Oh PS, here's a link to SoundEarphones.com, which carries the Atrios and appears to do international shipping

Hey there everyone is stearing you toward higher end canalphones.

Headroom (Headphone.com has some real honest reviews)

$0-$50/USD Denon C551 or
new Senns cx300 of 400

$50-100/USD Senn cx500's or Q-jays but Q-jays take alot of maint.

Over $100.00 Start thinking about Customs but then you'll be changing from dynamic drivers to Balanced Armature drivers and your brain will need a little break-in time.

Hearyourslf.com/ Alien Ears AE1's
The least expensive of all of the custom molded and I like them. I have the C3's but the jury is still out.
Live Wires only have Dual Driver and start at 250/ USD but have good reviews.

I went from cx300's to Audio Technica ATH-CK7's.
Bought them from a head fi member for £25 with a selection of different tips but they're worth the £65 new.

The sound is well balanced, with good detail, although they'll sound bright and fatuiging for a while after having CX300's.

The bass is well controlled and definately not lacking either. You get a good thump and good prescence without muddying up the rest of the sound.

I lost them the other day (thankfully found them again now) and had to use my old knackered sennhiesers and they sounded like crap compared to the CK7's.

quantity != quality.

Often people confuse this when it comes to bass.
