Campfire Audio, the Oregon-based audio specialist known for high-performance in-ear monitors (IEMs), has released a new flagship model, the Astrolith, which looks likely to solidify its growing reputation for premium personal audio.
The Astrolith’s housings are crafted from stainless steel, hand-polished to a mirror finish, and incorporate Campfire’s new Additive Acoustic Optical Inclusion (AAOI) technology. This innovative design features optically inclusive internal chambers within a transparent exterior, creating a gem-like effect that is as visually captivating as it is functional.

At the heart of the Astrolith IEMs are custom dual 14.2mm planar magnetic drivers, engineered to handle sub-low, low, and midrange frequencies with exceptional clarity. These are complemented by a custom 6mm planar magnetic tweeter dedicated to high frequencies. This combo ensures that the Astrolith delivers a balanced, precise sound signature, capable of resolving even the faintest details in a track.
In-ear monitors have become popular among audiophiles for their ability to deliver exceptional sound quality in a compact, portable form. Unlike traditional headphones, IEMs fit snugly within the ear canal, offering superior noise isolation and a more intimate listening experience.
Users can hear every nuance of their favourite tracks, from the deepest bass to the most delicate highs.
They also connect to their music source, typically a high resolution Digital Audio Player (DAP) via a cable rather than rely on Bluetooth. For serious music enthusiasts, they’re a great way to enjoy music as the artist intended.
In keeping with Campfire Audio’s tradition of premium craftsmanship, the Astrolith IEMs come with a range of luxurious accessories. These include a handmade black leather folding wallet from Portugal, two TimeStream cables (3.5mm and 4.4mm), a Breezy Bag Micro two-pocket mesh pouch, and a selection of silicone and foam ear tips in various sizes.
The package also includes an IEM Cleaning Tool and a Campfire Audio Lapel Pin. You’ve got to admire the brand’s attention to detail!
The Campfire Audio Astrolith IEMs are available now, priced at £2,199 ($2,199 / €2,399). They’re available from Amazon here.
