SOLARIS Hybrid Hi-Fidelity In Ear Monitor 3 x Balanced Armature Drivers + 1 ADLC Dynamic Driver

Midsummer Opera Song 1-10”

Campfire Solaris: Firstly the total package includes the iems, the Super Litz Cable, a cute double mitten/pocket to protect the iems from damage, a brush/pick to clean the nozzles and a variety of good silicone and foam tips with varying bore sizes (narrow to wide) and finally a collectors pin with Campfire logo. The faux dark brown leather case is a good size and is padded with synthetic sheep wool for added protection.The iems are very large. The nozzles are longer than most. Nevertheless with either the foam or silicone tips they fit well in the ear though protrude outside the ear lobes.The Super Litz cable is 4 core silver plated copper with right angle 3.5mm jack. It has memory wire inserted in the outer sheath to fit over the ears. Personally fitting over the ears comfortably is a bit frustrating. My impression is this cable emphasises the bass at the cost of losing a little attack and resolution. I’d read that these iems require around a hundred hours of play to fully balance out. The travel case is a good size well padded to avoid damaging or chipping the gold plating however it is advised to put the iems in the cute mitten (double pouch pockets) for added protection.SOUNDAfter approximately 100 hours of play time I was very unhappy with the sound using the stock cable. The music was slightly bass heavy, poor resolution and separation of instruments and lacked any sparkle in the treble. The sound was overall a bit muddy. In desperation I changed the Litz cable for a 16 core Yinyoo balanced cable with 4.4mm jack. The transformation was astonishing and I had never before experienced quite such a change. Once the iems had fully opened up I settled on the very supple wide opened foam tips as preference. The following is my musical experience using the 16 core Yinyoo cable:LOWSPerfectly balanced, not overpowering and extends into the lower mids in a well balanced musical way. For tracks where there is a hefty punch in the lows these iems deliver. For example the long bass rift on Mike Oldfield’s ‘Tubular Bells’ is so well resolved and punchy. Trains ‘Mississippi’ sounds extraordinary. For bass lovers the stock cable deepened the bass but the overall sound was a little muddy.MIDSThe mids, are extremely well resolved and balanced. There is a very good transition from bass to mids making the items very musical. With the Yinyoo cable the instrument separation and detail is excellent. Male and female vocals are well balanced without any sibilance. Drums are very punchy. Truly top notch mids.HIGHSWith the Yinyoo cable the treble sparkled. The highs opened up and brought the music to life with an airy transparent well resolved clarity. With the Litz cable the highs were very disappointing and suppressed perhaps more than 100 hours are needed for this cable but i wasn’t seeing any improvement.Overall after finding the right cable these iems are very enjoyable, musical with excellent instrument separation, clarity, punch and sparkle without any fatigue. Soundstage is good both in width and depth. The Solaris iems are also exceptional for classical music. I listened to my favourite piece Wagner’s Liebestod with the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra and the instrumental detail and balance was the best I have heard.

There is no point to review product's specs, as there are many review out there produced by professionals.To sum up - marvellous well-balanced clear sound, with a punchy bass and very clear highs. The size and design are right up my street, as Stellia beats all my headphones in a garish department.The only problem I found is the first few nights I missed my usual drop off time as I was trying to listen everything I like/could remember and mornings were quite sleepy.

Fantastic sound and well made, but not discrete by any means (colour and size)

現時点で世界最高峰。「SOLARIS」-太陽-という名のイヤホン。音場が広い。凄まじく広い。イヤホンとは思えないほど広いです。そして解像度が高い。凄まじく高い。音の粒子が見えます。中高音はバランスドアーマーチュア、低音はダイナミックドライバーという、いわゆるハイブリッドイヤホンです。バランスドアーマーチュアは３基搭載(高音×２、中音×１)。中高音の音質としてこれ以上のものはないのでは。艶やかに伸びるボーカル。鮮やかに響く金管。弦楽器とはこうやって音を発するのだなあ、と分かるほどにはっきりと弦が振動しています。鉄琴の周囲で震える空気が見えます。１つ１つの音の煌めきがはっきりと見えるのです。ここまで解像度が高いと、全ての音が均質に洪水のように迫ってくるため、ともすると窮屈さすら感じるものです。しかし、そこは圧倒的に広い音場がそれらを悠々と包み込みます。音と音とがぶつかることは決してありません。これまで使用していた「JUPITER(CK)」も素晴らしい音場を持っていましたが、その３倍は広い。JUPITERが鼻のあたり鼻腔に響いていたとすれば、SOLARISは頭蓋骨の外にまで音場が広がります。高音は明らかに耳の外で鳴っています。それぐらい音場が広いのに、それらがバラバラにならずに本当に絶妙のバランスでまとめられている。ダイナミックドライバーの担当部分と、バランスドアーマーチュア担当部分との繋がりが素晴らしいです。もちろん低音はダイナミック型らしく豪快にズシリと響きます。つまり上から下まで全ての音がパーフェクト。「ANGOROMEDA(緑)」が煌めくような高音に特化した最上のモデルだとすれば、このSOLARISは全帯域を余すところなく完璧に鳴らしきるという、その万能性に長所があります。ANGOROMEDAとの使い分けは十分に可能です。私は、やや高音に振りすぎたきらいのあるANGOROMEDAに聴き疲れした際は、全帯域に渡って聞きやすいこちらを使うようにしています。以上長々と書きましたが、頭の外にまでコンサートホールが広がる素晴らしいイヤホンです。紛うことなき名機です。このイヤホンは「音が見えます」。

仮初にも高級機ならちゃんとこだわりを持って欲しいと思います。コピー品BAドライバー使用の報には大変残念な思いで一杯です。
