Ok, other thougts at this moment.  Today I managed to get my hands on a cable (tulip to minijack with ferrite core) and tried to record a short peace on my laptop and know it was completely distortion free. So the line-in function of the mp3 player now becomes a less big issue.   All I...

A few days ago my girlfriend washed my sporting clothes, and with them my Cowon J3 32GB player  Tried to revive it after I let it dry on the heater for 2 days, but no luck.    So now I have to find an other MP3 player, but to be honest I do not have the money at this time to buy a mp3 player...

Quote: They do respond! Had some e-mail contact yesterday and today. 

Quote: But the M5 nowdays has the MG7 driver. It's stated on the atrio.me website. In 2007 properbly not, but nowdays it does.

Today I received my pair. Pretty quick if you ask me. They were shipped on the 8th of May and I have them already. They were shipped just by ordinary ground mail. Not UPS or something like that, because that would be to expensive (almost $100). Now shipment only costs me $25. First impression...

Quote: Yeah possible. I don't really now how much they charge for headphones. We'll see, with a bit of luck it just passes the customs but I doubt it.   Shipment costs were $25 but that means I have to wait several weeks for the package to arrive. So shipment doesn't have to be between...

Quote: You're memory serves you right, I think you're referring to me, but I haven't received them yet. This can take a couple of weeks.  Atrio.me does not want to put on the invoice it's a gift or something, so properbly I have to pay some extra taxes. But this may deffer per country. As...

Mine are on their way to The Netherlands. Unfortunately it will take some weeks for the MG7s to arrive. But I'll wait patiently :-) I'm really curious about the bass! 

Yes they are. Heather remined me of the code. Google is your friend if you want to know the code.

I totally agree! But I have to be more patient. It can take a couple of weeks before I have them here.

Quote: Well I think you'll be surprised. Heather is doing a real good job. The normal shipment costs would be around $100 but she looked what the costs would be I they ship it with the standard Canadian post, and then it's around $25, but then I've to wait a bit longer for the package to...

Got this on twitter: "I believe tracking is now available for shipped atrio.me orders. contact them directly for tracking info."   So looks like everything should be fine by now.... Let's order a Atrio MG7 ;-) But then they first have to reply on my e-mail how I can get an order shipped to...

Quote: Oh yeah, that would be great! So when do you think you will receive the Crystals? In other words, when can I, ehhh I mean we, expect a comparison?

That's good news. I hope they manage to solve the problem fast.   And then now it's up to me to decide to order the MG7 with the risk of getting stiff cables (offcourse with the discount) or if I should order the HiSoundAudio Crystal IEMs. Any ideas?   If I understood correctly both...

Just noticed this topic. To bad I'm too late to particpate in the fund collection for Joker/Mike.  But the least thing I can do is to thank him for all his efforts!   Thnx mate!

Hmm it's very strange though that nobody knows what's going on there... Even if they are on some kind of holiday, put it on the website, use an automatic e-mail response or something like that. Strange, very very strange.

Quote: Thanks again for your great advice!

Well I tried to send the people of Atrio.me an e-mail but until now no response. Neither on a facebook message and a twitter message. Was wondering why they don't ship to The Netherlands. Wanted to order with the 50% discount code. But until now, no luck :(   edit: Looks like I'm not the...

How about these???

Would these be real ar fakes??? Ebay

On a dutch forum a guy told me the same, but then with the SE215, also in combination with the Cowon J3... At first I also couldn't believe it, but after reading this, I'm convinced it is possible... But still strange if you ask me...

  Quote: Well I'm coming from the Q-Jays of which I think, they can not go loud enough and sometimes lack a bit of bass. I know it's going to be a step backwards with a budget of only $100 but for now that's just the way it is.    

Have you checked the small filters you can put on them (the ones to avoid the IEM's internals to get dirty). Had the same sometime ago. In the end it was just the small black filter which was on one and not on both.

Looks like atrio.me doesn't ship to The Netherlands.. So unfortunately that's not working out.

What kind of IEM's would you experts advice to go with an Cowon J3? Most of the times I play Trance/House/Hardstyle music. I like bass, but it must controlled and deep, but not to overwhelming. It must be there when it needs to be there, but it shouldn't be there when it's not supposed to be...
