It's a tubed iem, very unique. Very hit or miss on music, love it or hate it.
Youtube Video Summary

Campfire Audio Trifecta is a triple-dynamic statement piece at $3,300 that courts controversy as much as it does attention. The unusual, almost triangular shell with a translucent gold hue and gold-tipped nozzle looks wild but can seat surprisingly well. Packaging is suitably premium, including three MMCX cables and a leather pouch—nothing to nitpick on build or accessories.

Sonically, this is a Jekyll-and-Hyde experience: get the right tracks and the bass slam and wraparound soundstage can be addictive; cue the wrong ones (especially orchestral/instrumental) and things turn odd, even boring. The FR tells the story—scooped mids, excessive bass/sub-bass, and hot energy around 5–8 kHz. It’s intentionally not neutral, more of a “tuned-by-ear for fun” approach that can transform pop and hip-hop into something vivid while leaving classical feeling off. Think genre-picky and unapologetically colored.

As a proposition, Trifecta reads as a specialist for collectors who already own multiple sets and want something full-blown crazy for select playlists—not an all-rounder or a value play at this price. Alternatives with broader appeal—like sets that keep the bass authority but restore presence and balance—come across as easier recommendations, while a touch of EQ (lifting mids/air) can help Trifecta click more often. When it hits, it can feel fantastical; when it doesn’t, it underscores exactly how divisive this IEM is.
