What is up with this -

Roberto Alomar atrio - Hall of Fame edition?

Quote:

Futuresonics is a U.S. company, but if you order from atrio.me the earphones will be shipped from a warehouse in Hamilton I believe. That should be pretty awesome for you.

Got my Atrio today, I don't feel they go as low as Hippo VB though, the bass is great texture, very alive, I can see why people like them but for me still not enough low end rumble, something I feel Hippo VB did better. Hippo VB might not be perfect and fall short in areas the Atrio does proudly. But for over all bass buzz value the VB are a better choice for me and a slightly better high end too. but..... for overal sound value I still love my EPH-100 over them both.

I only got them to compare and am selling the Atrio moving them on.

Hippo VB will always hold a place in my heart, they were my first basshead IEM's. Makes life awkward because you constantly look for something better, especially when you appear to find the best one first going slightly backwards, Mind you VB would win purely from a bass quantity perspective. with maybe a little brighter high end. but with that high end on VB comes some sibilance for the first 100 hours. Atrio don't have any sibilance plus sound amazing all over. But for pure bass freaks you know? 'ball shaking bass'... VB win my vote.

You have that right to hold onto the first earphone love. Glad you can hold onto them.

I've changed by mind 

 I'm going to keep my Atrios I can't put my finger on why but there's something about them I like. For the price I paid <> $70 I doubt I'll come across them anytime soon for such a steal and they do justify that price tag. I modified some Sony Hybrid clones onto the nozzle using a PL21 tip spout > then the Hybrids over that, the bass is very very sub like. It may not go quite as deep as VB but it sure does rattle the skull with better texture. They also handle volume from my E11 really well which is what impresses me the most.

I like earphones that can come to the party when asked, these do that without distortion at high volumes.

EQ it and amp it. What tips do you use?

I used these Sony hybrids clones I got from ebay x3 = $3 Using a spout I cut from a PL21 tip, works as nice sleeve. 





Atrio are very interesting design / materials used. They sure took no expense creating the most hideous IEM on planet earth. When I pick them up they feel like something you win from a kinda surprise egg or those $2 twist chewing gum machines seen at your local shopping mall. This colour is rare? I can see why no-one has it.

They sound pretty good out of my PC using a sound blaster usb sound card < very good piece of equipment. However the Atrio only sound average from my E11 / ipod mini combo. Not even my Clip+ makes them shine. I was doing some A/Bing with my Yamaha EPH-100 / Turbines, the Atrio I feel they fall behind especially against EPH which has to be heard to be believed imo. I've come to the conclusion after using my laptop as a source with the sound blaster that my rockboxed ipod mini is a  POS! I have an E10 coming next week, hopefully I like it. 

 
At the moment I'm back on the bench of whether to keep them.

just a heads up for those interested i just listed a pair for sale $75 http://www.head-fi.org/t/609625/atrio-mg7#post_8375119
 

 

[Bart1981]

Today I received my pair. Pretty quick if you ask me. They were shipped on the 8th of May and I have them already. They were shipped just by ordinary ground mail. Not UPS or something like that, because that would be to expensive (almost $100). Now shipment only costs me $25.
First impression: What a bass! Furthermore it's a bit difficult to tell how they are compared to my Q-Jays because they haven't been burned in yet. So beside form the bass I think the sound is far from optimal at the moment. The low and high tones are quite ok, but the middle tones are quite bad. Right now I just have my J3 playing all the music I have on it to burn them in. 
 
What I can tell is that, as expected, there is way more (sub)base in it! Putted on some bass tracks like this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5Q34oTXd0o) and I was really amazed. Also they go a lot louder compared to my Q-Jays.
 
Didn't know that that many foams would come with the earphones. 1 Pack with black foams and one pack with pink foams (both 2 pairs of M and 2 pairs of L). Excellent for me because for my left ear I use the M foams and for my right ear I use the L foams to get a good seal. 
 
Love them already.
