The team at earphonia.com were fortunate enough to be given the chance to review the Holocene in ear monitor earphone from  from Campfire Audio, the Holocene edition.

Thanks goes to the team at ALO Audio/Campfire Audio for giving us the chance to experience this excellent cool looking earphone.

As our fans know, we have great respect for the guys at Campfire Audio and their Andromeda, Solaris and Vega earphones really are something special.

Looking at the technical specifications for the Holocene earphone you can anticipate this is going to be something interesting and a complimentary edition to the already vast array of Models.
