It's always a treat to see what Oregon-based brand Campfire Audio has been up to. The premium brand is building a healthy reputation for its striking in-ear designs, with models such as the Fathom and Andromeda IEMs bringing together angular, eye-grabbing designs at prices that put them out of the reach of most. Its latest creations – the sleek and shiny Astrolith in-ear headphones –are no different, sporting luxurious looks and high-end tech that only an audiophile would be willing to pay such high sums to obtain.
The Astrolith are conceived as a "tip of the spear" project, pushing the boundaries of what's available in the IEM market with "the most refined and enhanced acoustic shaping experience available". Part of that ambition is realised via the IEMs' specially designed stainless steel shells which create not only a striking external look but also contribute to "an acoustic performance like no other".
