I need some help, i really like the atlas sound signature but it's so volatile, and the only way i ever get a good seal is with pushing them in. I've tried symbio wide bore, spiral dots, even over ear, tried silicone over ear sheaths everything .... the only thing that gave a good seal was the comply foam but it just subtracts so much bass :/ makes them sound like crappy apple ear buds. At this point, seems i have wasted $1899 AUD.

So my question

What IEM is similar to the atlas but fits a lot easier?

I've been thinking of the following.
1. Sennheiser IE800
2. 64 Audio U8
3. Sony MDR EX1000

Any advice would be very appreciated.

Definitely not the ex1000 :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: (doesn’t sound anything like the atlas AND the fit can be a bit weird)

Any suggestions mate?

Well I’m personally not a huge fan of Atlas, so it might be better to get impressions from someone who is. If you’re interested in giving another Campfire Audio IEM a chance, Vega could be a nice option (or Equinox if you want to try custom IEMs).

I don’t think I’ve heard the U8, but the ie800 could be a decent choice? It’s kinda V-shaped, and it’s much lighter/smaller than Atlas.

What’s your budget?

Owned the vega before the atlas, prefer the atlas for the bass :D

Ideally under $1000 USD, yeah i can get the IE800 for a steal ($460 USD) so might pull the trigger on them (brand new from a retailer.

Any recommendations for bass heavy IEMs (but still punchy and more sub than mid bass).

Thanks!
