Yeah I don't buy any reviewer's hype and rankings, especially a collab. BUT, I have had the OG SA6 on my radar and this seems to be an upgrade to that. Even if it's not S-Tier I'd be interested. I just hate the hype + limited quantities of collabs.

On the same boat. Kinda wanna wait but isn't SA6 ultra being sold in limited quantities? I'd rather just get a non-collab version later tbh.

I received my FD5s a few days ago. I was ready to write these off as "decent sounding but not great treble" until I tried them w/ the narrow nozzles and Spinfit CP800 tips. I really wasn't a fan of the treble at all with the wide nozzles as it sounded splashy and somewhat harsh at times. Not...

What do you mean by break in one of the connections? Couldn't get the earpiece to stay connected to the mmcx cable?

I no longer see the flc 8n on penon. Shame, I was ready to buy.

Listening to my pair now. I hate the cable but other than that I have zero complaints so far. Easy fit, easy seal and extremely pleasant sounding right out of the box.

Lower mids on the FLC felt hollow? That's disappointing. That's the problem I have with a lot of IEMs, mids are too recessed or too scooped out. Right now, the Brainwavz B400 are my top IEM but I would like something with a bit more sub-bass quantity. I also tried the new Fiio FH1 but I have...

I'm torn between the LZ A5 and the FLC 8s. I absolutely loved my LZ A4 but over time I did tend to dislike the mid-bass hump with the black back filter (or lack of bass with the blue back filter) and the somewhat uneven treble response with a lot of the nozzle filters.

Well, the sound is great but my pair of FH1 are having QC issues. I cannot get the right earpiece to stay connected to the MMCX cable. Both the balanced and single ended cables will not stay attached to the right earpiece. Even a third party cable has issues. Left earpiece is fine, but the...

I like the mids. Vocals are not recessed. Recessed mids are a deal breaker for me and I have no problem with the mids on these. Soundstage isn't huge, details are fantastic though. Soundstage is probably equal to the F9.

Just came home to my pair of FH1s. Initial impressions are extremely positive. Warm, smooth sound with a very good fit. I can hear the boosted bass but it doesn't bloat or spill into the mids. I find these much more enjoyable than the F9s right out of the box.

Sorry for the dumb question, but are the FLC 8s still the best buy for their price range? I know a lot of good IEMs have come out around this price in 2017.

Got tired of waiting for these to come up on Amazon. Order placed on Ali, looking forward to hearing these.

What's the difference between the older nozzle and the new one?

My favorite A4 combo is the black back filter and grey nozzle. Black/black is great as well, but the uneven treble can be fatiguing over time. I find the B400 have much better resolution and detail, much smoother sound and a much better fit for my ears. The A4 can be a bit more exciting due to...

2 days in and I'm really enjoying these B400s. For my personal tastes, this was exactly the kind of IEM I was looking for. Coming from things like the LZ A4 and the iBasso IT03, it's so nice to have an IEM that's comfortable to wear all day. I didn't like what Comply tips did to the sound...

Here we go..

Yes, I'm in the US. I paid for expedited shipping but didn't expect it to be next day! It shipped from HK.

My frosts were delivered 10 minutes after I left for work. Can't wait to get home and get them going. Brainwavz shipped and delivered via FedEx. Package was delivered in around 24 hours from the shipping notification.

So I got to borrow a friend's Sony 7550 today. Maybe it's a preference thing for me, but I sure don't see how they're so high on the list. Is their current tier list ranking based on a mod or something?

In on this drop based on this thread as several other positive things I've read. I didn't want to take the risk and also wait this long but I've been so frustrated with my recent IEM purchases. If the mids are as good as I've read they are, these will be right up my alley.

Thanks for the update. I placed a new order last week after the last one got delayed & I ended up cancelling. I'm really looking forward to receiving them.

Wow this list is amazing. I've been really unhappy with my IEMs lately. Still unsure what to grab but it's looking like the New Primacy and the FLC 8s would be the top contenders based on this list. MD+ look amazing too but that leadtime is brutal. Any you would prefer as a neutral-ish...

Can anyone compare the B400 to the Noble X Massdrop or Oriveti New Primacy IEMs? I'm really tired of harsh treble in IEMs and I've narrowed my search to these IEMs.

I apologize if it's already been asked, but what is the difference between the stock cable and the frosty/onyx upgrade cables?
