Hi all,
I recently aquired the Future Sonic Atrio M5, and I'm having mixed feelings towards them. Perhaps it's because my ears are used to bigger phones such as the HD595 and MS-1. Most of the sound is pretty nice, but the mid-highs seem somewhat shrill and generally don't sound great.
I'm using the foams, as the flange tips don't really fit my ears (the large are too large for my canal, and the smalls don't isolate at all), but the isolation through those isn't that great for use on the London Underground.
I'm looking for new tips, in the hope that they will fix the isolation problems at least, and perhaps sort the high end out a bit too.
I've narrowed the search down to the UM Complys or Shure Olives, hearing mixed things about both with regard to sound quality, fit and isolation.
So, my main priority is isolation and fit, with sound quality being a bonus.
Are the Olives anything like the Marshmallow tips? I had problems with those slipping out...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Regards,
Dave
