Atlas makes for an absolutely awesome on-ear headphone.  Doesn't isolate well, but boy does it sound marvelous.  Good bass depth and overall great linearity and treble extension (although it could be a little edgy at times).  Essentially, it's a headphone with linear bass and great energy throughout.  Definitely a recommend on my part if you can live without the isolation

I got these yesterday and man, they sound wonderful. It has a really fun V shaped sound sig.

The only downside,,,, that lack of noise isolation, i can hear everything around me

My review unit arrived today. I agree with your assessment, but I also have an issue with how easily the 3.5mm jack detaches from the left ear cup. Does your unit's cable detach easily too? I used the MEElec cable on my V-moda M-80 and it locked in place with a click. So it could be a design issue.
 
My initial impressions:
*Sound hits above the price point. I hear it as a U-shaped where the mids are not too far behind. Bass gets low and the treble is nice.
*Comfortable- lightweight and right amount of clamping force
*design is nice (I got the Orion)
*Build quality is on par with the price point: sturdy plastic with flat metal band for support
*Isolation is below average with ambient sound leaking in and music leaking out
*damn cable disconnects in the slightest tug

My cable is very secure actually.

I haven't heard of the Atlas before, but Meelectronic's IEMs are popular around here. I just bought the A161P the other day.
