The stock cable is overly stiff and combined with my glasses was an uncomfortable fit. The best news for me was that the 8s arrived with the upgrade cable already in place so I avoided use of the stock cable except to do some sound comparisons as Ngoshawk requested my thoughts on the cables. Once attached, they stay solidly in place so no worries during use of the 8s but when changing filters, it can be a challenge for aging eyes and clumsy fingers. Filters themselves are tiny and with these being on loan, I was very weary of potentially losing one. The fact that 3 different filters fit into these small housings means that any slight misalignment or wobble during production and everything fails to work correctly. I saw no weak points in the shell that I would worry about coming apart over time. The housing feel solid and seams fit well with no obvious gaps or mis-alignments. At first glance, I thought they might be colored aluminum shells due to the fit and finish. The housing is all plastic which may turn some people off, but seems well enough put together. The 8s by FLC is a smaller than average uniquely shaped iem designed for over ear wear. I’ll admit, I really don’t want to return them but will have to buy my own soon. I’d like to thank for graciously loaning me the FLC8s to try. I did not cover un-boxing or the accessory kit as I received the product without the box and with filters already mounted. I was loaned the FLC8s to audition before purchasing the b400 or LZ A4.
