Campfire Audio Announces Orbit True Wireless Earbuds

The audible advantages of high-quality in-earphones with the best available drivers, cables and connectors have generated a sizable enthusiast market that continues to thrive, even while consumer electronics moved rapidly towards wireless. Campfire Audio is a renown designer and brand in the in-ear space and has now decided to go true wireless with the Orbit, a truly different design that makes fun of mainstream references.

Donner, a music technology company, announced the US debut of Dobuds ONE, its first true wireless and active noise canceling earbuds featuring both dynamic driver and balanced armature driver. The Donner Dobuds ONE feature a combination of a super-sized 12mm liquid-crystal polymer dynamic driver and a balanced armature driver with onboard ANC, and are available in matte black, mint green, snow white and navy blue for $49.99 MSRP.

Campfire Audio, the Portland, Oregon-based audio brand that started by selling upgraded cables for in-ears, later evolved into sophisticated IEMs and has been very highly regarded in music enthusiast circles ever since, is now launching its first set of IEMs directly targeted at performers, music creators, engineers and home studio professionals. There's a big difference though. These are the most affordable Campfire IEMs, using new shell materials in order to reduce cost without compromising on the drivers.

When Sony introduced its new flagship Signature Series MDR-Z1R headphones, it received mixed reviews from precisely the user communities that it targeted, considering its hefty price tag that placed it in direct competition with Audeze, MRSpeakers, HiFiMan or Stax. Already announced in Asia and more recently at IFA in Europe, the new Sony MDR-Z7M2 premium headphones inherited core technology from the MDR-Z1R, uses new 70mm drivers, keeps the comfortable design, and retails at a much more affordable price.
