“So many new flagship products have been released in the last twelve months, others however have stayed at the top of their respective lines for a while now. I know the current competition all concentrates on the e-stat race, but I want to take a look at the other top offers from Empire Ears first, then dive into the competition. Hopefully this little segment here helps you, the reader, understand better what I hear. After all we do hear things a little different, and putting Wraith in relation to other IEMs might do the trick to get a better picture yourself.”

I’ve heard that there were prototypes floating around before the official release of the tia Fourté that had a warmer, more analogue sound. Could it be that Noir presents that tuning? Is it what the tia Fourté could’ve been if it wasn’t changed to a hyper detailed and brighter sound? Whatever the answer is to those questions, it’s awesome to have a choice now. Those who want the head-scratching clarity of the original are as much taken care of, as those that want a fuller and slightly warmer sounding Fourté.”

“You get a fuller sound with excellent resolution and imaging. The Plenue L has a slightly warmer than neutral signature, which plays very well with the balanced and almost reference class sounding VE 3.2 in my opinion.

The Cowon adds some of the missing blood and emotions to the sound. It does not fall short in terms of resolution at all, as the Plenue L definitely knows how to properly do D/A conversion.”

“Overall then, Campfire Audio have outdone themselves with the craftsmanship, solid aesthetics, and fantastic sound quality of the Solaris. The hybrid IEM produces a cohesive sound, which draws on the brand’s many years of audio experience. In addition, the flagship IEM offers an open sound with high levels of resolution and detail without ever sounding clinical. It is also nice to see the premium level of accessories included with the Solaris, which fits in with its flagship status. Unlike many other brands, Campfire Audio have always pushed the envelope, and constantly are redefining the standards in the world of portable audio. With an IEM to match, the $1499 Solaris represents a significant, but recommended investment for those wishing for top quality sound in a top quality form factor.”
