I received FLC8S from Massdrop yesterday. They sound great and everything looks like advertised except the cable guides around ears are missing. This makes me concerned about the cable long term durability.

Pete.rHi Pete.r,
I'm pulling this information from the head-fi forum for FLC8s - the removal of the cable guides is a recent update to the FLC8s that you will see in all the latest models. That is because, put simply, the cable guides sucked. They were too stiff and didn't sit well on most people's ears, causing microphonics and comfort issues. So it was removed, which enables better wearability. I wouldn't have any concerns about long terms durability - especially because the cable can be replaced. You can order the old cable off LMUE for ~$30 Singaporean Dollars. Hope this helps :)
