About this deal

The upper mids has been elevated compared to the original Andromeda to a level such that vocals have clarity and aren’t totally buried. IF does have an advantage though compared to most independent review sites in that they’re part of the Stereophile media group, so they can share resources including reviewers with their sister sites. While it is not a kick of dynamic or bone-conduction drivers, it still pumps enough air to give an enjoyable experience.

If you don’t do the hard work, your competition will eat you alive, and this business is *extremely* competitive. Numbers of Andromeda have been born since the debut of the first Andromeda, yet it is surprising that Campfire Audio ultimately chose Andromeda S as the DNA for continuing the Andromeda legend. Don’t get me wrong, the treble of the MW10 isn’t as strong as say the 64 Audio Fourte, or even the Solaris 2020, so we don’t have overt splashiness or cringing brightness here but if OG treble was too strong for you, then you can definitely skip the MW10. The 2020 is much more coherent with much sharper imaging while the 2018 is a touch more holographic.Wealthy people for example have lots of money, but they almost never review things, because they specialize in investing, not reviewing. The Andromeda’s subbass extends down to the lowest octaves and upper bass crosses intentionally into the lower mids. The midrange tells a similar story, both are naturally voiced, but the EST-6 comes across as even more coherent and even-metered. Insertion depth is average with the nozzles having an upward rake and sitting at the front of the body.

It won’t surprise me if you reply with an ad hominem attack, and also another appeal to your tremendous authority as a reviewer — both classic logical fallacies. It beats the Ara’s bass to my ears which was never that much better than the 2020 to me despite the extra penises. Resolution is excellent but not to the next level when coming from mid-fi like you would expect when crossing the thousand-dollar threshold. The Andro is fuller and warmer throughout, equally quick, however, as the EST-6 is cleaner in its tuning, it is afforded slightly higher definition and separation.Very few serious reviewers have time to sell the things they review – those items that they’re allowed to keep. It’s strangely natural with nothing that really stands out as obtrusive to the listening experience. Campfire somehow makes IEMs with big nozzles that do not make me itchy after a long time of using them. For reference, this review will be conducted through the Apple USB-C dongle has an output impedance of < 1 Ohm.

Thanks to the open and airy nature of the sound it is not bothering me as much, but you know, we all have our preferences. Andromeda 2020 shows mildly more breeziness and coolness throughout the sound while Andromeda S sounds a bit warmer, darker, and deeper. The Andromeda 2020 isn’t just a homage, but an entire overhaul that addresses the original’s weaknesses whilst compounding upon its core charm. In addition to the new housing, Campfire has also added a new grill pattern to the spout to make it less susceptible to ear wax. Rather, it’s just another variant (albeit a very good variant), with its own pluses and minuses, in the (legendary?The base of the IEM is a set of five balanced armatures: two for low frequencies, one midrange, and two for high frequencies.
