Out of interest, how well do these stay in the ear? I used to use my old atrios in the gym and I'd like something else i can use there.

Just downloaded Swinsian because of this thread; dear god is it faster for library and iPod sync. It is getting my money asap!   I tend to use vox for actual playback, mind. I miss foobar2000 dreadfully.

Primarily JVC FX850s which have a 16ohm impendance, provided i get on with them when they arrive anyway!   Occasionally Audio Technica A900s which are 40Ohm

Does this have enough power to amp from line out on an iPod classic? Debating grabbing one but don't see a great deal of point if I'm just running it off the headphoen output.

Almost pulling the trigger on these... but also considering the cardas....   Would take second in line to those if they went up for sale, mind.

Thankyou so much! Hitting order now. Excited!

I just want confirmation that comply tips fit, is the last question before I hit buy on this!

I know that... but where can I buy replacements if they wear out/get too dirty/i lose them?

So what tips fit these? I would like to buy a set but need to have replacements available! I use large foams genearlly.

But foam tips get mucky and wear out eventually. I prefer the fit and sound from foam rather than silicon so will need replacements eventually! It is very important to  me. I'd love it if Futuresonics tips fit but don't expect they will.

Thankyou! And finally, what about replacement tips? As they are JPN imports I dont' want to faff around getting ones from JVC over there... is there any good foam tips? I always used the Large futuresonics foams as they were the best for me.

Thanks for the comparison to the Atrios! What is the isolation like? The potential venting concerns me, as I will be using them in a noisy atmosphere quite a lot

My FutureSonics Atrio M5s have just died... I enjoyed the heavy hitting sub bass and decent isolation with foam tips.... would these be a worthy upgrade? They will be used on the move extensively.   Getting sucked into a whirlpool trying to buy a new set of headphones, These are the very top...

Bump!   Currently looking at XBA-H3 and JVC FX850... is this the right direction?

After 5 long hard years of service, my Futuresonics Atrio M5s have hit the dust.... and as they are no longer avaialble, I need to replace them with something else.   I like the bassy sound and good isolation with the foam tips. I am UK based and willing to spend up to £250... can anyone advise?
