A new and really interesting headphone coming from Camerton Audio — German company run by Oleh Lizohub. Mr. Lizohub is from Ternopil, Ukraine, but relaunched the company in Berlin, Germany.

As you can see, it is an incredibly slim and attractive looking headphone. However, it seems to be featuring a on-ear design, and this is something that I am curious about, curious about how it feels and bare against common issues with on-ear ear-pads.

This is the driver being used. This is the description directly from Camerton Audio's website:

Binom-E – isodynamic driver – the perfect solution for creating the highest quality headphones. The sound in this driver creates an ultra-thin 6-micron diaphragm made of polyethylene terephthalate. Its weight is negligible compared to the diaphragm masses of classic drivers. On the diaphragm, through a special adhesive applied aluminum conductor, which occupies almost 99% of its area. The properties of the diaphragm material and the adhesive itself are optimally selected to provide the best acoustical output. Magnetic system of the driver is carefully calculated using the finite element analysis method, performed using super-power neodymium magnets. The optimal interaction of the diaphragm conductor with the magnetic field allows to maximally linearize the operation of latter, achieving unrivaled sound quality. In the driver’s design, metal parts are replaced with carbonic ones, which, in addition to the favorable effect on the driver’s sound, allowed reducing its mass by 25%. The low weight of the driver, combined with a large diaphragm area, makes possible to achieve incredibly detailed and spatial sound. The bass potential of this driver will surprise everyone.

Above are some specifications for the driver.

And here is the manufacturer's description of the headphones. There are some minor grammatical errors like saying "earbuds" instead of headband or headphone yoke.

What we know as of now is that the first batch has been sold out. 6Moons will be writing a review for these and has already published a preview about them. Mr. Lizohub already has in plan significant design changes for the second batch. It is also worthy of mentioning that Camerton Audio has lived up to its previous claims regarding specifications of their Binom-1 loudspeakers, so hopefully the buyers can share their experience under this thread.

Interesting design. How much are they selling for though?

From what I could find, the first batch is €5800, which is a pretty serious price tag. I really hope that the buyers can share their experience and the performance of these headphones.

Looks like it is starting to reach the market

Curious. The design is interesting and questionable.

The design seems to have changed a lot. Looks interesting but somewhat unremarkable. Wonder how it sounds.

For those unaware, Oleh Lizohub (founder of Camerton Audio) was born in what is now Ukraine. Camerton Audio also started in Ukraine. With this in mind, please be understanding if things are a little quiet from Camerton's side.

I'm certain that Mr. Oleh has friends and family in Ukraine, and it certainly is a difficult time.

In terms of design. Does it look like the first versions of Binom-ER? Nope. The most prominent changes are the switch from closed-back to open-back, the switch from a polished silver finish of the ear-cup frame to a black finish, and the switch from slim ear-pads to thick (very similar to iBasso SR2's ear-pads, which are amazing).

We are yet to hear the reasoning behind these changes, but I am certain that there is a reason and explanation behind all of these choices.

I'm wondering if he will do a comparison between the first version and the second version. Or did he have to send the first version to get it upgraded to the 2nd version?

From what I could read he didn't have the first version?

Tbh, I was looking forward to hearing people's impressions from the Munich High End, but I don't see anything so far. The Headphones Show just released their vid, but no mention of Camerton (if I'm not mistaken).
