Campfire Audio is a newer brand to us, but from what we’ve had our hands on, we feel they are among the best in the business. We’ve yet to try the company’s higher-end IEMs, the midrange offerings have been solid. The company recently announced it has redesigned its Andromeda and Solaris IEMs which retail for ($1,450/£1,449) and ($2670/£2,669) respectively.

An all-new chapter in the story of Andromeda from Campfire Audio; Andromeda ‘Emerald Sea’ has been completely redesigned inside and out, drawing from their past experience, the tides of the Emerald Sea bring both fond memories and warm waves of optimism for the future.
Campfire Audio Andromeda
- New Ergonomic Shell Design: All-new machined aluminum shell in the classic Andromeda Green. Updated with a smaller shape and smooth contours, it’s the most comfortable Andromeda yet. This new shape, coupled with their new stainless-steel fasteners and MMCX capture, creates a sleek, striking, and wearable earphone while staying true to the legacy of the Campfire flagship.
- New Acoustic Design: Five all-new, custom, dual-diaphragm balanced armatures bring the latest driver technology to Andromeda with lower distortion and greater stability and resilience. Coupled with re-engineered internal acoustic geometry, and newly designed 3D-printed driver housings, this iteration of Andromeda delivers an exceptional sonic experience.
- New Sound: Andromeda ‘Emerald Sea’ features an expanded acoustic range, lower sensitivity that puts the listener in control, and a sweet analog glow to its sonic signature.
- Frequency Response: 5Hz – 20kHz
- SPL: 94dB @1K = 11.84mVrms
- Impedance: 6.375 Ohm @1K
- THD: <0.5%
Campfire Audio Solaris
- New Ergonomic Shell Design: Solaris ‘Stellar Horizon’ combines elegance and durability with precision machined, brushed stainless steel housing, accented by brass fasteners and MMCX capture. A custom gold PVD inlay contrasts with black, laser-cut acrylic to round out Solaris’ stunning presentation and immaculate build quality.
- New Acoustic Design: Revolutionizing Solaris’ internal components are two new driver and driver treatment technology pieces. Three custom dual diaphragm balanced armatures create more output, high-end extension, and less distortion. This is coupled with their new Radial Venting surrounding the 10mm ADLC dynamic driver, creating a greater air volume and expanding the physical space in which the driver operates. This creates a greater soundstage and a more even dynamic driver performance.
- New Sound: Ascending to a new peak of sonic performance, this iteration of Solaris creates an undeniable energetic flow. Incredible versatility means that Solaris will melt through any genre in its way. Powerful, accurate bass drives rhythm to your core. Tracks erupt into a massive chasm of soundstage, with high-end extension, detail, and imaging unprecedented in the lineage of Solaris.
- Frequency Response: 5Hz – 20kHz
- SPL: 94dB @1K = 9.145mVrms
- Impedance: 4.40 Ohm @1K
- THD: <0.5%
