Unveiling of Campfire Audio's Groundbreaking Hybrid Earphones, the Grand Luna Model
The audio world is abuzz with excitement as Campfire Audio introduces its latest creation, the Grand Luna IEMs. These high-end in-ear monitors showcase a hybrid driver configuration, combining a custom 14mm planar magnetic driver for low and mid frequencies with two premium balanced armature drivers for high frequencies.
Key Features and Specifications
The Grand Luna IEMs boast an impedance of 13Ω, making them compatible with most portable devices and headphone amplifiers. With a frequency response ranging from 5Hz to 30kHz, these earphones offer exceptional dynamic range, detail, and resolution while maintaining smooth, easy listening with minimal harshness or sibilance.
The sound pressure level (SPL) is 94dB @ 1kHz with 33mVrms, and the total harmonic distortion (THD) is less than 0.5%. A built-in USB-C DAC, powered by the Cirrus Logic Master HiFi CS43131 chip, supports 32-bit/384 kHz audio and DSD256 playback, enabling direct high-resolution digital connection to devices via USB-C.
The Grand Luna IEMs feature a modular cable system with three interchangeable terminations: 3.5mm single-ended, 4.4mm balanced, and a USB-C DAC module. This versatility allows users to connect these earphones with a high-end portable player, balanced amplifier, or plug them directly into a smartphone or computer.
Design and Aesthetics
Each Grand Luna IEM is aesthetically distinctive, with a vibrant, internally dyed red, externally transparent, 3D-printed shell. The AAOI (Additive Acoustic Optical Inclusion) housing contributes to the earphones' unique sound, delivering a smooth, richly detailed, and deeply immersive listening experience.
The earphones sport a brushed stainless-steel faceted lid featuring a colorful, hand flame-treated Campfire Audio logo. This organic and eye-catching design sets the Grand Luna IEMs apart from other in-ear monitors in the market.
Availability and Pricing
The Grand Luna IEMs will be available from early August 2025. The price, approximately $1,399, reflects the earphones' high-end quality and innovative technology.

This combination of advanced planar magnetic technology with balanced armatures marks a first for Campfire Audio’s product line, representing the cutting edge in their IEM offerings with an emphasis on dynamic range, acoustic precision, and user convenience with the integrated USB-C DAC.
