"Original earphones" lol. Shady...
If it's too good to be true, it's almost certainly too good to be true. It's not worth the risk as it seems they are the only seller.

Indeed. Thanks though!

I see a campfire iem there, they are definitely fake. If it is on aliexpress at a much cheaper price than MSRP and isnt a chinese iem, it is extremely likely to be a fake.

Oh, I see. Maybe chinese campfire IEMs sounds like KZ. An overpriced KZ lol.

Haha, actually the KZ ZS6 looks suspiciously similar in the shells to the Campfire Andromeda.

I totally forgot about that lol. ZS6 is the reason why I discovered campfire.

Edit: Wait.. I think it was actually the ZS5 lol.

the mmcx connector is a screw on, so failure is highly unlikely. there is no swivel or give. I've had no isses with the connector, nor have i heard anyone who has the MT300 have this issue. The stock cable is mighty fine and so i'm not about locking and unlocking it, though if i want to play them via balanced, then i'll have to do that, but they sound great right out of my phone, and even more stellar using my amp with the phone (the Q1 mkII comes with a lightning connector to attach the amp to an iphone directly). Though I gave the A7 some run time yesterday, and they sounded amazing, the MT300 is still my favorite current iem.
The cable my MT300 came with was only 1 metre long so I had to replace it with some Tripowin I had somewhere. When I have some free cash to spend I'll see about contacting Forza guys and ask if they can put those terminators on one of their cables.

The light harmonic items were co developed with Campfire. Well it seems that light harmonic stole some design or something like this.
I wonder why a Chinese company would spend time and money to develop a fake but still costly iem to sell maybe 30 of each max.
I'm not saying they are legit but I won't be 100% sure they are fake neither.

That shop sells a lot of fake stuff, so buyer beware.

I am certain they somehow use genuine shells (probably left over parts from the original manufacturing source), but with generic drivers slapped in.

They even have “Campfire Audio” earphones, RHA, etc. I almost got sucked into a set of RHAs, until I dug around and saw that they were not the original drivers/tuning.

They even include all original accessories (such as earwax brushes, Comply eartips, etc). Just no original packaging, and not original drivers.

So if you want to have the LOOK of expensive earphones, without the nice SOUND, go for it lol

Finally I could finish the review of the Tin HiFi P2. They took a long time to arrive, several months... I thought they were lost, but luckily it wasn't. You could say that they came on foot... But at last, safe and sound.

And this is my opinion about them, I hope you like it. This is my first review of this year. Last year was very good in this respect. I just hope that this one will be the same, that's what I'm happy with.
I thank all of you who read me and appreciate my comments and reviews. And also, of course, I thank this community of audio fans and all those who make it up. Happy New Year! Even if it is late :wink:
