It just does not mean **** apart from that you are a troll/flamer.
Lastly, if fanboyism in terms of expressions like yours always keeps up. Then after a while it dies down after the main leaders hear something better. (How about we pit Livewires against Atrios to be fair since the price range is similar?)

For one, I did not say I didn't like the ER4Ps. I just found a different set of IEMs I like better. Second, saying that recessed mids were "one person's opinion" is hardly a personal attack. Third, his opinion was fine, at least until he belittled anyone who favors the Atrio over the Ety as some sort of hifi moron. Read it again. Troll? Flamer? BS. This is the first time I have ever said anything negative to anyone on this forum, and it was in response to someone who obviously felt compelled to launch a personal attack on others (not just me).
Of course, it's easy to just write it off as "fanboyism," but that's just a ridiculous characterization. I could care less about your friend's opinion on the Atrios, but there was no reason to put down anyone who favors one over the other. Plain and simple. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to come to their friend's defense. Not long, as it turns out.
For me, the Atrios offered a better sound than the Etys. Again, I could care less if anyone feels differently, but I believe I am entitled to defend myself after a personal attack. And that's what his post was all about. Not the differences between the Etys and the Atrios.
Sorry I don't meet your high audiophile standards. But I don't see the connection between my "credentials" and my right to defend myself after a personal attack.
I'm not a fanboy, I just like the Atrios more than the Etys. I don't begrudge those who feel otherwise. But I don't have be kind to a person who apparently doesn't share the same non-judgmental POV.
Oh, and as others have pointed out, the Atrios and Livewires are not in the same price range. As for my familiarity with hifi equipment, what do you know about me? Nothing. My home hifi rig, outside of this headphone stuff, is probably worth more than your car. I just don't think spending thousands of dollars on DAPs, headphones and headphone amps is worth it. Guess that's my right, no?
