Campfire Audio's 2023 IEMs: New Solaris & Andromeda, Supermoon, and Trifecta

Фильм және анимация

Last weekend, I went to a local meetup called HiFiCon where I was surprised to find that Campfire Audio happened to have a table. I got to demo the new IEMs in their lineup including the Solaris Stellar Horizon and Andromeda Emerald Sea.

    Love the content. Andro Emerald Sea: Seemed like Andro 2020 pushed further. Bassier, with even more exaggerated imaging. It's fun and impressive in a way, but sounds more artificial than I remember 2020 sounding and treble more digital. Solaris Stellar Horizon: Surprisingly balanced for a CFA, much lighter on bass vs. the Andro but still nice sense of tactility. A bit bright and forward, contrasty, but enjoyable. Something odd with the treble timbre. Supermoon: Crazy fit, had to peel it out of my ears even though so much of the IEM rests outside my concha. Sounded very "normal" for a CFA IEM, only thing that sounded significantly different form other planars e.g. Timeless is an extra bit of upper treble zing that seems out of place. Trifecta: 🤮 Boxy bassy mush. I struggle to think of a KZ I wouldn't prefer.

    Love the Andromeda 2020 my current all time favorite iem, but idk what they're thinking ruining Andromeda tuning, the iem that made campfire well known and charging more, the fact they have the nerve to charge over 3k for the trifecta is ridiculous. Andromeda 2020 and og andromedas are their geniuly amazing iems, ara too maybe, everything else....

    Ara Ara is my favorite campfire iem. I think it's their most technical to iem to date, yes it does have few tuning issues but overall it's pretty good. I paid under 1k for them.

    Been rocking andromeda 2020 since it's 2020 release, still amazing, unsure about the emerald sea tuning changes based on reviews seems they ruined andromeda house sound by making it too warm

    Supermoon is a decent CFA IEM so far

    Supermoon was one of my top 3 at CanJam Socal last year along with the Audeze MM-500 and EJ07 OG.

    andromeda is no longer one. Crazy price and sounds really bad - lost its edge as it's no longer as immersively holographic as its predecessor.

    I think the best Andromeda is the 2020 or 2019 OG.

    Trifecta: Those random gas station / mini mart cheap earphone is much better than this.
