how about hippo vb, have heard there good

seems to be great on bass, but i am afraid about the highs been sibilance. EQ may solve if it doesn’t have harmonic distortions (peaks along the frequency curve). And someone told to be on the dry side (and warm). Well, I can tell you the Ultra Hi-Fi experience is on the liquid, mellow and a bit  more on the cold side, just to be more smooth and comfortable to hear for a long time.  Well, have to buy to test! BUT… I recommend  first trying with great earbuds and  have a great IAUDIO player and play with your EQ!

actually I bet the atrio with the new m7 in a few months will be great

I honestly hate how new=better seems to be the standard on these forums, and very few ppl recommend older models of headphones. I for one after 2 months of reading the forums to find what i wanted ended up buying atrio v2 about a year and a half ago and never looked back .. i listen to every kind of music but more often listen to dubstep, drum n bass and electro house at work and couple hours a day listen to death metal. i think atrios are absolutely incredible for there price i cant imagine anything sounding much better without spending like 4x the money, but it seems that since atrios are "old" nobody ever really mentions them or suggests them to ppl.
I've already contacted FS about the new driver and if there will be an upgrade special when they are released and i was told to expect a promotional upgrade for a short time when they are released and i for one will definitely be jumping on that. ive tried half a dozen other good bass headphones but frankly for they all fell short in some aspect. Atrios are just plain an all around bass lovers dream with any music.

nice curious to see what promotion they are going to do

 

[deadguy99]

same promo as there other product lines .. send in your old phones and get new ones for half price

 

[tacomn]

but they already have that now. I thought he was saying when they come out with ver. 3 there is going to be a big promotion going on

YOU MUST EQ YOUR EARBUDS WITH IAUDIO (OR ANY OTHER DEVICE/SOFTWARE WITH GREAT NO DISTORTION EQ): IT IS ALL ABOUT INCREASE THE SUB-BASS FREQS (20-80 HZ), LOWERING DOW A LOT THE OTHERS (NEGATIVE VALUES) AND INCREASE HIGHS AND TOTAL VOLUME. NOT ALL PHONES CAN HANDLE IT, BUT GREAT EARBUDS WITH LARGE DRIVES CAN!!! YOU WILL GET THE REAL LIFE SOUND THAT VERY FEW PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD KNOWS HOW TO ARCHIVE. WITH IAUDIO DAP, TAKE SOMETING LIKE THIS ON THE 5 BAND EQ: +12, +4, -6, -2, -1. OFF COURSE IT DEPENDS ON THE EARBUD YOU ARE LISTENING TO. YOU HAVE TO BE SENSITIVE AND TRUST AND TRY TO SHAPE THE SOUND TO HIGH-FIDELITY. IT IS AN ART. GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just bought Audio Technica CKS70 from another member.And wow! I have to say i think they have more bass impact then my Atrios(which i have sent back,still on warranty because they fell apart).Very full,deep with great extension.But yes they are unbalanced because of the laid back highs.The Atrios are more balanced without losing that great bass.But i changed the tips to Sony's EX and with my Cowon S9 they sound excellent and a lot more balanced because of the great EQ. When WWWwWWWWWhenWhen i get my Atrios back i'm going to do an A-B.

great! I wait for your A-B.

 

[ramostudio]

Hmmm. The FX500 sounds interested. Might have a look in the FS

 

[cn11]

When I had them, the FX500's had amazingly deep, taut bass. Just about the cleanest I've ever heard.
