The cable is the Campfire Audio Smoky Glow Litz Cable. A Silver Plated Copper Conductors with Berylium Copper MMCX and 3.5mm Stereo Plug Featuring Glow-in-the-Dark overmolds.
Finally the elegant looking shells.
We know that Ken is a bit of an eccentric character and I feel his flair is shown in the whole Holocene design aesthetic. From the special glow in the dark elements – cable, shell logos and case label\teeth. An interesting unique added feature that I have not seen on earphones before. It reminds me of the 90s Rave glowsticks. While not an essential element of these headphones, it will attract some additional customers that want this extra unique feature.
The looks of the case is quite bold and gives off a ‘peace and love’ 60’s happy vibe to me. Made from Upcycled Marine Plastic in the form of SEAQUAL® YARN creating the rugged outer layer of the Campfire Audio Holocene zipper case.
