thamks is there any wobble with ure pair?

Nope, I have 3 campfire iems and all of them are tight and clicky without intermittency.

Is anyone here Polaris pair with Alo Reference 8 2.5mm balance cable? I would like to hear your opinion.

Your lucky I am on oriolus now, Campfire want a silly amount of cash to fix them.

Was going to buy Orions, then I found a pair of Polaris used less than 25hrs for only a bit more than the price of the Orion. Reading this thread makes me even more excited to actually receive them.

Willing to part with my Polaris, let me know you have any interest!

I'm having issues using other MMCX cables with my Polaris. Both cables from the Pinnacle P1 are not delivering the full signal to the Polaris. The cable from the Pinnacle P2 works fine. Any clue why this would be the case? And can anyone suggest a reasonably priced (less than $50) replacement cable without memory wire or plastic tubing around the wire at the MMCX end?

During my time with the Polaris I used these and it worked fine:

Foams are incredibily good on these is what I recommend, no clicky here.

Probably an impedance mismatch on the P1 cable specifically.

Just published my review of the new Campfire Audio Polaris. I don't think they're the most technically profound earphone around their asking price...

Hi, @ryanjsoo ! Could you tell which iem costing about 600$ are more technically profound then Polaris on your opinion. I've listened them on several occasions and found them quit pleasing but I would really appreciate some extra technicality from my next iem. Sadly I'm limited exactly by the current Polaris price, so Andromeda and even Jupiter are off the table. Thanks)

You can definitely look into a B-stock Jupiter, they usually go for around $550-650. The Jupiter will provide notably higher resolution than the Polaris, but its bass is not as engaging. You can also consider the Dunu DK-3001, its ergonomics vary from person to person but its sound is very well detailed and more linear than the Polaris. I would usually recommend 64Audio's IEMs, but they've since discontinued their universal lineup. They've recently announced a new line-up but we've yet to see any reviews for those models.

I actually prefered the sound of the Polaris over the Jupiter due to the bass.

After listening them both back to back yeasterday I'm leaning to Polaris over DK-3001. DK-3001 sound great and are indeed linear then Polaris but the actual amount of details retrieved seems to be the same. At least when using them both with 3,5 out of mine Opus #3. Also it seems that using 3001 will end with pain after an hour session. Another option is buying Periodic Be which are really impressive iem with non-detachable cable being the only real flaw. And I'vealready found a service that can help me fix this issue
Back to Polaris though. After so many people saying male vocals is the weak spot of Polaris I've spent some extra time yesterday listening to my opera discs and some favourite male singers. And there was actually nothing wrong with them with the exception of Nick Cave sounding thin and a bit dull. Which is a shame but not a tragedy. Bowie sounded as Bowie, Whetton sounded as Whetton. Oh and Mercury was also being himself. All that of course is true only for my ears and with my source. But I actually believe that with good product it comes down to what actuall pairings can provide and not to the sound of an earphone or a dap in a vacuum.

Glad you're enjoying the Polaris, it's in no regard, a bad earphone nor is it necessarily worse than a lot of similarly priced earphones. It carves out a comfortable niche as an engaging, "fun" earphone in a price range where most are pursuing a more balanced sound. So I'm always an advocate of preference, finding the best sound sig for your own personal tastes and it looks like the Polaris fits the bill!
