You will not regret it. But by all means, do some serious (20-plus hours) burn-in with a pink noise file, just to be safe. I agree about the iPod needed more bottom. My daughter has the 5g unmodded iPod video, and it just sounds thin to me, no matter what EQ setting. The Atrios will give you some added oomph.

Trager's analysis was really on the mark.

You can get the Atrios on ebay (via seller roaddogonline) for $139 shipped, using the "make an offer" option. Offer $130.


Can't find roaddogonline

. Do you have the link?

Thanks

Had a pair of Bose that I got for free with frequent travel points. WAY too bassy for my taste. If you have enough EQ options you might be able to flatten it out reasonably, but they are very warm and muddy on the lows as is. I also didn't like the outside-the-canal fit. It's comfortable, but not secure. Even moving my head around while sitting still would loosen them. I gave them to my daughter, and she likes them, as they're way better than the stock buds that came with her PMP.

I'm in the market for new IEM's myself. Currently torn between the q-jays and the Atrio M5's, from what I've read.

Yeah, Bose is way bassy.

Looks like he has 8 E500PTH left at the $259 price. They are the same as the SE530, and better than the E5c.

After spending few months with the Atrio M5s, I'm quite happy with my purchase.

However, I'm looking for more comfortable ear tips or sleeves. I've been using the the black Shure Foam Sleeves (PA910S; small), and I find them to be fatiguing.

I read about inverting the Shure sleeves, but it's painful because plastic the tube is flared at that end and scratches my ear canal.

Has anyone had any experience in general with the five different ear tips that Klipsch makes?

Any comments or idea would be helpful.
