Campfire Audio Cascade

Yes, the Cascade is designed for portability. It features a foldable design for compact storage and uses durable materials like forged aluminum and stainless steel, making it robust enough for travel while maintaining a relatively lightweight profile.

With an impedance of 38 Ohms and a sensitivity of 100 dB, the Cascade is efficient enough to be driven by most smartphones, tablets, and laptops without needing a dedicated amplifier. However, using a high-quality DAC or amp can help you get the most out of the driver's detail and bass response.

The Cascade is known for a surprisingly wide soundstage for a closed-back model. It delivers a punchy, impactful sound with textured bass and detailed highs, thanks to the 42mm Beryllium PVD diaphragm drivers, avoiding the 'boxed-in' feeling common in many closed-back designs.

Yes, the sheepskin ear pads are magnetically attached, which makes them very easy to remove and replace if they wear out over time or if you simply want to clean them.

The Cascade utilizes circular 'Push-Pull' connectors for the cable attachment. This proprietary connection is designed to be secure and durable, and the included cable is a high-quality Litz silver-plated copper wire with a cloth jacket to minimize microphonics.

The headphones feature plush sheepskin ear pads that provide excellent isolation and comfort. While the construction is sturdy and uses metal components, the ergonomic design is balanced for extended wear, though the weight of 13.5 ounces is something to keep in mind if you are sensitive to heavier headsets.
