Well, prepare to be amazed, as here's a nod for the Atrios, at least in terms of SQ. This is not to denigrate the SQ of the UM2, which to my ears, is definitely excellent. But the Atrios provide that little extra bass "thump" which can mean the difference between something that just sounds good, to something that can get your toes tapping. (I use Shure olive foamies on both).
That said, as far as comfort goes, the nod would have to go to the UM2........of all the IEMs I have, the UM2s are by far the easiest to insert, the most comfy while in the ear, and they also have the best non-microphonic, non-tangling cord out there. Just my opinions of course.
