    Selling my Vision Ears Elysium universal IEMs. I’m the second owner, and treated them gently, using them for low double-digit hours. I used my own tips, so the originals are complete and clean. Everything is included. The original owner used three of the spare eartube screens, so I ordered a...

    Selling my Dunu Zen Pro, purchased new in February and used for a couple dozen hours. Package is complete, like new, with all original accessories, most of them unused—I never used the tips or carry case at all. If you're looking at this you're probably familiar with them—rich, slightly...

    Selling my gently used Campfire Solaris OG. I picked them up new from the Campfire booth at NY CanJam 2019, and I've put between 100 and 200 hours on them. I've never detached the cables, and the only tips I used were the large foamies, which I've replaced here with new ones. Everything else is...

    Campfire - Solaris

    Forgot to mention—either directly out of an iPhone X, or iPhone to Hugo2. Just edited my original post. Thanks!

    Campfire - Solaris

    Here’s a question that might seem odd—am I the only one who finds the treble on Solaris (OG) fatiguing? After several years loving the Campfire Lyra 2’s, I upgraded 7 months ago to Solaris. They’re amazing, I love them, except sometimes I have to take them out because the high end gets to be too...

    Audeze LCD-2 Closed

    Oh, yes, good call out—I’ve had this problem with many headphones, but the Audeze pads are so thick and plush they just kind of envelop my glasses and make a good seal.

    Audeze LCD-2 Closed

    Elegia. They’re smaller, lighter, the clamp is gentler, and the pads don’t make my ears feel as warm. If you move around, they stay in position better. I can kind of forget they’re on, which generally isn’t the case with the LCD-2CB. But to me it really isn’t a huge difference, the LCDs are very...

    Massdrop x Focal Elex Review & Measurements

    So far, knock wood, I’m counting myself among those with no issues. I know everyone's different, but I can't imagine being able to tolerate the volume levels some of you seem to listen at! On the Hugo 2, I'm generally in the green to aqua range on the volume marble, and the sound is amazing...

    Massdrop x Focal Elex Review & Measurements

    Got mine yesterday, very quick notes based on a couple of hours through Hugo 2 listening to Miles Davis, Oliver Nelson, XTC, and Ben Folds. - Very comfortable, they don’t feel heavy or make an achy spot on the top of my head. Ear pads are just right for me. They look great, too. - The word...

    Cascade Headphone by Campfire Audio

    Do any of you with the Cascade wear eyeglasses, and if so, how are the fit and sound? Do you have to take your glasses off for a good seal? I often find that to be an annoying issue, especially with closed cans.

    Cascade Headphone by Campfire Audio

    Apologies for the OT writing tutorial, but I’m a writer and I can’t help myself :beyersmile:. Whether it’s correct depends on how you interpret the phrase. If you consider “sound” the noun/subject, then “campfire audio” would be an adjective and “unmistakably” would be an adverb, and it would be...

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

    I’ve posted about this a couple times, so apologies for repeating, but I spent more than an hour with the very gracious Campfire guys at their booth at Canjam NY in February, going back and forth between Vega, Dorado, and Lyra II. I luckily could’ve afforded any of them, and chose the Lyra II...

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

    Hey, just chiming in as I've done a couple of times... if at all possible (and I know sometimes it's not), try to audition Vega, Dorado and Lyra II before you buy. I did, and while I fortunately could've afforded any of them, I liked the signature of the Lyra II the best, which happen to be the...

    Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV

    I've always been a big fan of Comply isolation tips for sound and comfort, and automatically ordered some when I got my Lyra 2's. But I was startled to find how much less rich, clear and contrasty they were vs the Campfire foamies. I'm at a loss to explain why, maybe the shape or the density...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    Interesting, I haven't tried it with the Mojo yet. But before this update, the Hugo2 cut out every couple of minutes; last night I listened for three hours without a hitch.

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    iPhone 6, which worked great with Mojo until iOS 10.3.1, when Apple made some sort of change that messed up the compatibility with a range of outboard audio devices, including my new Hugo2. But today's 10.3.3 update seems to have fixed it for me. More background here...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    Hey, there was an iOS update today, and I don't want to jinx anything... but it seems like the compatibility issue might be fixed. Just listened to a whole album on my iPhone 6 through Hugo2 without any glitches or disconnections. Good news, if it holds out.

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    OK, so now that I've had my replacement Hugo2 for the better part of a week, and the volume marble seems to be holding up, a few impressions. I'm listening almost entirely with Campfire Audio Lyra II's. As I mentioned in another post, I love these things. I spent a ton of time at NYC Canjam...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    Mine and Chianti's were two serial #'s apart, both from Audio46. I got my replacement from them Friday, and it's the next # up from my old one. So far, no issues. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Musickid had the same issue, but didn't get it from Audio46, and had a serial # far from mine. So...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    I had this exact situation as well, coincidentally also purchased from Audio46 (bought it in person about two weeks ago, I'm in NY). Initially, the volume marble had a firm, damped feel, but after using the unit a couple of hours, it became totally loose, no resistance, and didn't change the...
