Agreed purchase the new ones.
I was talking to one of the ladies over at Future Sonics about how long it will take to receive my SofterWear sleeves. She said about 5 to 7 days and I also asked her if it will fit on future Atrios. She said they're not going to change the nozzle. She said she just came from a meeting and found out from the meeting today and that for the next generation Atrios they might change the exterior but keep the nozzle since all their accessories fit that nozzle.
That would be awesome... their shells have needed to be redone for a long time. I would love to see it now, since I was/am considering picking up a pair of Atrios again with the reports of such improved treble. I'm still a little wary of the descriptions of lingering narrowish soundstage though. I wonder if an updated shape would create different acoustic reverberation, and possibly alter the sound characteristic somewhat.
I actually have nothing against the exterior of the current Atrios. I actually like the looks. I like how it's made of lightweight heavy duty plastic and a good rubber strain relief. The current exterior is very ergonomic and easy to handle. It's very easy on the ears with the exception of the eartips that come with the Atrios. Now I do wish the Atrios came with a better selection of eartips. Also brown, i never like that color for an earphone. I wish they would choose a color like lime green instead. Otherwise besides the brown color and selection of tips I'm fine with the current Atrios.
