So, i'm wondering what tips fit the flc 8s' weird large nozzels. My shure olives seem to have too small of a bore to fit, and I don't want to force them on. So i'm w wondering what foam tips fit the flc8s.

I've heard that the comply t500 does, but what about the lmue crystal tips? And on amazon, the spinfits seem to have large and small bore tips.

I also recommend spinfits.

JVC Spiral Dots is my choice.

JVC Spiral Dots is my choice.

I find Spiral dot a bit too much sub bass for me. Recently jump back to the stock tips. Definitely sounds much airier.

Although I prefer foam tips I find the MEE Audio double-flanged silicon tips the best fit in comfort & seal for the FLC8S. I also like the Spiral Dots and keep those for back up purposes.

Aight can finally post after year or so waiting and saying that will get FLC8s old sonys broke and bought these from BF sale on LMUE, super fast service and delivery
Read almost all reviews and whole thread so many times at nights and mornings, been trying tons of adjustments, thanks to @Brooko review on these, I dabbled leaving some LF and MF/HF filters out and after dozens of testings for the sound I think I like, the winner is from ULF to HF
GREY-NONE-GREEN. Since Im so new to these sound sigs etc, had to try it out bcoz woudnt know terms or describe which I preferred
Inb4 sleepless night listening flcs

I picked up the Fiio ue2 cable. It's nicely made reasonbly priced supple, but really dosen't fit. The pins are spaced fine but the diameter of the pin would only allow insertion a few mm before resistance was to great to be comfortable forcing it.

Yes, that cable doesn't work well in this application, it can cause damage. The original FLC8 cable is a great option with no pin fitment issues. I kind of don't understand the tendency to go to third party cables when a simple solution to cable ergonomics is easily available from the manufacturer. I don't mind the FLC8S stock cable as much as others, but the original FLC8 cable sounds good and is very user friendly.

All great points, I'll start with the stock cable ( came without ear guides) is not comfortable for me. Second was I purchased my FLC8 on Amazon through Music Teck ( the us vendor) and not for me my prefered vendor Lume. He had none of the other stock cables available including the silver upgrade. But Lume did at an additional $100.00 after three day thought it would be a simple and reasonable solution to go to a Fiio cable ( good luck, good performance in past) . Then contacted Lume ( yes should have started here FLC8 included ) cable is avialible as are spare filter plugs. And that's it in a nut shell.

I just don't like the ㄱshaped part at the pins.

Shout out to Forrest, I sent an email asked questions about the FLC8S and Forrest sent a sample instead. He even paid for the postal! I am a fan before even trying out the sample.

Super nice!

I met Forrest at RMAF. He's a very kind, generous, soft-spoken person. It was an honor to meet him!

 

[nekromantik]

Yeah for me Meelec double flange fits best but I am finding that the tips easily get broken due to the filters on the FLC8s so one of my tips now keeps coming off after I take it out of my ear.
Bought some crystal tips also but with these i dont get a good fit in my left year.

Shenzhen is the city next to our city, Dongguan, it's very convenient to send something there.

These arrived after being ordered on Black Friday   Using them as is without any customized filters.  Sounds pretty darn good already.
 
The instructions are in Chinese.
 
Guess I need to go back to some early reviews that gave all the skinny on how to set these up.
 
I have forgotten what the more popular set up configurations are.  More to follow.
