NEW - Campfire Comet and Atlas
Apr 11, 2018 at 3:34 AM Post #316 of 3,483
Is there any way to buy the Comet in Europe? I live in Hungary, and the nearest dealer I could find is in Vienna, sadly. Also, CA doesn't ship to Hungary :frowning2:
Are you sure? I ordered to Czech Republic and Fedex shipping was lightning fast for me - 4 days. Maybe try to contact them.

Comet just arrived. They are so tiny compared to U18. :)

I tried those back in the day, but the noise floor was too high. And much too warm for my tastes.

Those are well known for being hard to drive, you must not have the right plug socket pairing as I hear some output more power than others, then the sound should be airy and flowing.

Interesting that this thread was created for both the Comet and Atlas and we have about 22 pages of Comet impressions and reviews but few, if any, on the Atlas! Maybe the Comet should have been introduced as the new Flagship!
I will be auditioning both at Axpona this weekend.

It is because the Comet already became available and many have try it, Atlas won’t be available until May, once people get their hands on the Atlas then you will not hear about Comet at all:ksc75smile:

I think the reality is that most of us cant afford to buy flagships often if ever and the market at the price point of the Comet is much more in range for impulse purchases for a lot of folks. My guess is lots of new customers who haven't tried Campfire/ALO products will test the waters by purchasing the Comet as well as a lot of established head-fi peeps seeing what the vented BA is all about. The nicest thing about the Comet to me so far is, it provides a very different sound signature than most at this price point. Nice to have a warm/dark/full sounding iem to go along with the analytical/bright/thinner sounds that are so typical at the $150-$300 mark.

I pretty much bought the CA Comet to tip my toes into the CA brand.

I realized that but I thought there might be some early Atlas impressions from those who were able to hear them pre-release or at CanJam.

I have owned all of the CA IEM's except for Polaris and Dorado. I fully expect to come home from Axpona with the Comet.
