The Altrio Series earphones definitely sound like something you might want to try and get your hands on if you’re serious about the sound you’re getting from your iPod or MP3 player. They’re based on True Timbre technology, used in Ear Monitors, the earphones that are used by music artists on stage during live performances.

I love the fact that you can get them in cobalt blue. Very nice.

“Unlike two-way, three-way or so-called “hybrid” armature-based earphones, there are no electronic or comb filtering artifacts, no phase issues, and no crossover dropouts in Atrio Series earphones. All the listener hears is perfectly balanced, natural and realistic sound with a sense of “feel.” … Atrio Series earphones are built to optimize the sound output of any concert stage, recording studio, multimedia or broadcast production, yet can also improve the enjoyment of portable music and DVD players, laptop PCs and gaming systems.”
