Where are the Campfire Clara $800? Cheapest I've seen used is $1550. These would be a fucking steal at $800. I'd love to compare them to my Andromeda 2020 and Solaris 2020, but I don't have the cash for a new set of Clara at the moment.

I’ve wanted to demo a 64 Audio Nio for a while. My context of reference is more headphone centric. I’m a headphone guy. I do own a Campfire Solaris as well which is sort of my only other experience above the >$1k mark for IEMs. The Solaris is objectively more balanced, wider staged, and more realistic to me than the SE846. Although, the Solaris’s tuning is more vanilla for me. I don’t find myself drawn to it despite the greater transparency. I think I gravitate to a warmer, sub-centric presentation. Different strokes for different folks I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm quite pleased with them. I started in iems in the wrong direction, the expensive ones. So far my history is shure se846, Noble k10, campfire Solaris, anole vx, empire ears legend x, and then Oriolus traillii. Then I wanted to get into headphones the same way, settled with the dunu sa6 mkii and fatfreq maestro mini for my iems. Found a good deal on tea pros, got em and it's what I listen to the most now. I do miss some lushness in the mids, but my music is better suited to v shape anyways, probably my ideal would be u shape (EDM, pop, hip hop) and I only got it because I heard it was good for gaming. It's so good at all of that, that I listen to it more than the Stax setup I bought. At retail price, I'd strongly consider it. At sale or good condition second hand, it's an instant buy for me
