Campfire Audio have released 5 really high performance IEMs so far in 2021 and I was exceptionally impressed with the Campfire Audio Holocene that I just reviewed. This is a brand worth paying attention to because they clearly understand how to build great sounding universal earphones. The fifth release for 2021 is the brand new Campfire Audio Saber and it would be appear that the Force is very strong with this one.
The limited edition IEMs are the first to feature dual dynamic drivers and durable Damascus steel styling.
The Campfire Audio Sabers are a special run of hybrid design IEMs featuring their rugged ABS body with a durable Damascus steel lid. The Saber are the first Campfire Audio earphone to feature their new Dual DD configuration of dynamic drivers, resulting in a lively sound profile with a rich low end, detailed midrange, and clear, expressive highs.
“Our approach when designing Saber was to give our customers a unique and beautiful pair of earphones that would also showcase the best qualities of our dynamic drivers,” said Caleb Rosenau, Vice President of Campfire Audio. “It’s a new take on hybrid design for Campfire Audio and an exciting listen for anyone who loves music.”
At the core of Saber are its matched set of D6 and D8 dynamic drivers, which combined with Campfire’s 3D printed acoustic chamber give it its singular sound profile. The D6 driver features a rigid Titanium/Polymer diaphragm for warm midrange, while the D8’s hybrid Beryllium/Polymer design keeps the bass tight and full of low end impact.
A balanced armature rounds out the trio to provide high-end clarity and detail. All three drivers are housed within a light, ergonomic matte black ABS body with a machined Damascus steel lid for a distinctive and durable earphone that will last a lifetime. The Saber also comes with Campfire’s pure copper cables and a matched canvas carrying case.
