Atrio® pro-earphones rank 1st against Etymotic, Shure, Denon, & Ultimate Ears

Bristol, PA – January 29, 2009 – Future Sonics is thrilled to be named winner of Sound & Vision magazine’s in-ear headphone face-off. Sound & Vision, widely recognized as the industry leader in high-end technology and objective in-depth reviews, ranked the Future Sonics Atrio® professional earphones number one against models from Etymotic, Shure, Ultimate Ears and other major brand.

The earphones were required to be in the $150 – $200 price range and were individually ranked by each reviewer based on fit, bass performance, noise isolation characteristics, and overall sound quality. The models tested are listed below:

• Future Sonics Atrio
• Shure SE210
• Sennheiser CX500 G4ME
• Denon AH-C751
• Ultimate Ears Super.Fi5
• Etymotic hf5

The competition was administered by John Sciacca, one of the industry’s best-known and trusted experts, along with the help of technical contributors Brent Butterworth, Leslie Shapiro and Mike Gaughn.

According to John Sciacca, “Bass has depth and tightness without being overbearing, and sounded like a high quality 2-channel system with a well-integrated sub.”

“This competition featured the top earphone manufacturers and the result is a true testament to our commitment of making sound quality our first priority,” said Future Sonics President and Founder, Marty Garcia. “Like our Ear Monitors®, Atrio® professional earphones were developed with professional audio engineering experience and tailored to the demands of top musical performers, but with a design now embraced by consumers who require the highest quality with incredible value,” added Garcia.
