My take on the different filters and how they change the sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AnAEu01F_g (My fave combo is gold nozzle + default bass.)

So can anybody make sure, the diference from flc8n is only the round metal case switched to plastic case? Or is it the iem's shell materials that got changed?

NandotampuThe difference is the shell/house, in FLC8N is metal, and in FLC8P is plastic. The driver, filters, are both the same. And the other difference is the cable, a single core in FLC8P version. The price difference of more than 100 for these 2 differences, the shell material and the cable.

Get the upgraded flc8d (I would) with a metal shell at amazon for 20 bucks more without the long wait for drop shipping and it has a metal shell, did I mention a metal shell?: https://www.amazon.com/FLC8d-Fixed-Low-Frequency-Earphones/dp/B07D6WCS9J/ref=pd_sbs_23_t_0/136-6449641-1589558?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07D6WCS9J&pd_rd_r=6f9c4646-a581-4b92-ab13-5682b314472c&pd_rd_w=OXmcj&pd_rd_wg=dqQ7M&pf_rd_p=5cfcfe89-300f-47d2-b1ad-a4e27203a02a&pf_rd_r=D8HCB9MET2BYQAKG8VSY&refRID=D8HCB9MET2BYQAKG8VSY

jaxtraumaIn fact the FLC8D is based on the FLC8N, but without the bass and sub bass filters, having only the 4 midrange and treble filters. The FLC8P comes with all FLC8N filters, except that it is plastic instead of metal. For the price difference, I think the FLC8P a great deal.

The original FLC8n was ~$300, and to me it felt like it didn't really excel in any particular category but did well enough to where it wasn't a dealbreaker. The appeal of the FLC8 was its versatility; you could buy it blind and tweak it to find a sound that you enjoyed all while having completely capable technicalities. Though there were only a few filter combinations that I actually took a liking to, it was more of a "find your tuning, then leave it at that" kind of modularity, as opposed to an on-the-fly adjustment system. It is a hassle to pull out the plugs from the rear end and front, as they are tiny and a pain to deal with. But at $169, it seems pretty tempting. You'll get resolution, ergonomics, and detail that are well-deserving of a higher price tag, but there are some earphones out there nowadays that will best the FLC8n overall in timbre and tone at a lower price nowadays. Again, the appeal is in the adjustment system.

This new tuning focused trend that I've seem from IEMs seems really interest, but I'm curious as to how these actually sound and if EQ could have equivalent effects with less effort.

EmmanuelRFI reviewed the originals of these back on my written blog and the tuning is great. You'll often get a slightly better result from the tuning than EQ because EQ is rarely implemented without some (at least slight) degree of signal degradation. On top of that, the changes to the dynamic driver vent (one of the tuning methods) are changing the physical movement characteristics of the driver, not just the frequency response so there will be subtle changes in character that EQ can't produce. Whether they make it worthwhile is another question of course. If these really are identical with just different cases, they're a great IEM and with a listen.
