Review: Future Sonics Atrio Special Edition Earphones

Atrio Special Edition Earphones

Anyone that knows me knows that I love music. And when it comes to listening to music on my iPod I am extremely picky about the sound quality – standard earbuds just don't cut it. Call me a music snob if you will, but the way I look at it is if I'm shelling out hundreds of dollars for an MP3 player (or similar device), I want to listen to my music in the best sound quality possible. And boy, did I find the earbuds (or earphones, I should say) that deliver! As soon as I put Future Sonics' Atrio Special Edition (ASE) Earphones in my ears I was blown away by the crystal clear audio coming out of something so tiny…and bass response? Wow! Certainly better than anything I've heard before.

The Atrio ASE earphones are equipped with Future Sonics' proprietary studio-grade dynamic driver, which helps to create the signature audio that Future Sonics says "can't be reproduced by any other earphone manufacturer at any price." The multi-driver and cross-over free ASE's provide full range audio for use on stage, in-studio, or with an MP3 player, iPad etc. Along with the eco-friendly zipper case, they come with multiple silicone earpieces, ensuring you get the right fit. Another very important feature to note is they are fully endorsed by the H.E.A.R organization, providing "BIGGER SOUND @ lower volume" for hearing health. How many earphones can say that??Read more
