Summary: Excellent, listenable in-ear phones 2008-09-17
Comment: I received these in-ear phones from RoadDogOnline through Amazon about a week ago. I have been using Shure E-4's for about 2 years, and Koss over the ear headphones for about 5 years. This is my first review. The Atrio's are so good I thought I would share my thoughts.
Unlike the Shures, these do not loop behind the ears. Using the foam tips, the Atrios stay in place fairly well, though the Shures felt more solidly in place. Construction is sturdy. They don't feel like they'll break apart in your hand. Out of the box, the Atrios provide a variety of silicone and foam ear tips (I'd be very surprised if you could not find a comfortable fit)and a case that's large enough to carry a small DAP along with the phones. The Atrios are considerably more comfortable than the Shures and the over ear headphones.
I drove all three sets of phones from my iAudio X5. I listen to 60's and 70's rock, folk, and classical ripped with a high sampling rate. The Shures are very solid performers, and I don't regret owning them in the least. However, they are a bit light on the bass and almost too crisp in the treble range. The Koss over ears sound very good as well, but are not portable. The Atrios are an absolute pleasure. The bass in comparison to the Shures is excellent, and the higher frequencies are gentler, more mellow. You can just leave these things in your ears forever and listen and listen without tiring. The brightness of the Shures is excellent for critical listening but for just sheer pleasure the Atrios win hands down.
The one significant negative for the Atrios is that they do not block noise nearly as well as the the Shures. My E-4's will go on the plane with me, and the Atrios will be at my desk at work.
At $150, these are a steal.

Summary: OK replacement for Bose Headset 2008-08-09
Comment: I bought these earbuds after reading a review on MaximuPC magazing. I bought them to replace my Bose Quiet comfort2 Headset because I'm trying to lighten my load traveling by air. They sound great using my SanDisk Sansa, but not so good when I plug them into my logitech 5.1 Surround for my computer. Probably would not spend $150.00 again to buy these.

Summary: Best Around 2008-06-23
Comment: These are the best ear buds around. First off, you need to use the foam sleeves in order to get a great seal. That will make all the difference. The foam sleeves are meant to be used only for a month or two before you need to replace them. You can get replacement sleeves from future sonics website. I have used Shure, Sennheiser, Bose, and many others. Future Sonics custom inner ear monitors are used by many of the best musicians in the world such as U2, Alicia Keys, The Police, Daughtry, Allman Brothers, Bon Jovi, Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, Counting Crows, Eric Clapton, and Pearl Jam just to name a few. Go to the Future Sonics website to see the list of musicians and sound professionals who use Future Sonics products, you will be impressed - it is over 400 names long. The clarity is great, the mids are great, and the bass is outstanding(make sure you have them inserted correctly). I use these on airplanes, at the gym, to mow the yard and stay in my ears comfortably. Break them in for a good 20 - 30 hours and they will be really ready to go. Do not look any further. At roughly $150 these are outstanding. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: Best bass in the IEM market 2008-06-01
Comment: One word "Bass" beat any 15 inch in the back of import rice rocket.
Great clarity in the mid as well.
The tradeoff is the highs, Certain music that emphasize highs sounds muddy and staticly. A great second pair IEM not first. A great compliment to etymotic ER-4, westone UM2 and Shure se420.
If you find it $130 than its a bestbuy, not at $179.
