you buy?

I originally ordered the Arete with TF10 connector and remote but I ended up cancelling and ordering one for my NT6 Pro since I was still on the fence about keeping the FLC8 due to comfort issues.

I don't have any comfort issues with the headphone. Rather this is one of the most comfortable headphone for me and I use spinfit tips. I am only bothered by the cable noise. It may be a good cable for sound quality but for practical use the cable is very bad.

I ordered some spinfit but they are taking forever to get here. My 30 days is almost up to return to LMUE and they still haven't arrived. I ordered them the day my FLC8S came... I'm so happy with the sound I'll probably just keep them. I can use them with triple flange and they work excellent but irritate my ears

I ordered from shenzhenaudio.com. They came within 1 week. What I love about this iem is their midrage and soundstage. It's excellet. I use double flange tips for other iems and they irritate too.

Some questions.

how's the customer service by shenzhen audio?

And who deals with the repairs and stuff if it's sold by shenzhen audio?

And lastly, in which city do you live in that they delivered in a week?

Thanks

This is my first purchase from them. I would say their customer service is excellent. I was getting replies within 10 minutes. I don't know about repair but I think I have to send the item directly to them. They used DHL express to ship in Kolkata.

Nil. I did not pay for customs because they declared the price below 30$.

A lot sellers declare low value to not become liable for import fee&tax, also a lot of overseas buyers request low declaration value for the same reason. If the item gets lost in the postage, a whole different problem. I would suggest just make sure if they are going to declare low value if you don't want to pay for import fee&tax. You can always ask to declare normal value and problem is much easier if it gets lost during shipping which rarely rarely happens (never happened once in my lifetime).
 
I would actually arguably say that declaring low value actually decreases the chance of the package being lost. Most are theft during the whole international shipping process and if it's a low value, no one is going to open or steal it. For example, a big gaming laptop brand box that says "MSI" on it and a $1500 declaration value vs the same laptop in a normal box with a $200 declaration value. Guess which one the thieves will take. A package just doesn't get "lost" if it's tracked.

If you like the sound with the stock tips, you won't be disappointed with the spinfits.

I know it's getting off-topic. But won't I be getting full refund if the package is lost in the way? Because the seller and courier service is responsible for that.

I have no idea, that depends on the seller. Really though, you don't have to worry about the package being lost.

Hi Everyone,

Anyone have experience with Cardas Audio A8? Right now I'm using the FLC8S in grey/grey/gunmetal around 75% of the time, and the Etymotic ER-4P the rest. I have a beat on the A8 at a good price, and I think they'd be a good addition to the lineup, but I was hoping for some input from the FLC8S club. What say ye? From the reviews I've read, I'm worried they're not great on clarity, which is kind of a deal-breaker for me. True?

Thanks for the help!

If you can get the A8 at a good price, I'd say go for it. A headfi buddy loaned me his pair for a week, and I quite liked it. It kind of reminds me of Nighthawk. The thing I didn't like about A8 was the shape. The bulbous earpieces felt a bit weird to me.
