Just ordered the Blue Essentials Cascara from Bloom. Excited to get a solid and fun but also high quality DD IEM with an MMCX connector, perfect for my Shure TW2 wireless setup. I needed something not crazy expensive to take with me out and about in the city. This is perfect, excited to hear their new DD technology and my first Campfire product.

I'm excited to hear your impressions! I truly believe the Cascara is a steal at its price, especially the Essentials package!

Can someone please give the impressions about Bonneville vs sony ierz1r?

Build: The Bonneville is significantly lighter and more comfortable than the Z1R and has a spout that is able to fit a far broader selection of eartips. It also has better MMCX connectors that are not recessed and hold onto cables much more reliably. That said, its overall build is more flimsy. One of the "faceplates" on mine was very slightly loose right out of the box.

Sound: It is much more mid bass heavy than the Z1R, though bass texture is a bit lacking IMO. Treble clarity, while not horrible, is also worse, with less sparkle and extension, though this does save it from the occasional sibilance of the Z1R's tuning. Overall I'd say it is a more "fun" and less analytical tuning, and probably a better choice for most people, especially considering the Z1R's comfort issues.

Did you tip roll with them yet?

Bloom audio shipped today with UPS but with Saturday delivery so I'll get it tomorrow! The know I live in NJ so it's a one day trip with ups. Those guys just have the best customer service - from this and other experiences. I know it's a small mom and pop operation so I love supporting those guys.

Plus, you can’t complain about free chocolate bars with your earphone purchase.

Honestly though, I buy from Bloom whenever I get the chance. Top notch people all around.

All afternoon listening to Cascara in the sp3000 absolutly intoxicating sound absolutly adictive

Got the Cascara yesterday and used them quite a bit on a mass transit trip last night and this morning, and today for over an hour. I immediately hooked them up the Shure TW2 and this is a perfect TWS on the go system here with a pretty good ambient mode, a good EQ, custom controls, a sleek case that slides easily into sling bags,etc.... tactile buttons, the app is nice overall. Do wish they had AptXHD but AptX is my go to on the go. The Cascara sound pretty damn good for 499. Impressive organic sound with good detail but a lovely bass as well. Gonna tip roll, put them through their paces and do some A/B

Amen to this. I could walk from this hobby right now with just Bonneville and SR35 and not look back. (Though I would miss my Trifecta.)

Since the SR35 was on sale at Addicted to Audio and having read your opinions on the combination of this and the Bonneville I just couldn't resist it.

I see what you mean now it's a fabulous combination.

Yes the SR35 has faults its UI isn't the quickest as others have pointed out, but my word sound isn't one of them!

I saw that deal but couldn't swing it after the Bonneville price. glad you like it! I'll be on the lookout for a deal down the road.

Thanks, I was fortunate to have some spare cash at the time.

I hands down think Bonneville + SR35 is one of the best combo’s available for just over $2k. I have some pretty good gear and I go for this combo regularly. Congrats!
