Sound Quality is as Promised!

About the sound quality I think a lot of fellow owners already explained how good this IEM is. It is really good. But I'd still complain about 2 things:

IMHO the zipper case is not just ugly looking, but does not work too well. It is not easy to open, they should have chosen a better zipper. So, I purchased a cheap replacement, put the logos on, and that I like much better.
I just did not like the wire, I wanted something softer. Fortunately I found a replacement, and now it is very satisfying.

Other than this, it is a very high quality IEM, highly recommended.

The Dorado's are the perfect balance of fun and resolution.

These IEMs are very resolving and fun. Sound quality is a constant battle between resolution and maintaining the soul of music. Many sacrifice one for the other which leaves much to be desired for me. That is not the case here. On the Questyle M15 the Campfire Dorado IEMs are a pure delight. My one issue is the difficulty the chassis has with sitting on the ear. These IEMs are on the small side in terms of size and may not seal well if you have larger-than-average ears. Do keep note of this.

So I've had the Dorado for a couple of months now, and they sound fantastic. They did have a burn-in period, and once they were settled in they are great. I've noticed some are worried about the build quality,well mine seemed to be built like a tank. Same with my Atlas. The only issues I've had with any of their products are the Orbits, and that was my fault. It had nothing to do with quality. The customer service at Campfire Audio is also great. So when you see anything offered by them here at Drop, don't hesitate. The product you're getting is the real deal, with really good discounts, and CA backs them up with the original warranty.

Complaints???

I own a few iems, all over $1200. Love them each. These are wonderful and honestly, I cannot understand how anyone can find these lacking. They is nothing in the sound that I want more of, less of or changed. Very easy to sit back and enjoy very well recorded song. Why would anyone focus on anything but the wonderful audio…fun.

Sounds great! Cable is very Fragile

I'd been wanting to get a pair of Campfire headphones for years, and i finally took the plunge, i was excited to give these a try and on my first listen the cable snapped on the right headphone. I ended up purchasing a 2.5mm balanced replacement cable from Hart Audio. It was a great upgrade. I very much enjoy the sound of these headphones, and would give them five stars if the cable hadn't snapped on the first day.

Great but not worth the price imo

Like the bass but to be honest there are other options out there that dont cost as much and get you mostly there. Would recommend the KZ D6QS x HBB for some crazy bass.

The right IEM for me

These do need time to burn in, but once they are they sound so good. Great detail in acoustic recordings or just fun listening to your favorite pop or rock music. Bass has nice weight, mids and highs are sweet sounding. Very good depth in the sound stage. Pairs well with my Astell & Kern SR25.

Detailed & fun

The shape is very scooped & just fun to listen to. It did take me a hot second to adjust coming from oh10's, ngl. No problems with treble extension, the bass feels weighty - in a good way. I like the soundstage, instrument separation is great, details are very good. Would recommend, especially at this price. It had plenty of case candy, extra final tips, etc. Very nice packaging and unboxing experience, it felt special. I didn't like the stock cable or the case.

Well allow me to push you if you're on the fence: do it! :D I don't regret spending the money - I've enjoyed every minute of it. Although in all honesty TL;DR: passive dampening isn't great. I cant recommend these for noise isolation, unless you give it a little juice (within reason obviously). Ask my co-workers, they're practically dead to me when I wear these around the office. With the OH10's I could still hear muffled voices in passing. The nerve, trying to talk to me. :D As for the comparison: I used a bass-heavy track to A/B these after reading your question. BlackPink's DDU-DU DDU-DU remix, say what you want, that bass is ungodly, & the production is spotless. I still enjoy the bass on the OH10's, its softer, and less defined than the dorado, more 'round' - it's hard to put into words. After using the dorado's for a week now, the OH10's feel dull in comparison, more removed - external. Less detail, less bass extension on those really low notes. It would be incorrect to say the dorado's are similar in signature, but I feel comfortable saying they're in the same spirit. Very crispy highs with pronounced, powerful bass. The fact that these had a similar configuration, 1 DD + 1BA, to the OH10's was what drew me to them. So yeah, more of the same, only better. These weigh half as much I swear. I'm still searching for my favorite fit on ear tips, and I do kind of have a hard time getting a good seal. I feel like that was easier on the OH10's. The nozzle on the dorado's in angled and interesting. I'm used to twisting once inserted, but the dorados work better when I just put them in straight on. Twisting doesn't seem to have an effect. I don't commute by train anymore, so I cant really convey any sort of meaningful baseline in that respect. I work on a really busy street and have walked home with the OH10's plenty of times, I totally get what you're saying about the bleed. Unfortunately a regular test lands the dorado's really close to the OH10's for passive dampening. Maybe I'm not getting a great seal, or these spinfit tips are too thin. But as I mentioned above, they're a bit better, and that's enough for me. A nice pair of TWS + ANC might be what you need for the commute.

assertIsNotNoneThank you so much for the your humor and comparative to the OH10's. I've done quite a bit of searching and really hadn't found any comparatives of the two IEM's so totally appreciate hearing your experience. Just finished listening to DDU-DU DDU-DU and would have to agree that baseline is great but I do hear some roll-off in the low-end on the OH10's. Just thought I would compare the 7HZ Timeless to the OH10's for this track for fun:

7hz Timeless (SpinFit C100): Very Open, wide soundstage though depth is a bit lacking. Slightly syllabant, and the low end feels compressed w/o much detail though the upper end is very detailed. Vocals are very forward and imaging feels good.

Moving to the OH10's (SpinFit W1).. the soundstage is not as wide but considerable more depth and imaging. Way more detail in the low end and no syllabience. The vocal imaiging feels recessed and not centered.

Anyway, I regress... I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet on these.. as I have been intrigued by campire audio for awhile and these seem to good at this price point not to purchase. As far as TWC + ANC.. I've tried various options over the years but have never much cared for any of them.. either over ear or IEM.. I feel to sensitive to the noise cancellation.. akin to the difference of looking at a scene with nice warm tungsten lighting compared to overhead fluorescents. If the Dorado's don't work out for travel, I'll stick to my tested Etymotic's (they have severed me well for travel for almost a decade now) and I'll just have another fun pair of headphones in the collection! Thanks Again!
