Introduction

Campfire Audio is a relatively new company in the IEM world, being an offspring of ALO (Audio Line Out) Audio, which itself was founded in 2009. The company prides itself on experimenting with different materials and techniques for the production of earphones, all of which are individually assembled by hand in Portland, OR (USA). The brand has been known for more premium offerings to date, so it was all the more surprising to hear of not one, but two new releases that are much more budget-friendly than the norm from the company. We take a look at the Honeydew today, and thanks to Campfire Audio for providing TechPowerUp a review sample!


The Honeydew is one of two new releases, with the other the Campfire Audio Satsuma reviewed separately. The two might as well be twins in that their conceptualization had a common base, a back to basics ideology focusing on such features as "customized acoustic chambers, full-range balanced armature drivers, and quality cabling over convenient add-ons such as voice command and wireless capabilities" in the company's own words. The two are tuned quite differently, so treating them more like fraternal twins would be apt. Let's find out more about the Campfire Audio Honeydew in this review which begins with a look at the specifications in the table below.
