Great technicality, neutral tonality
Very comfortable and has a neutral sound. The instruments and female voices sound really clear and smooth.

Kinda disappointment
I was kinda disappointed with these IEM. They sound… well, far from their price. I would say more, they sound really cheap. This is not a baby Andromeda, this is very simple IEM. Sound is narrow, sometimes even harsh. If one will listen to separate tones and describe highs, mids and lows separately - it looks not bad on paper. But real sound, music sound is awful. Messy and dirty. Plus, it is impossible to listen them on low volume - bass will completely disappear.
This kind of sound expected from 60 dollars chi-fi not from Campfire Audio. Too bad.

Great Neutral Sounding IEM's
They're great sounding IEM's. I used to own the 2019 Andromeda and these share some similarities. They're like a mini Andromeda, but only like 70% of the way. At this price, super happy with my purchase. At $649 MSRP, it's a tough sell.

Great for $$
Drop had these for $299 during Amazon prime day so I jump on the deal. They are snappy, fast, and balanced.

I tried to like it
After purchasing the Dorado from CA, I was ready for my next CA purchase. I then saw the Holocene- it seemed to fill a hole where I needed an IEM for just Classical and Jazz. When I got them I tried them on, just as I did with the Dorado’s. It was horrible and immediate regret set in. I also noticed a static sound that was coming from the connector to the right monitor. I then disconnected and reattached it hoping that would cure that. I then decided to burn them in- maybe they need that. So for 8 days I let them play, (I actually forgot about them) and I proceeded to play my music. Not great still but way better. The upper midrange has a fatigue inducing bump but they sounded good with electronic, pop, and rock music sans the bass. I hope Drop will take them back- they’re definitely not worth $400. I’d rather buy the Vega’s for $300.
*Update- Liz from Drop customer service wrote me an email saying that Drop will not take back the headphones so now I’m stuck with $400 headphones. And this is the end of my Drop relationship- let me know if you would like to buy these.

The build quality is first-rate. I was interested in this particular design. The shape is comfortable. They’re the first IEMs with a fit that doesn’t remind me that I have things in my ears. Between the comfort and neutral sound, the product remains transparent. It seems counterintuitive to design a product that people forget they’re using, but this is what I like about the Holocene IEMs. They stay out of the way.
