Future Sonics Atrio Canalphones
Introduction
If you're in the market for a decent set of earphones (or canalphones) and have done a bit of research, you have likely heard a thing or two about Future Sonics' Atrio series canalphones. Doing a quick Google search, skimming Future Sonics' website, or even consulting the handy-dandy "reviewer's guide" they sent me reveals quite a bit of hype surrounding these particular canalphones. Future Sonics even quotes several award-winning producers, composers and artists exclaiming their profound love of the Atrio. Now, I would be concerned about a company who didn't hype their product, but everything I've heard about these canalphones leads me to believe they were crafted by Jesus himself! I couldn't wait to hear the heavenly tones of my favorite music being reproduced by these babies! Did these canalphones live up to the hype, especially with so many big names backing them up?

on April 19, 2008 - 7:56 pm Do you realize that the best performance is when using foam ends not the rubber ones... He seems to have used them with other brand rubbers... not sure it's the right way to test a product... The bass is not boomy, it is very clearand powerfull, and the mids and high are also very clear... 4 - Posted by

on January 15, 2009 - 11:19 pm Decent review, but a lot of the abnormalities you note of clear up substantially with burn-in. I really want to try some Shure Olives (black foam sleaves). 5 - Posted by

on January 16, 2009 - 6:00 pm How long of a burn-in are you talking about Syrius? More than a month of regular usage?
