balanced performance

Ponderosa uses Campfire's classic five-balanced-armature configuration which first gained popularity with our renowned Andromeda line. With two low, one mid, and two high-frequency armatures, Ponderosa features lightning fast detail replication, spacious soundstage, and incredible resolution. Hear every nuance of your favorite tracks or monitor your mixes and performances with accurate replication.

Interior

Two premium balanced armatures power Ponderosa's low-frequencies, creating bass response that is tight, emphatic, and well-balanced with the broader frequency spectrum.

Mid frequencies are lush, accurate, and slightly forward. Vocals are emotive and lifelike, perfectly situated in Ponderosa's staging.

Spacious, clear, and airy - Ponderosa creates sparkling detail and atmosphere.

Ponderosa's driver array is paired with carefully engineered acoustic geometries to shape the sonic response and further highlight the natural strengths of this technology.

Ponderosa features a vented design that balances air-pressure and volumes.

Exterior

Ponderosa uses an aggregated ear shape based on the wide range of inner-ear impressions received to make our custom fit IEMs. This shape is then smoothed and adjusted by our engineering team to create Ponderosa's semi-custom fit style that is highly secure and comfortable for hours of wearing.

Ponderosa's mirror-finish, stainless steel faceplate offers resilient protection for internal components and beautifully contrasts against its blue or black shell.

Campfire's custom MMCX connectors offer durable, long-lasting connection. Easily swap out your cable as needed, worry-free.

Ponderosa's stainless steel nozzle is resilient to impacts and repeated eartip changes. Increasing longevity in comparison to typical, plastic nozzle earphones.
