𝘁𝗹;𝗱𝗿: Packaging and presentation are excellent. Attractive earphones, good soundstage, mid-range strong, good definition and detail.
𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
Quick disclaimer, I'm normally a headphone kind of guy. I've bounced around different TOTLs and settled on the Meze Empyrean, but these IEMs tickled my interest so I gave it a go. I'm also not the most articulate when it comes to things of the 'audiophile' nature, but I'll give it my best. Ran these on my Bifrost2 + Asgard.
😍 If you're going to spend some decent moolah on some earphones, they better wow you in 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 way. These do in quite a few ways. First is packaging and presentation. Like the earphones' appearance, the packaging is eye-candy. Lot of little extra bits to make you feel like there's a strong value proposition here. Tons of ear tips, some silicone some foam. A CA pin, bunch of little baggies, faux-shearling lined headphone bag/case.
🤩 The earphones themselves are also enticing. Yes, they're molded plastic, but they don't look cheap. It's got this almost mild translucency and vivid orange color, really reminds me of persimmon. I dig the look a lot. The plastic enclosure and shape also lend themselves to its comfort. They're lightweight and unobtrusive; I don't have any discomfort wearing them for a few hours on end.
😖 The smokey, silver cable is really soft and maybe feels a little delicate. I'm using them at my desk so it's a non-issue, but I wonder what longevity might be using these in a bustling kind of environment if you get what I mean.
😎 Let's get on to the most important aspect: sound. Campfire's description is pretty accurate. These are definitely mid-range focused. Bass presence is decent, there's some audible sub-bass but not pronounced. Higher frequency bass is punchy. It's not going to give you that 'rumble' if you will, but it's tight and enjoyable. Mids are pretty neutral and detailed, and highs follow suit but are tempered in comparison. Upper middle, lower high freqs were maybe a little sibilant for those with sensitivities but I had no issue with them. Soundstage is decent as well, but I haven't used comparable IEMs due to my usual preferences to give a really definite verdict for this aspect. To be fair as it was my first experience with pricier IEMs, I was actually surprised that in-ear can actually achieve this kind of separation. I'm sure there are more expensive buds that can do more, but I get the impression this is very performant for this price bracket.
𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀:
This is definitely not a product for the mass market who might prefer a strong V shape sound over all other aspects. It's a pretty neutral signature that has its strengths in mid reproduction, detail retrieval, and soundstage. I still think they're fun to listen to coming from someone who dailies probably one of the best sub-bass extending headphones on the market. I'd say they're worth the money, and it's earned Campfire Audio a spot on my watchlist.
