From Concept to Reality
Trifecta began with a spark; three dynamic drivers arranged in a triangular housing, hastily sketched on the back of a napkin. Campfire’s lead acoustic engineer, Ken Ball, brought this ember of sonic inspiration to the engineering team with one mandate; let’s make this happen. Trifecta was in its embryonic stages, and the challenge of creating an analog tower speaker in a portable in-ear was officially underway.Â
This would set the stage for months of design, adjustments, re-design, and fine-tuning. The moment and philosophy of Trifecta quickly became clear; it was time for something different, something new.Â
Overcoming the challenges of phase cancellation, air pressure maintenance, geometric constraints, and creating a sonic profile that was powerful, detailed, bombastic, and unique made Trifecta one of the most demanding, inspiring, and exciting product development cycles in the history of Campfire.Â
Now, Trifecta inspires intense admiration and debate among audiophiles. If you’re looking for a powerful sonic experience far beyond ordinary, look no further.
Pushing the Limits: Three 10mm ADLC Dynamic Drivers
Trifecta is Campfire’s first and only IEM to feature three, full range 10mm dynamic drivers. This allows Trifecta to move a significant amount of air, creating a signal that is powerful enough to conjure an over-ear like experience in the compact, personal, and portable form-factor of an IEM.
"The Campfire Audio Trifecta are probably the best IEMs you’ll ever hear, bar none."
- Mark Sparrow, Forbes
Bringing it all together
Campfire's Triangular Additive Acoustic Chamber
Trifecta’s central chamber is specially engineered to combine Trifecta’s three full-range dynamic drivers into a single, cohesive force. With all three drivers facing one another, they feed into the triangle-shaped chamber, uniting each driver’s air pressure into a powerful wave that helps create Trifecta’s bold, unique sound.
"Trifecta is first and foremost an emotional listen; I can’t help but be swept up in its massive, enveloping bass and smooth, organic midrange. It’s one of the more analogue-sounding IEMs I’ve heard, and is both lifelike and natural when it comes to vocal and instrument timbre."

Skillfully Crafted
Trifecta is masterfully hand-assembled by Campfire's small production team in Portland, Oregon; bringing together precision engineering with careful skill and craftsmanship to create an outstanding top-to-bottom experience.
Individually Vented Drivers
Rather than a single pressure release for Trifecta’s driver configuration, each driver is individually vented, creating balanced air pressure to the front and rear of the driver. This ensures the driver’s full range of motion, even speed, and greater accuracy, elevating the overall performance of each driver across the frequency spectrum.
Theme and Variations
Trifecta’s unique, transparent nylon shell offers us the unique opportunity to hand-dye these shells in a wide range of colors. Pairing these iterations with different driver-casings and shell accents, Trifecta is offered in a wide range of styles and continues to evolve.
