All drivers are made in china afaik, “made in germany” or whatever can just be because it is assembled there.

I mean they are not Chinese development. Otherwise, I know that everything comes from the great China

Yeah, sometimes it is dull and the upper treble takes care of that. But I would recommend this for someone who has no clue what he wants in this saturated market.
( Not mentioning the disagreement of Reviewers )

Cool. Hope you dig the MagicOne, John. A unique set. NOT an all-arounder at all but works so well with the genres that suit it.
Drive them with some significant power – you will NOT get anywhere near peak fidelity from a phone, an Apple dongle or a low-powered dongle. I drive them from my JDS Labs Atom+ desktop setup.
Enjoy!

“first time driver tech” huh? So LCP (Liquid SILICONE Polymer) drivers havent existed for the last few decades then?

I think it’s more than just the material. The mode of operation also looks slightly different.
EQing Magic One makes it a beast. But yeah, that IEM is hungry for sure.

Just heads up - silicone and silicon are different materials (and a nightmare for me as non english native to wrap my heads around when reading technical papers sometimes)

Edit: I stand corrected
Chris from CFA say it’s a more rectangular driver, and very small.

They say that they believe they’re first in the world.

Huh, I don’t even know what to think of that lol. Like they tried to make a DD out of some Planar and XMEMS bits in a BA form factor.

I guess this replaces their Comet, and is about as low-priced as a CA will ever be that isn’t a basic ba-in-a-plastic-shell like the Satsuma.
The tuning will be a big question mark, especially with the new or at least bizarre tech involved.
The USB-C cable is interesting but my question is whether it sounds the same through a regular MMCX cable or relies on tuning tricks in the DAC cable.

My guess (given new driver and pack-in USB-C) is that it’s got some kind of DSP shenanigans happening. The almost XMEMS bit “Micro IC Chip Voice Coil Technology” also makes me wonder if it needs USB-C for electrical reasons (no idea if USB-C handles the DC voltage bias or not, I’m not IBEW).
Edit: It’s a real juice sucker too, by the looks of it:
Double-Edit: Campfire reps say you can use any cable, just that she’s a thirsty one.
They do benefit from some extra power, so using the included cable or a preferred DAC is recommended. You can run them off of a standard cable direct from your phone, but you might find you have to have your volume set on the higher side. Using a different DAC can def change the flavor a bit, but not so drastically as to lose the essence of Axion’s tuning.

Looks like we went from Planars looking like DDs, to DDs looking like planars now.

aa ops. Thought this was another weird english situation like Aluminium and Aluminum

wow so it’s actually a new innovation 
Apparently due to earlier scientists using either French or Latin in their work! I’m team Aluminium but I’ll say Aloominum while I’m in the states
