Has anyone heard about this yet? It would appear that they're using new dynamic drivers, with an improved range of 18 Hz - 20,000 Hz.

See the link here: Atrio ® brand professional earphones - by Future Sonics

Do you suppose if I send back my older gen Atrios (which is need of repair, due to cabling issues), would I get this newer revision? It would appear they've discontinued the older Atrio line.

UPDATE: I emailed Futuresonics, and they confirmed that they will be sending out revision 2's for any damaged Atrio's. W00t! I'll be sending mine out next week

Too bad they didn't also improve the cheesy plastic housing...oh well, hopefully the sound is similar or better.

 

[robojack]

Agreed to both of your remarks. Hopefully they've improved the mid and treble range for a more detailed and balanced presentation.

I just hope they don't change the wonderful bass quality and presentation

Hm... I don't have my receipt anymore, do you think I could still get replacements? My cable is starting to get pretty hard and memory wire has fluid/green stuff in it...

 

[robojack]

I'm not sure about that, better to email their support team, and check.

I really hope the revision 2 won't have the memory wire/tube, since that was nothing but trouble. It wasn't sealed (like UE cables), so as expected lots of guck and dirt got inside, but most importantly, I wasn't able to clean it. As a result, the cable inside the memory tube had started to crack, and while it's sounding fine now, I suspect it won't be long (especially in this muggy summer heat) before I start experiencing degraded sound in that channel.

alright, thinking of suffering upgraditis and going to these..great news

Need a review though from one of you's before I commit though

Are the current one in their website the v2?

k yes it is.

 

[Styrbjorn]

Did anyone compare sound of 1st and 2nd revisions?
Is it worth to pay $30 more for rev.2 ?

I've sent an email to Sound earphones a while back, regarding if there were any difference between the ordinary one and the V2.

According to them, there aren't any big differences between the two.
