Product Description

Campfire Audio Holocene

Campfire Audio Holocene features a single custom balanced armature for highs and two independent custom balanced armatures covering mids and lows. These drivers are combined and optimized with Campfire Audio’s signature 3D printing acoustic chamber design. This harmony of driver and design elevates the musical experience of Holocene.

Aesthetic Design with 3-way Balanced Armature drivers

Featuring three Balanced Armature drivers, the Holocene has the entire frequency response covered. From the deepest bass notes to piercing treble, the Holocene seamlessly covers the full sweep of your favorite music. Every subtle nuance is revealed, letting you get to the very heart of the music.

The Campfire Audio Holocene is adorned with glow-in-the-dark elements. The Campfire Audio inlay logo, the new ‘Smoky Glow’ cable over molds, and the ‘Epoch’ case features. Charge them with light and enjoy the show when the lights go out, and the stars come into view.

Its shell is machined from aluminum and anodized in an ‘umber’ finish, set with black tri-lobe screws and a black PVD finished stainless steel spout. Holocene is completed with custom beryllium copper mmcx connectors, ensuring years of stable performance from your cable connection.

Upcycled Marine Plastic in the form of SEAQUAL® YARN makes up the rugged outer layer of the Campfire Audio Holocene zipper case. The glow performance of the luminous zipper and plaque is exceptional. The new smooth pulling plastic tooth zipper offers a superior experience.

Each case pattern design is unique, and each is one of a kind. The ‘Epoch’ color palette ranges from rainforest greens to aquatic blues. Mysterious geometric shapes float freely and collide in unexpected ways. These are fun cases that protect your earphones and give you something fun to enjoy.

Optimum Comfort with Campfire Audio Holocene

The Holocene presents a very decent soundstage. In terms of how well it stacks up to Campfire’s other models, the imaging is a bit wider than expected. Some sounds leak into a more outward headspace, adding just enough flavor to the soundstage to be immersive. Separation was also noticeably improved here compared to other Campfire models.

It may even be one of the best of the bunch in that regard. Layering is super articulate and lets sounds breathe in their respective spaces. Greater height is also added in order to lift the image from a more linear response.

Surprisingly, the Holocene is also able to keep its solidity without going into muddled territory. The spatial imaging makes certain tracks sound grand while maintaining their composure toward a middle position and sharing a more immersive sense of width.

Normally, Campfire likes to pack their IEMs with a ton of power. Most of their selection has an incomparably strong signal flow, and the Holocene is no different. However, it’s not exactly as chunky of an output as some of their past models, but it still has a consistently strong amplitude.

Even listening through a standard 3.5mm headphone jack on your smartphone or laptop, the Holocene will still feature high levels of volume, so watching your gain control still recommended.

Last Thoughts Campfire Audio Holocene

In conclusion, The Holocene is one of the best mid-tier IEMs Campfire has to offer. Its sound signature well balanced and rich in certain bands of frequency. The design is as solid as always, and its soundstage is wide and layered.

As for the glow-in-the-dark features, they’re more minimal, but at the end of the day, it is just a fun gimmick that doesn’t add or subtract anything from the listening experience.
