Campfire Audio Fathom Universal IEM

Campfire Audio doesn’t need a whole lot of introduction, so when these boutique big-hitters tout a pair of headphones as some of their best, we listen. (You should, too.) The Campfire Audio Fathom is an IEM that employs six of Campfire’s world-class balanced armature drivers working in tandem to an exceptionally fluid response from end to end. There’s particular focus spent on the mid-frequency warmth of the Fathom IEM to help bring depth and detail to the part of the spectrum where vocals and marquee instruments usually sit. This makes this set of earphones perfect for most common mixes and genres. The machined aluminum body is well-crafted to house the driver system—plus, the unique Rainbow PVD coupling for the connector port adds undeniable aesthetic appeal. It all amounts to a sound quality and IEM package that’s almost hard to fathom.

Attention to detail: it’s a quality that defines most audiophile listeners. At Campfire Audio, it defines the audiophile builders, too. Founded by Ken Ball—owner and founder of cable- and DAC-manufacturer Audio Line Out—Campfire Audio creates innovative earphones with patented technologies and world-class performance. Powered by a small team of highly skilled craftspeople, the brand continuously experiments with materials and techniques to push the boundaries of the listening experience. Based in Portland, Oregon, the Campfire Audio team designs and assembles everything by hand. Each earphone is the culmination of countless iterations, hours of listening, and rigorous performance testing. It’s an audiophile-approved standard of quality—with results that sound the part.
