    Campfire Audio - Introducing 2 new models Hello Andromeda and Nova

    ...than "factual" statements (only you know how your ear canal works, what insertion depth is best, etc.-the "experts" do not take into account how *you* hear the reviewed IEM, nor your personal preferences.) So I would highly recommend my discontinued Andromeda S to others, but be mindful that...

    Campfire Audio IO

    I understand the IO is not an "all rounder" for most standards. I just like all sorts of stuff-as a violinist, know what "natural" sounds like, and love my HD600s, but I have allowed myself to enjoy many "unnatural" frequency responses as well! Sorry for missing out the part you came to hate the...

    Campfire Audio IO

    ...bassy Campfire Audio IEMs (I have another bassy Campfire IEM, the Mammoth, with the nicer upper mids, but the Atlas is subjectively superior to *me*, especially because of the much nicer highs-*seems* to me the other options are "spiky" but without air, though I admit I haven't personally...

    Campfire Audio IO

    I find them fun to listen to, even if do not use them all the time-but that can be said as well of *many* "better tuned" headphones and earphones I have. I do use them more than some that I possess that are more "normal." It honestly doesn't matter how others hear stuff-worry about your own...

    A little about the Campfire Audio Jupiter

    ...better at what it does well. (The Ares II is a great cable too. Currently have them on the much hated-online, at any rate-Campfire Audio IO to *excellent* effect.) In my experience, the Jupiter seems to have an even more extended and noticeable higher treble region than the Andromeda S, but...

    Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread

    For some reason, some audiophiles believe that musicians have poor headphone/earphones taste. Others also seem to think they know the instruments we play better than ourselves. Fact is that we all like what we like, and that is fine. I know which headphones sound life-like (indeed the HD600 has...

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    Mr. Jason, I cannot find the Astell&Kern link regarding their battery replacement process. I may have read it before. Perhaps Google is supplying me with the wrong links, "enhanced" by poor AI implementation. I do think that at least what appears to be the official website leaves much to be...

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    How much is the out of warranty battery replacement? Unbeknownst to me-as I rarely took it out of its leather case-my OG SR25 was developing a battery bulge, and last time I did take the case off, it was fine. Only realized the issue when it shut off. Was able to turn it on after a while, and...

    NEW - Campfire Comet and Atlas

    Atlas: still sound amazing, and still no "driver flex"-whatever that means. I am no noob to IEMs, and still do not get that. AZLA Crystal and Spiral Dot++ are my choice for tips for these exciting IEMs (relatively shallow insertion depth-though always an individual choice, to be sure.) Highly...

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    It is impossible to find the results for my question due to too many false results, so if this has been asked, my apologies. Where are the APK files downloaded by the "Download" option to update apps? They cannot be read, if found on the Download folder of the Service folder. Indeed I cannot...

    NEW - Campfire Comet and Atlas

    Definitely nothing to dislike about them. They are not even super bassy to the point it overwhelms everything. It is "exciting" and "fun" without altering the original song/piece much. Just enhances it, if anything. Yes it is a "big" sound, but very tastefully done. And again, the treble is...

    NEW - Campfire Comet and Atlas

    These Atlas are such excellent IEMs. Discovered them last Saturday-purchased because the price was so good, new. The treble extension is truly special, combined with everything else. I do not seem to know what driver flex is after many, many years using headphones and earphones. Never seems to...

    Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

    ...Love the fit, around the ears without the guides and with deep insertion, super stable, super comfortable-larger tips and a narrower insertion *may* introduce some instability (not always-depends on the tip and the ear shape.) A different take on the ER4SR, a touch of "Final-ness" to the...

    Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

    ...and provide a sort of "edge earwax barrier". Sometimes some humidity happens, but that is easier to clean. All in all, that is what I would do, and *do recommend* a deeper insertion for an even more lovely sound (bass remains good, within what the model is supposed to do), a firmer fit, and...

    Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Finally received my new F7200, sounds as good or "better" than I remember. Boxes are significantly different with their included text in the back, front, identical. The "new" one's box is from 2017, with comply tips included (which I won't use). My older F7200 (the ones I lost) included a...

    Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Bought another F7200 pair, as my first one (bought on 2018 perhaps?) was lost to me last year, and though I have many IEMs and headphones, was missing its sound. I also have an ER4SR, and find that though similar in concept, they are definitely not the same, and the F7200 has something special...

    Qobuz Lossless Streaming Service Thread

    Offline releases stuck downloading on SR25 player. I have plenty of them downloaded and have been using Qobuz for a year and a half or so-it's not inexperience. Sometimes they will download. Often it just states "Import in progress" and nothing downloads at all. Not even a bit. Of course such...

    MOONDROP's first planar earphone - STELLARIS is up now!

    I changed my opinion from my post above. Please give these a chance with a rather deep insertion-that is why the nozzles are rather long, to accomodate this, similar but not as deep as an ER4SR. The peaks that people see in measurements but are not in the measurements Moondrop themselves...

    MOONDROP's first planar earphone - STELLARIS is up now!

    Because the Stellaris are not part of the positive online and social media group-think, let me just say these are tremendous, *especially* at that price. I am not a Moondrop fanboy by any means-it just is so very "full frequency-response" sounding. It does not have the "wow" effect of some IEM's...

    Sennheiser IE300 Review & Measurements

    ...US website. I think it sounds good enough at $299.95, but $199.95 (or less) is perfect. My IE300 had some left channel cutouts during the *first* day and initial week thereafter-which mixed with some reviews and opinions elsewhere-made me think they were faulty and that the Chinese factory...

    Sennheiser IE300 Review & Measurements

    ...to make easier fits more universal. But my point with reviewers is that they tend to copy each other, and are often afraid to be "contrarian" *when it is justified* (being contrarian for the sake of being a jerk is another issue, and there *are* some reviewers like that). Then the next...

    Sennheiser IE300 Review & Measurements

    ...stock CFA silicon tips (not Final E type-the regular), which if shoved in too deeply, a perfect seal will likely not be achieved. I love the sound *for the IE300* and wanted to ask to any of you or a Sennheiser representative how/where can I order more as backups. I did not find a link on...

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    Not from my experience. Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but I doubt it. The auto update to latest best *compatible* app versions is super useful for old SR25 users such as me. Kudos for that at least.

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    Mr. JasonNYC, The SR25 still does not turn itself off even after the new update. Did they not care to fix that? Do they even know? Am used to turn it off manually, but it can-and has-been the cause of undesirable, unintentional battery drain. If it does turn itself off for you, please explain...
