Campfire Audio has officially unveiled Iris, a new hybrid in-ear monitor (IEM) crafted to deliver the company’s signature sound at an accessible $349 price point. Launching in time for the holiday season, Iris combines high-performance engineering, a stylish transparent build, and everyday durability, making it an appealing option for new HiFi listeners and longtime Campfire fans alike.
Designed for Everyday Listening
Iris is built for consumers who want great sound without complexity. Whether someone is venturing into high-fidelity for the first time, looking for a rugged daily-use IEM, or searching for a premium gift that doesn’t require audiophile knowledge, Iris is designed to be instantly enjoyable.
Campfire Audio founder Ken Ball emphasized this approachable vision, stating that the team aimed to capture “the spirit of Campfire in its simplest, most approachable form.” He describes Iris as a joyful, easygoing IEM, one that feels familiar while still delivering the clarity, musicality, and character the brand is known for.
Hybrid Driver Design Built on Campfire’s Acoustic Foundation
At the heart of Iris is Campfire’s custom 10mm ADLC dynamic driver, tuned for warmth and weight. It’s paired with a dedicated balanced armature driver that enhances the upper frequencies with crisp, engaging detail. The result is a warm, easy-listening sound signature that blends clarity with musicality, a profile suited for commuting, work, travel, or relaxed late-night listening.
This combination creates an IEM that appeals to both beginners and enthusiasts seeking a laid-back tuning that remains rich, inviting, and versatile across genres.
Transparent Design, Lightweight Fit, and Daily Durability
Iris features a fully transparent 3D-printed shell, allowing listeners to view the precision-tuned internal components. Stainless-steel accents provide both visual structure and enhanced durability while complementing the sleek aesthetic.
Despite its ruggedness, Iris remains compact, lightweight, and comfortable, making it suitable for extended listening sessions. It’s designed to be an IEM you can take anywhere, whether commuting, traveling, studying, or relaxing at home.
