For workout flc8s is quite an expensive iem well at least for me. I can't use flc8s for workout but who knows.

What are you using as your main iem..?


My main IEM is the wonderful Unique Melody Martian as well as my Vibro Aria’s.

I am more than happy with my flc8s, but these are screaming my name.. :)

I'm in the same boat. My FLC8S are so awesome, I wonder how much better-sounding a Celeste or an FLC9 could possibly get. (And also, if both the FLC9 and Celeste are tunable, why two models? Because each could presumably be tuned to match the other?!)

I'm really curious to see if these are really upgrades in terms of SQ, or just ergonomics and ease-of-use. I've listened to most of the TOTL IEMs out there and the only one that I feel is a clear upgrade over the FLC8S is the KSE1500 (which is an electrostat). It'll be interesting to see how much (if any) more accuracy FLC can squeeze out of balanced armatures and dynamic drivers...

Anybody know the release dates for either of these?

Seriously? Wow, thats sad for me, i was looking for an upgrade without going into bankruptcy :)

NICE! I have the FLC8S, as well as a bunch of others, but I'm interested to hear an improved FLC sound for sure. There is room for improvement (not a whole lot), and there is a lot of room to jack the price up :frowning2:.
I hope they don't go beyond $500, because then it enters the realm of crazy for me to justify yet another pair. I could sell the ones I have, but without hearing them, how will I know its worth the gamble to sell IEM's that I already know I like?!
I could do the old Amazon 30-day guarantee thing, but by then I'd already have sold off some beloved pairs.

Today I have got my spinfits delivered to me after almost 17 days. Currently listening to these while typing this post.

These are easily the best upgrade one can get without upgrading to a more expensive iem. Mids are the most noticable upgrade while some treble hotness is adjusted. Bass is like i have added red sub bass plug on top of black bass filter. Bass character is completely changed. Details are next level now.

I advise s size for a deep insertion. Comfort and isolation is much better now like it has completely disappeared from my ears.

Thanks to @csglinux for advising me this.
