Surprisingly I think the bass is actually a little toned down from what I was using before (Shure silicones), but not in a bad way. The sound seems more balanced with a little more emphasis on the mid range, vocals seem especially clear. But that awesome deep bass hit is still very much there. Assuming these are fairly durable I've found my daily sleeves! Edit: they also stick out of my ears less |

You bastards. ___________________ Let us know what you think. Also, these will benefit from burn-in -- if you haven't done that before, research it in Head-Fi and elsewhere online, if necessary. It's pretty simple (I could even do it!). |

Forget worrying about how much you are spending on headphones because when you think about it, there's people here who have spent over a 1000 on SEVERAL headphones, and for $150, you can get one solid pair that will not disappoint. You spend much less than most people here do on their giant cans and you get something so much more than just another flimsy IEM that you can find on the wall at a Best Buy. Many of you reading this were probably directed here by somebody who answered your question about which IEM's are the best bang for your buck, and I can definitely say these fit the bill. Read as much of this thread as you can, and if you have more than enough to cover the cost, go for it. |

I did try the sleeves and the med were a little big and the smalls were a little small. Any quick advise would be appreciated since I just ordered from idealsound. I love my atrios but only put about 25-30 hrs of pink noise, should I put more? PS I am using a new meizu mini and at first I thought it didn't have enough power(bad source), once I got a good recording, wow plenty of power and great sound. Still havent ripped any studio stuff, what is the preferred program to rip? I hear alot about lame but also hear it is difficult to use, any comments? |
