amazon Campfire Solaris reviews
Campfire Audio is a well-known name in the world audio community and recently. Well-known for its unique design, crafted in the United States, Campfire is well received by domestic hi-end users.
OPENING BOX OF CAMPFIRE SOLARIS
The minimalist yet captivating packaging inspired me to open the box right away to explore the inside. But slowly, let’s see what Campfire gives us. Many people who do not pay attention to this part will probably blame Campfire for being miserly. Picking up the block of paper at the bottom of the box, we have tons of toys come with.
The first is a set of Type-E eartips from Final Audio, this eartips I have introduced in the article about Final E2000 and Final E3000 so I will not introduce more. In addition we have 1 set of sponge tips, 1 set of common silicon tips that come with a headset cleaner. In addition, the manual, its warranty and a Campfire Audio badge are also quite luxurious.
DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY ON CAMPFIRE SOLARIS
The housing pair is carefully wrapped in a special Campfire bag specifically for its new ear line. This bag will protect the housing always new hard, completely avoid scratching phenomenon by 2 housing rubbing together during storage. Not many headphone companies care for their brainchild like Campfire.
Each pair of Solaris housing is assembled by hand in Portland, Oregon, USA by experienced skill technicians. Every little detail has been specially paid attention to create a perfect product. The faceplate is bronze gold and the entire housing is sculpted with glossy black lines. The surface of the housing is uniquely treated, creating an impressive visual effect, it’s not just a glossy shine. It’s all made of metal.
Part conductor comes with equally impressive appearance. The rope is made with large diameter, thick and twisted firmly. It glistened like a real necklace.
Not only looks beautiful, SOLARIS is also beautiful in technology and in sound. Possessing a sound configuration includes:
High range: Pair of 2 customized Balanced Armature drivers with T.A.E.C technology
T.A.E.C technology stands for Tuned Acoustic Expansion Chamber, a proprietary technology of Campfire Audio. This technology helps optimize the performance of high-range drivers to eliminate sibilance and ear fatigue. With a new design that changes the volume of the workspace in front of the driver, this offers a significant advantage over the traditional “Tube + Dampener” design because it allows for direct sound transmission from the driver to your ears, as a result, the clarity stays the same and the sound is expanded.
Mid range: 1 customizable Balanced Armature Driver
Bass + midrange: 1 Driver Dynamic tunned special sound 10mm diameter
This special driver uses the technology of Amorphous Diamond Carbon Film (A.D.L.C.) like on the Campfire Atlas for bass reproduction.
In total, we will have 4 drivers for 1 housing, although the amount is not impressive, but the quality is the value, making the difference of SOLARIS, which we will learn in the next section.
The conductor on SOLARIS is also the best quality accompanying conductor of Campfire.
Called Super Litz, this is a strand made from four other small wires using Silver-plated Copper and treated with Litz oxidation-resistant surfaces like those on high-end Satin Audio wires. Each string consists of hundreds of other small fibers that are calculated in size to create SOLARIS most suitable equalizer. In addition, the onboard MMCX Connector uses the new beryllium / copper MMCX material as well as a 3.5mm jack for better transmission.
EXPERIENCE CAMPFIRE SOLARIS
The feeling of wearing
The experience of wearing SOLARIS on the ears was a bit troublesome because the housing was quite large. It took me a while to manage it and finally she fit it in my ears. Large but not too heavy, the feeling of wearing is relatively comfortable and pleasant. I use eartips Type-E size M of Final Audio to wear ear cups very well and softly. The ability of soundproofing is also good, not affected by outside noise for very quiet background.
Sound quality
I’m a listener of many genres but the music I listen to the most is Pop, Rockn’Roll, Deathcore and Hardrock. The overall sound of SOLARIS can be summarized through the following bullet points:
The sound is impressive and the depth is impressive, it feels like you’re listening to a hi-end system
The bass range controls very well, the fastest speed in the headphones using the current Dynamic driver.
The picture is accurate, the instruments are clearly layered
It’s the treble strip, the lower treble is tunned, both excited and easy to listen to, not tired, hi hats have never been so great.
Bass
For those who listen to Rock especially DeathCore, the bass range is probably the most difficult to meet. Try to listen to this song to see if the drums are separated and floating clearly.
SOLARIS’s bass has made me extremely excited, ever since the birth of Sony’s IER-M9, I’ve been in love with it speed and separation bass, but on SOLARIS, it has once again brought me to the top. Bass has enough volume, extremely fast response speed, hit down firmly and immediately when moving to the next drum no matter how crowded. A.D.L.C. membrane technology (Amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon) hybrid of diamonds and graphine has really unleashed its strength on SOLARIS. For songs with slower bass rhythms, requiring deep bass, the sub bass range represented by the 10mm driver is still good, without any problems. Maybe the bass-head will see a lack of volume but for me, I really like this bass on SOLARIS, there’s nothing to complain here.

Mids
SOLARIS has a balanced mid-range substance that is technically accurate, smooth, solid, and heavy. The mids range is, in my opinion, a thick, which is sufficient to emerge from the instrument but not to the point of overshadowing the others. Very delicate, very neutral, colorless sound with a slight warmth makes SOLARIS very musical.
The low mids range was pressed just enough for the listener to be satisfied with low-pitched male voices, but not so much that it became dark. On the other hand, the upper mids strip is made quite smooth, but does not blur the details, it makes the female voice become sweeter and more beautiful.
Another special thing is that it is impossible to find a sibilance note on SOLARIS. Although I’ve heard a lot of genres, I have to say that T.E.A.C technology has done too well.
Highs
The highs are very excited without being dazzled, crunchy and smooth. It gives the track more detail and brilliance. Very good control, especially in the lower-mid makes listeners do not feel tired when listening for a long time.
Soundstage
SOLARIS soundstage is the soundstage of a full-size open-back ear, no one can imagine the soundstage of a small in-ear is so wide. Only after listening can I believe it’s true. The cheering of the audience in an unbelievably large space, closing your eyes is that you are standing in a stadium with thousands of cheers below. SOLARIS, although using Hybird technology, uses two different types of drivers but the sound quality is extremely seamless, without feeling of a break in the frequency converter part, Campfire has done very well.
Accurate image, the ability to separate the instrument layer. The feeling after hearing the Tia Fourte of 64Audio inside me somewhat returned. The voices of singers, musical instruments and stages are placed in precise positions in the invisible space. The stage in addition to width also has depth. Too good for SOLARIS for half the price of 64Audio Beam Fourte.
CONCLUDE:
With the advent of SOLARIS, Campfire Audio has once again affirmed its position on the global audio playing field. Finely crafted and fully assembled in USA. SOLARIS is not only a beautiful headset and looks, but also beautiful in terms of sound quality as well as the technology that it owns. Do not rush to look at the price of it but criticize expensive, I assert that SOLARIS is not expensive but fully deserved, even having a good P / P in the IEM hi-end series on the market.
