The flanges were also not right for me. Also, the bigger FS foams are too big for my ears. I've just ordered the T100 Standard Complys and the Shure Yellow Foamies. When they arrive I'll see which are best, and check back here to report. Thanks guys!

I've been using the M8s for the past several months, and came to the part when I need to think about foam replacements. First I though to get the famous and get it over with, but then I realized that there are so many options that I have, and I guess a little help will be essential in...

Caribou679, dap_pad, thanks for your inputs! The phones do seem like the best for my needs, with the black olives by Shure..

First of all thanks for all your replies, you've been extremely helpful (and confusing ) If I had 48 hours a day, I'd read the enormous thread regarding the Atrio's, but as far as I look at it, they seem like the logical way to go. How about their fit? Are they easy to insert/remove? Can I...

I googled around (guess what, Firefox does not recognize google as a verb) Anyway, they seem like they block out the noises, but i also would like to receive some high quality sound, because I care too much about the sound quality. (I have pretty decent speakers at home) And they seem like...

I've been looking into these Atrio M5s, and they do seem logical for me, I guess the dynamic drivers should provide much more natural sound than the armature ones. The problem is - will I miss the recessed highs, and if they are really dull. Can anyone try to explain more on the high frequency...

Thanks for your input manaox2, but the problem that it all sounds good on the paper, I'm looking for a opinion from someone who have been using these earphones, and maybe even compared them to any of the phones listed here. I'd like to give an example. I have very nice loudspeakers, and it...
