Future Sonics Atrio M8 IEM earphones MINT International - eBay (item 190381437019 end time Mar-27-10 06:45:55 PDT)

It has a cleaner and slightly colder sound that pairs with the Atrio nicely.

I've had some Futuresonics Atrios for about 3 months now. Initially I tried the silicone ear tips, but didn't think any of the sizes were much good so I've been using the supplied foamies since then. I decided to try the silicone tips again the other day as I was finding the foamies uncomfortable. Well, glad I did as the large ones seem to fit great and I'm now loving these IEMs again, absolutely amazing with bassy electronic stuff!

How do these compare to say senn IE8 or denons C710?

Damn! i lost my silicone tip! Is there anywhere else to get them besides Future Sonic themselves?

What size? I might have an extra one I never use that you could have for the cost of postage.

anyone no info on the version 3?

Very interested in hearing what Furture Sonics can pull off. Their last offering sounded very nice.

Anyone know if the v3's are out yet or if we'll be able to trade in v2's for them (+ cash?)

 

Also, a quick plug for Future Sonics...I had Atrio v1's that split at the base where the memory wires inserted about 8 months after purchase, and they replaced them with v2's at no charge.  Great company...that experience is partly why I'm excited about the v3's!!

Yes! I just spoke today with the owner of Future Sonics (it was a bit cheeky on my part) to get the straight dope on things. Mr. Garcia, was very nice.

 

It turns out that the green recyclable packaging for the new mg7 driver Atrios held things up for quite some time. As we speak, however, the new shipment of Atrios are "on a truck somewhere" en route to Future Sonics. So, they are literally days away from being available!

 

I'll just paste the other news:

 

Further, the mg6 Ear Monitors have been out for a bit... And, as is their usual policy, Future Sonics asked for feedback. They took note of what performers and high-end "prosumers" wanted and changed a few things. Now the Mg6pro custom Ear Monitors will be out soon.

 

And FS will be offering a new custom dynamic in ear monitor as well! They will be doing a 10mm driver custom (similar but a bit different than the mg7 10mm driver in the Atrios) to go with their 13mm Mg6pro. The 10mm driver custom iem will sell for $698 and the 13mm Mg6pro remains at $898.

 

 Apparently, Future Sonics has created a new consumer division to lay the proper groundwork for expansion. We'll be hearing more from them soon! And samples of their mg7 Atrios have already gone out to CNET and some other reviewers.

 

 
 

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!  I'm super pumped.  I've been comparing my Atrios to the HJE900's I recently purchased, and while the 900's sound great, they've really given me a renewed appreciation for how smooth my M8's sound.  I keep bouncing back and forth between the two, and the Atrios really would go from being great to fantastic if the new drivers improve the treble...

AND THE NEW MG7 ATRIOS (IN BLACK AT LEAST AND PROBABLY THE OTHER COLORS, TOO) ARE IN STOCK AT FUTURE SONICS!!!

 

Email David Gray over at FS and let him know he is a glorious, handsome person! And you can buy some new Atrios while you're at it!

 

Once again, they are supposed to have better treble extention and headroom. Other than that, I can't say. I will be hearing these very soon. Maybe if someone has an old pair of Atrios in NYC, we can meet and compare them (pm me, no creepy people, I am a delicate flower!).  

I just recently purchased a Cowon J3 and to go with it I bought some new earphones - the Atrio M5 (MG7) earphones which just arrived today.  I have some mixed feelings thus far over the earphones.  I was hoping they would provide more isolation than they currently do.  I've tried both the comfort fit foam sleeves and the earfills silicone sleeves (all sizes), and I don't notice a real difference between the two with regards to isolation.  I could still hear plenty of outside noise.  I've made sure to seat the earphones properly too.  Is it just me or is that just how they are?

 

Then there's the bass.  These things have been touted as bass monsters and that they're among thE best in terms of quality and quantity with regards to bass.  I was hoping to not use the EQ on the J3 and "color" the sound...but I'm finding the bass to be quite lacking otherwise with a flat EQ.  Again, I've made sure to seat the earphones just right, and my ears are as clean as they can be.  The treble doesn't seem to really shine at lower listening volumes either.  When I got the volume a bit higher, than I like to listen at, the treble really shined.

 

Granted I've only listened to the M5s for about four hours straight before my J3 ran out of juice...but I was expecting more overall upon hearing them for the first time.  I've read that dynamic drivers need to be burned in 100 hours before they sound like they're supposed to...but I've also read much debate on whether that really holds true or not.  These are only my initial impressions and I'm sure my ears need to adjust a lot more to the earphones...so I'm reserving any final judgments.

Hmmm lacking bass on the Atrios? Poor isolation? sounds like a fit problem to me, try experimenting with more with tips.
