The Fathom appeals to those wanting an upgrade over the previous Andromeda variants and successfully fills the gap created by the more radically changed Emerald Sea as Campfire Audio’s premium all-rounder.
The Instinct is a creation of warmth, power and space that epitomizes the subjective nature of the hobby atop marvellous driver and acoustic design.
The MagicOne represents terrific value and appeals to those wanting excellent long-term listenability whilst upholding a natural timbre and excellent resolution.
The URD is a strong overall package that isn’t perfect but has an enticing blend of qualities suiting those wanting a coherent yet dynamic sound.,
The loss of separation and balance do mire an otherwise impressive and capable platform meaning the Emerald Sea appeals more to bass lovers also wanting superb resolving power rather than fans of the original models.
The OH700VB is a prime instance where we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, providing a super engaging, thumping sub-bass that has been meticulously tuned not to encroach upon the Harman-inspired midrange and treble.
The Avant offers sensational bass performance and a vibrant, engaging and toe-tapping sound that still upholds excellent balance with a functional tuning switch on top.
The OD200 is an interesting IEM that has notably more niche appeal than most, focusing on responsiveness, richness and outstanding long-term listenability.
The Aria 2 brings the experience closer to the brand’s pricier DD models at the same price whilst improving upon build and accessories.
The Blessing 3 offers performance that was once only available in the kilo-buck price range now but is now well within the reach of the average audiophile.
The P50 receives limited recommendation for those preferring a smooth and relaxed sound with standout bass texturing and treble crispness.
The ORA is a beautifully streamlined, versatile and powerful compact speaker that provides a refined experience at what remains an attainable price point.
While the Stellaris’ efficiency and sound ergonomics seem to appeal to broad consumers, its polarising tuning means it inevitably comes across as more of a proof of concept rather than a versatile daily driver.
The Z5 faces tough competition, even internally from Lypertek’s own line-up however, to balance sound quality and lifestyle features with such aplomb must be recognised.
The 109 Pro boasts market-leading comfort alongside a vibrant sound signature that doesn’t overstay its welcome but injects music with a joie de vivre that hooks upon first listen and continues to engage thereafter.
