I'd argue the Atlas has a better fit (deeper insertion and isolation), but a more uncomfortable fit (heavy) whereas the Andromedas has a more shallow insertion (shallower fit and worse isolation), but are less heavy and can be compensated by proper tips. Weight, however, can not be compensated really unless you use hooks?

I find that deeper insertion results in less soundstage.
I can confirm that as I am having quite tiny ear canals. The only way for me to get a good isolation for IEMs over-ear is the smallest sony hybrids / Spinfit SS - small Symbio is already too large for me. With Atlas I have to opt for larger tips, but the isolation is not that deep and fit overall is slighly worst.

Is there a way to get the 'hooks' off of the cable? I really don't enjoy the over-ear feeling.
If you are careful enough
However, some of the "hooks" are strongly attached to the cable.

I recommend these tips for smaller ears: https://www.amazon.com/SpinFit-CP24...619547&sr=1-7&keywords=double+flange+ear+tips
I have them in as I type this message.

I am not sure, but I think I might have tried them in the past. You are not getting any driver flex with these?

What is driver flex?
I think I've read somebody complaining about the Spinfit flange tips, but driver flex should mainly concern DDs. It's distorted sound that has arisen from extra air pressure. BAs should not have these problems, my bad.
Try the linum Bax cable. They don't have the memory wire on the ear hooks.

Possibly u12t.
But I haven't listen it yet.
It was the case of the U18 (sort of "super Andromeda" ?)

I'm not against criticism. There's no such thing as a perfect review, I was merely stating that for this particular review, I thought it well understandable
With regards to how you have to cover everything under the sun to call it a review, that I disagree. I'm not going to claim that the handful of reviews I have written are the best, but I try to the best of my ability, to talk about what I does well in the confines of what I feel I can do well in. That means writing about things I'm familiar with.
There is a reason why companies try to get multiple reviewers, because they know that no one reviewer can cover everything under the sun
Sorry to bring up old post. It is not my intention to attention to WCDchee.
IMHO, there is no good or bad review. As the readers/audience who read the review varies based on the different sound preference, music genres, and many subjective factors...
It is good if a reviewer can firstly introduce their listening/sound preference, music genres in each of their review. If it does not suit my taste, I will skip.
Let's enjoy music while reading forum/review
Always remember review can be bias to individual preference. IMHO

I wrote a post on how to removed the memory wire from Campfire cables: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/new-campfire-comet-and-atlas.876320/page-88#post-14293239
