I love this earphones, they sound super clear and fit perfect in the ears, can wear them with no discomfort at all as if they weren't over my ears, my brother has Audio-Technica ATH-M50x and this FH1 sound much better, sound coming out of my Sony NW-ZX300 Hi-Res Walkman and FLAC songs, I'm very happy with my buy, and no loose connection with the cables, one thing I haven't try yet is the balanced cable because the plug is 2.5mm and my Sony NW-ZX300 has a 4.4mm balanced connection, I'm looking to buy a balanced cable with the 4.4mm plug or an adapterDefinitely recommend the FH1
