Campfire Audio Andromeda Reference In-Ear Headphones Green

Product Information

That said however, it is a known issue that the paint chips on Campfire Audio’s products, hence the reason for the included protective shell pouch. The Andromeda is ultimately still an IEM and suffers from the same limitations when it comes to staging.

The MACH 60 is a solid IEM, but I don’t think that it can rival Andromeda Emerald Sea in terms of sound quality. On the other hand, Aurum is a power-hungry, engaging, v-shaped box of fun, that is not far in terms of detail and ability. On the other hand, Craft Ears IEM has a fantasthicc bass, making it much better suited for heavier, more low-heave genres.One could argue that the differences between the Andromeda 2nd edition and Andromeda 2020 are somewhat marginal.

I believe on IOS devices, manually dragging the volume slider gives you a few more steps than using the volume buttons. And it might not be a day and night difference in how the reviewer rates it, but he may decide, consciously or unconsciously, to say more positive things or overlook negative things because the manufacturer was so generous to them. The 2020 retains a very similar style as one would expect, and the uptick of sub-bass contributes to a slightly heavier attack and note weight on top. Thanks to Campfire Audio for providing Andromeda 2020 in exchange for an honest impression/feedback. Campfire somehow makes IEMs with big nozzles that do not make me itchy after a long time of using them.

The real reason the current system works is because the mfrs are providing the reviewer the opportunity to enhance his resume with additional reviews via the new product. The 5-axis means that the head of the machine and the item under work are moving, allowing for much more advanced milling. The previous silver-plated Litz cable had a transparent silver color which looked good, yet vulnerable to discoloration and stains. There’s a cleaner background with a dip through the middle-treble to retain contrast and defined layers to good effect. This prevents the shells from knocking against each other during storage and scratching themselves up.

Compared to the previous entry to the Campfire Audio Andromeda family, the reviewed Emerald Sea has an even lower impedance of 6,375 Ohms.But also considering that the end result and satisfaction decided by each and everyone’s personal preference? The midrange tells a similar story, both are naturally voiced, but the EST-6 comes across as even more coherent and even-metered. Treble is always hard to do well, because often it gets covered by other sounds, or the drivers can’t deliver the needed low-level detail. In the arms-race to fit a higher and higher number of drivers into an earphone, we find that a results-driven technique to driver treatment produces superior results with less room for pitfalls and ever-expanding variables that can undermine product consistency.
