New ‘Satsuma’ and ‘Honeydew’ wired earphones feature unparalleled design and craftsmanship, while delivering a stunning soundstage and audio performance
Campfire Audio encourages music lovers to experience their music as it was meant to be heard: in full-bodied, no-compromise high fidelity audio. The company’s new wired IEMs — which feature unique, hand-crafted designs in two sonically tailored variations, Satsuma and Honeydew — offer listeners an audiophile-grade soundstage and spectacular clarity at an affordable price.
“Both the Satsuma and Honeydew feature design characteristics that are also present in our higher-priced audiophile earphone models,” explained Caleb Rosenau, Vice President of Campfire Audio. “With the launch of these two affordably priced earphone models, our intention was to help consumers become more focused on the emotional impact of their music, rather than on features that prioritize connectivity.”
Satsuma: a highly balanced and natural translation
The ‘orange fizz’ coloured Satsuma features an aesthetically similar presentation to Campfire Audio’s higher-end range of products, characterized by the company’s unique 3D printed acoustic chamber design. This chamber helps to optimize frequency response curves emanating from the unit’s full range balanced-armature driver. Sonically, Satsuma is characterized by highly focused mid-band frequencies, tightly controlled bass response, and slightly enhanced highs — without the harshness. Satsuma’s clear and balanced sound makes it well-suited for almost any musical genre, particularly rock, pop, classical, or jazz. Its lightweight design and comfortable fit make it equally suited for listening while on the go.
Honeydew: bountiful bass and high-octane performance
Meanwhile, the ‘mellow-yellow’ coloured Honeydew — which also features Campfire Audio’s patented 3D printed acoustic chamber — was designed with a bass-forward frequency response that R&B, Hip Hop, and EDM fans will appreciate. Built expressly for music lovers who crave a punchy and highly detailed bass response that is both fast and dynamic, Honeydew has the lower frequencies covered thanks to a custom-designed 10mm LCP diaphragm dynamic driver.
Satsuma and Honeydew’s rigorous build quality— minus the connectivity distractions — means they will continue to deliver stellar performance for hours, days, and years ahead. The weight and strength of its high-end ABS plastic mean that the units can withstand even the most demanding conditions. The absence of wireless features and voice commands means there are no batteries and fewer electronic components that can fail over time.
Both Satsuma and Honeydew — priced at £199 and £249 respectively — are available now
