Generation & platform
The scores rank quality. This is the other question: is the newer one actually newer technology, or the same platform in a new shell?
Same generation
The Kinera Thorking is 3 years newer, but it is the same generation of hardware: nothing in the radio, the codecs or the noise cancelling separates them. Nothing separates them on convenience features either, so the choice comes down to tuning and price. For 3 years between them, that is a thin return - treat this as a restyle rather than a new platform.

What reviewers said
Campfire Audio Supermoon
The Campfire Audio Supermoon is a premium single-driver planar IEM that delivers a lively, bass-strong, and highly detailed sound signature with impressive clarity and imaging. While its low impedance and moderate sensitivity mean it benefits from a quality source or amplifier, its lightweight build, excellent resolution, and energetic treble make it a standout technical performer in the high-end category.
- Pro:Excellent resolution and detail retrieval
- Pro:Engaging, bass-strong sound with clear vocals
- Pro:Lightweight and well-built with detachable cable
- Con:Bright treble may be too energetic for some
- Con:Needs extra power despite low impedance
- Con:Upper-mid push can cause glare on certain tracks
Kinera Thorking
The Kinera Thorking is a premium tribrid flagship IEM with a treble-forward, reference-style tuning that prioritizes air, detail, and transparency. Its 11-driver setup delivers strong technical performance with excellent separation and imaging, though the lean bass and lower midrange may not appeal to those seeking warmth or heavy impact. Best suited for treble enthusiasts and classical music fans, it pairs well with warmer sources to balance its bright character.
- Pro:Excellent treble extension and airiness
- Pro:Strong technicalities with precise imaging and layering
- Pro:Natural, coherent midrange
- Con:Lean bass and lower midrange may lack warmth
- Con:Not for bassheads or those seeking impactful low-end
- Con:Can sound dry at times
