Product Description
The Campfire Lyra II IEMs are built tough to stand up to the demands of daily use—and trust us, you’ll want to use them every day. They feature one beryllium PVD dynamic driver per side (the first time this type of driver has been used in an earphone), and deliver a natural, dynamic sound with extended highs free from grain or harshness Read More

_zegnaIndeed, I'm looking forward to the FLC Celeste very much, anyway I'm about to go and audition the CA Andromedas soon, hopefully they should be a direct upgrade to the FLC8S and relatively "worth" the money, even tho it's rather overpriced IMO no matter how good the IEMs are. I can let you know once I hear them.

This is why we need a drop on Audeze iSINE 10. Cheaper ($349) and much better quality.

Its like comparing apples to oranges, but you can still compare them for what they are, fruit.

...but apples go well with pork and cheese...and oranges with duck, and Belgian beer....you know, if we're doing banal metaphors. You can't just say one is better. Well, you can say it, but it means f@ck all

Anyone have anything to compare these to? I have a pair of Westone W40's that I am now going to be selling (if anyone is interested), and would be interested in how they may relate...I am hoping for something very relaxed yet clear...

I really can't find many people or for that matter anybody who is not happy with their Vega

nelahMany people love their Vega on Head-Fi. I am no exception. But the fact of the matter is that it is $1300 and really expensive. Its counted as my end game so I'm not planning on moving from this for a good while. But its only because I love everything about it. So for you, its more like if you can find the one for you within the budget you have.
The Vega is excellent if you do get a chance to buy it. I think it's the closest thing to what you desire out of an IEM. Or at least, from my limited experience of IEMs anyways.

No they are made of Beryllium. Metals used rarely dictate the majority of the price of something to the end market (unless it's a particularly large amount). It's more to do with labor, craftsmanship, and innovation. In this case, they are a world first and use techniques that were developed in-house at Campfire.
For what it's worth, the owner of CA always intended to head back towards the simplicity of a perfect single dynamic driver. The rest of the industry might follow suit. Most multiple BA drivers won't sound as good as these in many respects: fullness, depth, warmth and soundstage included.

Please excuse my ignorance of Campfire Audio products; however, I'm at a loss as to why a single DD IEM is priced at this level. I own several higher end IEM's such as Vibro Aria's, 64A U4SE, EarSonics SM64, and AudioTechnica CKS1100. I understand that the examples I stated are mostly BA only, with the exception of my ATH's (which use dual push-pull DD's). All of the IEM's i mentioned are at a lower price point than these Lyra II.
I'm not being combative, I want to be educated on why CFA products are superior. All I see when I read this description of Lyra II is a single driver surrounded by really fancy materials that I interpret to convince audio enthusiasts that they must be top notch because the housing and driver assembly is made with an unpopular alloy.
My ATH's deliver incredible punch and and clear frequencies up to 40kHz (albeit with intervention from my DAC's equalizer to boost the highs). Am I to believe that Lyra II is able to give me a superior audio experience using a single driver at 3x the cost just because the materials used come from space?!?
I consent that number of drivers/BA's does not equal superior performance. Help a fellow lover of audio out!

amdee1979I have them from the last drop. I agree they are warm very warm. However the soundstage is huge. Best for pop rap rock not as good for jazz classical. Not that instrumentals don't sound good They do . its just that a more neutral iem is better for those genres . However I really like mine and would recommend them. At this price you can't beat it .

amdee1979Its the same story with etymotic er4xr/sr , single BA iem monitor. It is priced at $450. Yet, it is the most neutral and very accurate iem.
The clarity,sound quality and ,its single-driver architecture beat tons of multi-driver ba iem doubles its price easily. I have been looking forward to this drop as well. Very tempting

I have the Nuforce HEM8s. It sounds like Lyra would be the better option? The HEM8 is fairly bass heavy for what it is - tuning wise.

WILLxLOVEPersonally, I would get them over the HEM8. They have this sort of neutral-ish tuning and lifted bass with treble energy rising starting at 5 kHz and up. They're very smooth per their FR measurements and have a great form factor, build, and accessories. They just sound very pleasing and sound good with any genre. The only thing I disliked stock was the stock cable because of the memory wire. I got mine for $400 and would definitely recommend these at $350. I think they're a very good mid-tier dynamic driver IEM and intro to the Campfire sound.

What price do the Andromedas sell out crazy fast at?
Curious to know if people set up bots just to re sell the product which is a Slimey move IMO and people who actually care about audio can’t get them

Why are these better than balanced Armature models? I am not familiar with this Tech in an in ear monitor

I agree. I haven't met a single hybrid IEM that bests a pure dynamic or BA IEM. All hybrids have a bizarre midrange to me as well other odd spikes comparatively. I don't think manufacturer's have really nailed down the crossovers for hybrids, honestly. Hell, even more more manufacturer's are going to single-BA IEMs these days and foregoing crossovers completely since the tech in that regard has moved forward.
