Ohh god the varo already has a KS campaign? So sad, don't have money for both...

Would you say these are large and heavy? While I can wear medium tips, my ear is the size of a child's.

Weight with cable and tips is only around 17g in total - so no, they are pretty light.  Insertion (for me anyway) is on the shallow side - so I tend to use a larger tip than normal.  They aren't a small IEM - but they are very ergonomic.  I haven't had any issue with dislodgement - but that will very much depend on the tips you're using.

Maybe 1mm extra on the nozzle would be better then.

+1 for a longer nozzle to go with the wide shaft

Does size matter or is it how it fits?

The proverbial question...

Jkjk guys, I hope you got a chuckle out of that.

The Atlas uses filters similar to the Trinity Techne, Sidy DM-2, KZ ED9,KZ GR and many others that I can't think of at the moment.

As compared to Delta IIRC the Atlas has a longer nozzle and should snug in most people's ears with a slightly deeper insertion than the Delta. That combined with the Atlas ergonomics and I will say the fit is phenomenal and I would consider it to be far better than the Delta. Of course YMMV but I'm sure many will agree on this.

I'm able to pop them in my ears and forget about them.

When it comes to IEMs, especially one that seems almost perfect in all other areas, i really worry about isolation. I skipped on the DUNU Titans because the isolation wasn't enough but from a value standpoint it was the best sound i'd heard. I really hate having to turn up my music on the bus to compensate for external noise. Shure IEMs might have a little too much isolation unless you're on a plane or a war zone, while the RHA MA-750 seems to have my preferred level of isolation (with stock tips or sony hybrids).

Is "isolation-head" a thing? Haha

The filters tuning is based on how much free air can escapee before it reaches your ear. So the more air to escape, the bigger the vents in the filter, which also means less isolation. But this applies to just about every earphone. I would say that with the least bassy filter, the isolation on the Atlas is still better than average, but with the bassier filters the isolation is phenomenal. The added bass also helps block out outside noise as well.

That's useful information. Thanks!

im with you. I skipped the Titan1 and picked the Zero Audio Duoza. I value isolation a lot but also has to have minimalist leakage. I don't want to annoy ppl in public.

The Atlas/Helio Kickstarter is killing it in terms of funding. With 11 days left to capitalise on these for a bargain basement price. If you haven't already, don't miss out in a chance to get these before the price goes up.

Cheers

I'm in, finally

 

[Walderstorn]

We need more publicity to get these last 2000, i mean how come people dont take advantage of such a deal is beyond me.

I'm fairly confident that Bob will not only meet, but also exceed the goal for fundraising on these. The backing has been consistent and steady.

 

[Hisoundfi]

I'm sure many are holding out for a while as well, keeping their options open as long as possible. As it nears the end quite a few on the fence will jump on these.
