By how they treat sound, I think that they will make anything sound true and clear, because this is what they’re doing IMO…
The fit is comfortable and solid, less “rubbery” that other tips I have or that came with. And they don't cost that much (I paid 17 euros in Amazon, 3 pairs).

So, I had JVC spiral dots at my house. They had come with my old JVC HA FX850. They were boxed up and I didn’t realize I had them! They sound as good or better than my RHA’s and, most importantly, no driver flex!
Thanks guys! Love this forum!
don't understand, though, why the spiral dots sound better mids, tamer treble than the 'standard' silicon tips supplied by CFA with the Atlas. the two are remarkably similar in form factor, fit (both in the ear and on the iem nozzle), and bore hole size. seal comparable too. seems they'd sound about the same, but they don't. are these little spiral dots doing some kind of acoustic 'magic' or something?
For those who are having trouble with driver flex, I’ve found a few tricks that seem to help for me. Other than foam, I’ve found symbio tips seem to work best for my ears, with spiral dots coming in a close second. First thing, as others have said, is that it is key with any silicone tips that your ears are dry. On the symbios, I find that pushing the orange foam a little bit away from the tip (by pinching the tip so the foam recedes a bit toward the base of the sounbore) helps prevent driver suction and loss of sound. Also, and I have no idea why this seems to work, but I've tried it repeatedly and it is definitely a real thing, I find I rarely get suction if I put the atlases in my ears without them being plugged in to my DAP/phone/dac/amp.

Not strictly realted, but thought I'd post this here just in case anyone was interested - been lucky enough to get a review unit of the new Campfire flagship Solaris from Ken which arrived first thing this morning. As such, first knee jerk impressions of the Solaris are now up on Audio Primate after 6 solid hours with these things in my ears. This is way too short a time to make a proper assessment of an IEM, so treat these like show impressions and please don't read too much into any of this - Ken has also asked for these to be burned in for at least a week (and given some decent reasons for doing so, which I'll post up in the main review to avoid starting any discussions here!) - this is just my initial thoughts and a few nice pics.
TLR - I think these could be REALLY special. Time will tell!
wow Jackpot that was a great read! incredible first impressions, photos, and overall excitement you conveyed in your post. Am already looking forward to preordering these! And now i don’t feel so bad for selling my Atlas for the LCDi4 (which I am now returning for a full refund). The Solaris is one of those flagship IEMs that I wont have any problem spending that huge a sum of money on as I think it is really something special and the most cutting edge technology they have ever put into production. Other flagship IEMs just don’t seem to be worth the money compared to the Campfire quality and overall resale value. Now on to the release date....
