Gen 1 Campfire Audio Polaris for sale. There is wear on the body and one of the nozzles is chipped, I have not noticed it affecting the sound.

Monolith M1060’s with velour pads. Really love the big sound, just need to size down the collection.

How would you say they differ in terms of sound? I imagine them being a more V-shaped headphone with a little more air.

From the look of the enclosure, it's probably at least semi-open back. Going to put my money on open.

That would be interesting but I feel like that might undermine it as a separate gaming headphone. Hopefully they do release it separately.

Honestly really excited to see how this will turn out as their other gear is already pretty damn good for gaming. My only concern is the long term comfort as that has been a big issue in the past.

The Orion :P. The Orion has the best vocals of any one I’ve heard in that bracket, hands down. You can snag a used pair on ALO right now for $200

$300 is pretty damn solid for the Polaris. Never been able to find them that cheap. But then again, it’s been a while since I’ve looked.

I just got the Massdrop Plus in the mail and I'm very happy with them, they hold up better than I remember. I know it's an odd comparison but I'd love to hear the contrast between the two since they are in the same price bracket. But a bigger question is how they compare to the Orion. The Orion...

I honestly wonder why the IO is cheaper than the Orion since it's a dual BA configuration with a better case.

Oh I know, I've owned them before and felt they were one of the few things in audio (that I have tried) worth their full asking price. I know I'll like them, but Campfire is such an exciting brand. Their in ears are gorgeous and they seem to be trying things other brands don't. I've owned their...

Agreed, it was what drew me to their brand originally.

Just ordered the Massdrop Plus, now I’m having regrets before I even get them. Thanks Ken. *sweats in poor spending habits*

Thanks for the info man!. I love the sound but the comfort is just awful. Going to pick up the Ori protein pads based off your recommendation (I can only really buy the protein variants), just hope the protein sound is as good or close to the lambskin.

Before acquiring the Vibro’s my previous favorite headphone was the DT990’s. I've owned a few higher end headphones such as the Denon D5000, Sony MDRZ7 and HE 400’s but the DT990’s always came out as the king for me. They were supremely comfortable, well built and had what I had always pictured...

the Sony's to my ears sound a bit rolled of in the treble and have a strong mid bass presence with some noticeable sub bass. The mids sound forward and the angled drivers present the sound in a very speaker like way. Great imaging and good soundstage imo. I would not call them neutral but they...

Its to give it a more "speaker like presentation". I am a new owner and I am starting to understand what that means. I listened to Tetra Sync by Squarepusher and was absolutely blown away at how different it sounds on these versus anything I have tried.

AKG240 60 something ohm

Thanks I'll check them out, if you have anymore reccomendations Im happy to hear them.

My budget is $200, they must be closed back, I must be able to use them on a portable device, and Im looking for clarity. The genres I typically listen to are jazz, classical, IDM, future jazz, and techno. Im going from Sehnhiser cx 150s, to a $200 dollar pair of over ear headphones and I need...

The title sais it all, The genres of music I typically listen to are techno, IDM, ambient, synth pop, classical and jazz, and I just want the the clearest sound possible for my price range.
