More news this week from Campfire Audio, who are launching their new Alien Brain IEMs, tuned with five drivers. There is a new proprietary update of their dual-magnet dynamic driver, which is being used as a low-frequency driver. This driver is complemented by two high-quality, mid-frequency dedicated balanced armatures and two further high-frequency balanced armatures for the treble.

The new driver combination is housed in a black PVD full CNC stainless steel shell, designed for modern aesthetics, durability and resonance control. PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) provides a durable, scratch-resistant, and colour-rich surface. Campfire says;
This combination of high-grade materials and ergonomics ensures a robust, premium feel and comfortable wear for long listening sessions. Campfire’s new iridescent dome lid is unique, lightweight and durable, rounding out Alien Brain’s playful and striking design.

Ken Ball, Founder and Lead Acoustic Engineer at Campfire Audio, explains:
Building on over a decade of earphone design and engineering, we expanded the legacy and boundaries of what is possible in a dynamic-BA hybrid, with the all-new, five-driver Alien Brain. The price performance of the new Alien Brain was one of our main goals here. Get your close encounters of the hi-fi kind with the all-new Campfire Audio Alien Brain!

The Campfire Audio Alien Brain earphones will be available later this month (Apr 2025) from a range of retailers, including Amazon, with a suggested retail price of £999/$999.
