It was supposed to be a family, client, and VIP only special, but it got "leaked", so now you can take advantage of the buy-one-get-one-free deal Future Sonics has going on their Atrio professional earphones.

The deal is only good until midnight tonite (Dec 2), and their disclaimer includes the line "subject to change without notice", so if you're looking to save some coin on a gift for the audiophile on your list (while scoring a pair for yourself), jump on it now.

These aren't those cheap replacement earbuds that come in a blister pack at Best Buy. The Atrios are made for, and worn by, a long list of pro musicians both in the studio and on stage. They're designed to deliver big, full, rich sound the way your own ears would hear naturally. You'll hear the full spectrum of sound, not just the short range of highs and lows in typical earphones. (You tech spec nuts can get all the specifics here.)

To get in on the deal, go to www.futuresonics.com/atrio, and at the last step of checkout add the coupon code "atrio24blk" for a black set, or "atrio24blu" for a blue set. (Those are the only colors included in the special.) If for some reason you'd rather deal with a human, you can call 877.374.EARS and give the code to the operator. Then get ready to hear "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" the way it was intended.
