So...does it look like we'll get a direct comparison between the older and new Atrios?

Not sure. Someone was going to send me a pair of old Atrios from Canada, which should have arrived today or yesterday. Maybe I'll get something tomorrow? Or not.
 
Honestly, joker's review of v1 is, with some improvements to build and comfort, pretty much what I'm hearing now. I'll be interested to see if there is an audible difference in the treble. The new custom drivers have a boosted treble response and punchier bass compared to the previous driver customs, according to a pro sound engineer I emailed. I wonder if the Atrios are similar.
 
One thing though: ClieOS was right, these have definitely improved since first listen.

Ever get a chance to hear those old Atrios in comparison?  I imagine you've had to send your demo pair back by now, any final comments?

I updated my post with listening impressions. I think you will need to wait for another model to be released for a top tier or very good earphone. I'm not that impressed really.

Thank You Very Much for your listening impressions. I wanted one of these really bad but your impressions seems to be true from what i've read about previous Atrios models.

No, I think these are capable and enjoyable earphones if you like the sound signature.
 
Here is my Amazon review.
 
I like the greater balance of my coppers, but the differences are actually fairly small. With just a bit of EQ, the Atrios are great. It seems like FS is moving to a slightly less dark sound and I'll test that out soon. The audiologist I'm going to has the old Atrios. I'll hear his pair on wednesday.
 
Talking to Marty Garcia was really interesting. If a person is really interested in FS customs, I'd recommend talking to him or David Gray, the customer service rep. FS definitely has its own philosophy of sound and engineering.

@ Kunlun - did you manage to compare the new Atrios with the old ones?

 

[Confispect]

I'm curious about these but I'm also curious about there customs...Kind of old though.

 

[Levs]

Wrong, except in the sense that the original Future Sonics Ear Monitors were the first ever custom in-ear monitors.
 
The new MG6pro driver is has only been out for a few months. It's newer than the JH13 and JH16, for example, so you should definitely avoid those if something that's only a few months old is too old for you.

The new atrios have a bit more punch to the bass and the treble is better extended and a bit boosted (while still remaining quite natural).

I was talking strictly customs MG6pro driver or the one before it, I see the MG6 is new the MG5 is not.....anyhow yes I will avoid anything that hasn't came out yesterday. 

 I like me stuff brand NEW lol anyhow, liked your review superb. Makes me wanna check these out especially the extended treble that still stays natural oh boy.

Ha, actually it's a little confusing.
 
 
Universals, Atrios:
Old=Mg5 
New=Mg7
 
Customs, Ear Monitors
Old=MG4pro
New=MG6pro
 
Just to make it more confusing, FS is offering the new Atrios mg7 driver in a custom form which they are calling the MG5pro (musicians were asking for this option).

I know these just came out. If I wait a while say 6-8 months will the prices drop or do they have specials?

You just missed all the specials for black monday/digital friday or whatever the f they call it.  They had a variety of deals ranging from $30 to $50 off.  In general, Atrio prices are constant, at least directly from Future Sonics (which is the only real way you can guarantee that you're getting the new mg7 drivers if you order anytime soon.)

X2. They are really super new. I got my demo pair pretty much the moment Future Sonics got in a shipment to their headquarters.
 
Now that I've sent mine back, I miss them. While they have a stage monitor sound (the chief audio engineer for the Country Music Awards show recommended Atrios to me), they are pretty engaging, too.

You can also try at Mike's from FreqCity Sound. He's an upright guy and he sells the new atrios for 179$.

That is extremely messed up....not much of a price drop but enough. I think I have itchy fingers....
