Campfire Audio Solaris ‘Stellar Horizon’ IEM Earphones
The Campfire Audio Solaris Stellar Horizon IEM Earphones are a must-have for any audiophile looking to elevate their listening experience. This stunning update to the Campfire classic features innovative updates both inside and out, resulting in an expansive, crystalline sonic profile that presents every detail with astounding resolution, imaging, and layering.
One of the standout features of the Solaris Stellar Horizon is its new Radial Venting system, which elevates the dynamic driver for a more even and accurate performance. This is paired with updated, dual-diaphragm balanced armatures, further enhancing the expansive and detailed sound of these high-performance earphones.
Not only do these earphones deliver exceptional sound quality, but they also boast a durable and striking design. The brushed stainless steel shell with elegant brass detailing exudes sophistication and is sure to turn heads. The custom brass inlay in the laser-cut acrylic adds an extra touch of elegance.
In fact, the Campfire Audio Solaris Stellar Horizon has even been recognised for its outstanding performance, receiving a gold medal from the VGP Awards for earphones priced at $2000 and above. This recognition speaks to the unparalleled quality and craftsmanship of these earphones.

Phase Harmony Engineering
At Campfire Audio, our philosophy regarding driver treatment informs a considered approach that emphasises quality over quantity. In the arms-race to fit a higher and higher number of drivers into an earphone, we find that a results-driven technique to driver treatment produces superior results with less room for pitfalls and ever-expanding variables that can undermine product consistency.
One of the products of this approach is our Phase Harmony Engineering, that allows us to segment the frequency spectrum and assign these segments to specific drivers, and allows those drivers to apply their strengths to that area. But it doesn’t end there, using a combination of precision engineered driver housings and shell geometry, coupled with custom damping values we are able to physically shape the tuning and response of the drivers, and further, their interaction with one another. This driver-to-driver interaction is crucial to eliminating points of potential phase cancellation and creating the intangibles that don’t show on a frequency response curve; imaging, separation, resolution, and soundstage.
Radial Venting Technology
Campfire’s exciting new technology, Radial Venting, is a revolutionary new way to house and tune our dynamic drivers. Surrounding Stellar Horizon’s 10mm DD with a ring-like chamber allows for more even pressure release on all sides of the driver’s diaphragm. This helps to create a bass response that is refined, detailed, and accurate.
Dual Diaphragm Balanced Armatures
One of the newest developments in balanced armature technology, Campfire is proud to implement Knowles’ new dual-diaphragm armatures. This additional diaphragm allows the driver to produce greater sonic output, creating a richer signal. These drivers also feature the added benefits of lower sensitivity, and extremely low harmonic distortion.
Tuned Acoustic Expansion Chamber - T.A.E.C.
Campfire’s patented driver treatment technology, TAEC is a specially crafted, unique space in which a balanced armature is housed. This allows for the emphasis/de-emphasis of specific frequency bands, enabling the ultra-fine tuning of a driver.

Design and assembly stay in Portland
Campfire says every stage from design to shipping happens in its Portland workshop. Earphones are assembled by hand and checked before they leave. For you, that means a small-scale approach to build, with the same people responsible for each stage.
The earphone range covers several driver layouts
Campfire's lineup includes models such as the Chimera, Astrolith, Andromeda, Orion, Lyra and Jupiter, and several of them use multiple drivers in each earpiece. Check the product page for driver details, as the layout changes from model to model.
A portable DAC and amplifier sits alongside
The Relay is a portable DAC and amplifier for use between a phone or computer and a pair of earphones. Campfire describes its tuning approach as organic. That is the maker's own wording, so compare the specifications and listen to a few models if you can.
