High End 2023: Revolutionary - Camerton Binomial ER

And we continue with our High End Munich 2023 blog and today I would like to introduce a very special pair of headphones: the Camerton Binom ER. 

What makes it so special?

Now on the one hand the new technologies used and on the other hand the fact that it is made by hand by only one person in Berlin, but more on that later.

What is the binomial ER?

The Binom ER is a so-called isodynamic headphone that was developed using the most modern technologies. Its design is based on the many years of experience of Camerton founder and mastermind Oleh Lizohub, as well as extensive computer simulations, to create a headphone that is unique in every respect.

By the way, every single Binom ER is made by hand in Berlin - every single component from the chassis to the ear pads. 

This results in a limited number of pieces that can be produced: around 10 pieces per month. 

As always, let's first take a look at the subject of our considerations...

At first glance, the Binom ER looks like an ordinary modern pair of headphones, but if you look closely, you notice a few interesting details.

For example, the use of USB-C ports on the earcups instead of a 3.5mm jack or even MiniXLR. Why ? Quite simply: Because the drivers and the actual housing are so thin that even a 3.5mm jack would have been too thick for it. Of course, it is not a digital signal but an analogue signal that is transmitted via the USB-C ports, because that is also possible. 

Here you can see one of the two drivers fully assembled. The only thing that sits above it is the magnetically held ear cushion. 

Camerton also supplies 2 cables as standard: a 1.2m long cable, which can actually be connected directly to a smartphone via USB-C, and a 2.5m long headphone cable with either a balanced 4PIN XLR or 6.3mm jack for stationary use . A 6m long cable can be ordered as an option.

The magnetic ear pads are available in 3 versions:

• The standard leather padding (see pictures) for balanced sound
• A leather and Alcantara upholstery that emphasizes the bass
• A thin cushion that brings the binomial ER to a more neutral tuning

The pads can also be purchased as a set with the Binom ER to adapt the headphones to different musical styles and tastes.

The Sound

What's the point of all the effort if the binomial ER didn't sound great in the end? Exactly. And yes, he does. Thanks to its unique drivers, the Binom ER covers an impressive frequency spectrum from 8Hz to 51 kHz. 

To put it another way: The thing can reproduce an abysmal bass and at the same time extremely high-resolution treble - of course without any sign of artifacts or sharpness. 

Voices are wonderfully clear, sonorous and natural. The channel separation is excellent.

Overall, I would describe the sound of the Binom ER as full-bodied and rich, but at the same time airy and highly detailed.

Oh yes. I almost forgot: The Binom ER harmonizes with every style of music, making it a real all-rounder.

Synergy: I tested the Binom Er on my Cayin N7 DAP and on an absolutely exceptional headphone amplifier - the Kallyste-Amethyste (see pictures), which we will also have soon will have in the shop!

It's amazing: Even with a mobile device like the N7 you don't have the feeling that something is missing - the Binom ER sounds amazing! When asked about this, Oleh just smiled and told me that the Binom ER should even sound very good directly on a smartphone - the clever design and efficient drivers make this possible.

If you connect the Binom ER to a high-quality headphone amplifier like When you get the Kallyste, you can fully enjoy the capabilities of these revolutionary headphones. 

The great thing about it: You can take the Binom ER with you on the go and operate it on your smartphone or DAP (a carrying case is included) and also use it at home on the stationary system.

Conclusion

The Binom ER from Camerton is a truly innovative headphone that combines the best sound with the highest functionality, offering its users flexibility in every situation.

The optionally available ear pads for sound tuning, the possibility of getting the binom in different colors and all possible connections complete the overall picture of a product that is absolutely worth its (high) price, especially when you consider that Each binomial ER is made by hand in Germany. 

This isn't just another mass-produced product: these are one of the best headphones in the world!

The Binom ER is now available from Audio Essence exclusively in Switzerland and can be manufactured in a variety of color combinations upon request.
