For those who are looking for a more inexpensive adapter + cable combo: Just received these, and they work like a charm. Cost me 45€ in total, including shipping. Not 100% flush, but they do the job. Just needs a hefty cable alongside it.

Maybe Saturn? The seismic oscillations inside Saturn produce visible wave patterns in the rings, kinda like bass (see GIF). Naming scheme can be extended, doesn't sound too outlandish...

Reminds me of the FLC8. Looks good.

I remember it being 9.2mm in diameter.

It's clearly the Arkansas Pro. :o2smile: Jokes aside, the regular Kanas are bassier.

For anyone interested there is a modding guide made by some anon from /g/:

They are certainly worth taking a look at. Even with all the fakes floating around, for <10$ this is a risk worth taking. The cable sucks, the build is anemic, but the sound is stellar. I'm going to try and get some more just to mod them into something more useable for everyday life. EDIT: Here...

I agree. They are very competent in all areas. Soundstage is good, though they have an outstanding ability to seperate instruments. Very coherent sounding, maybe only lacking in some treble extention. For 5-10$? Unbeatable.

Nocturne. @Ahmad313 got them.

Guess this is the best bet for one looking for "authentic" MH755s. 3$ per earphone is well worth the risk, atleast in comparision to those 10$ pairs which are on ebay. I'm going to buy 3 or 4 of them and see what variance there is. Even If they turn out to be fakes (or just terrible), tearing...

Source?

Sony Hybrid LL size. My earcanals are jumbo sized in diameter.

Agreed. Most of the weight is distributed across not the shell, but the cable hook. It almost floats by your ear, which is comfortable, although fools you in believing that you have achieved an ideal seal. IMO, the EX1000 (similar to the Etymotic) really requires to be inserted as deep as...

Much thanks. Looks like a "fairly balanced" Diffuse-Field curve with some extra sub-bass and a 6kHz peak. I'd love a filter which measures Etymotic-like with extra sub-bass. Nothing that extra EQ can't fix.

I remember reading somewhere that the FLC8s used a TWFK. Is the new BA-Driver proprietary?

@Flcforrestwei can you provide a frequency response or any comparision between the FLC8S and FLC8d/n? Just to get an idea on how the tonality has changed, if at all?

Looks like I can retire my FLC8s now. 227€ seems like a great deal, especially when I can use it with Red-Gray-Gray.

For those waiting for the FLC8N release. They are now available on Penon. https://penonaudio.com/flc-8n.html Personally, gonna sit those out. Waiting for the FLC9. Seems like the thread gets to breathe again after all the idle talk.

Seems like raw and Harman-Target compensated(?) Unless that HRTF description means something else.

IMO, TRRS does nothing in itself. What really matters is the implementation inside the your AMP/DAC. You really have to look at specifications and measurements (like Output power, THD, Noise levels, jitter, etc.). However if you still want to change, you'll need a unit which has a dedicated...

Not to spoil anything, but these are going to be big. In more than one way.

Another quesiton for Forrest. Judging by the pictures, it does seem like the newer FLC8n/d have slighly thicker shells. Have you made these changes to improve on isolation? 1 Dynamic Driver + 4 Balanced Armatures, afaik.

At least something we can agree on. :wink:

From my experience, balanced does absolutely nothing audibily. The changes are mostly because of the extra power the unit provides. Headroom is nice and all, but with the super-low impedance of the FLC8s, this is something which barely matters. However, the one thing I'd keep an eye on is output...
