Tried handheldaudio? That's where I purchased mine, and I got some medium olives on ebay and can insert them much further than on that image above.

Actually I did earlier, but after using the quick find, selecting FS and in-ear systems, nothing showed up. After just selecting FS they do show up.

I wrote an email to ask them if they sell the revision 2.

i quite like the smooth character of my atrios but i'm finding theres too much bass and it overwhelms the rest of the music, is it worth trying different eartips or anything? otherwise they'll be for sale...

anyone else find them too bassy?

 

[Skillz]

Well I just ordered mine from Handheld.co.uk and they will be shipping them today! I had some trouble with the CC on the site, but after calling them they helped me right away and in a very friendly way, big thumbs up!

I also ordered the Shure Olives Medium and can't wait to test them out.
My only concern now is that they maybe sound a bit like the Mylerone XBi's,
all bass and now mids/highs. Guess time will tell...

have u tried burning them in for at least 100hrs? it will clean up the bass alot. Otherwise u cld want to try using either their Foam tips or complys.

 

[Tom Drinkwater]

yeah i bought them used, so should be burned in, tho i dont know how much use they've had, enough i think.

and i'm using complys from a westone UM1

 

[Tom Drinkwater]

i bought them used so should be burned in,

i'm using westone complys...

only other thing i can think of is maybe they are pointing the wrong way, but they seem to be fitting correctly, good seal, and comfy enough.

Got them a few weeks ago, along with a Cowon D2. My first impression was that of muddy water. Damn! A mistake! And I had made sure they fit properly in my ear, so there was no issue of muffled sound due to poor fit.

Anyway, firmware upgrade of the D2 improved matters somewhat, and after quite a few hours of playing I now feel Streisand is actually enjoyable on these small things, so burn-in is strongly indicated.

Streisand with intra-aural subwoofers! Nice...

I'm using Shure EA120 Yellow foamies and it is more comfortable than the stock foamies supplied. Forget about the silicon flange, I never get it to seal properly sometimes it does but I always need to adjust it back when I'm walking.

But now I can forget to adjust after using Shure foamies

IMO, the better seal you get, the better sound you'll hear

 

[tstarn06]

X2 on the Shure yellow foamies, which I also used when I had the Atrios (and still use with the Sleek SA6s). They are ugly, but relatively cheap and if they fit your ear, provide a great seal.

 

[4agze]

tstarn06, i found the black coloured silicon flange is more ugly and looks dirty because of the dark colour he he

 

[tstarn06]

Never used the flanges, just never could keep a good seal.

 

[drambu1e]

The flanges were also not right for me.
Also, the bigger FS foams are too big for my ears.
I've just ordered the T100 Standard Complys and the Shure Yellow Foamies. When they arrive I'll see which are best, and check back here to report.
Thanks guys!

Yes, as I have stated many many many times, the Atrio requires extensive burn-in before the drivers settle in. They do (as I recall) start out with recessed mids, muddy lows, and shrill highs, but that all evens out after 100 hours. [EDIT: And having just gotten a v2 pair, yeah, my statement still holds, though they still beat the hell out of my old burned-in EM3 straight out of the package! Great stuff!]

The D2 should be a great pairing with the Atrio, BTW.
