Campfire Audio Andromeda Reference In-Ear Headphones Green

Product Information

As a result of the increased upper mids balance, the low mids don’t sound as bloated either, despite the bass crossing straight into the mids. These drivers also feature the added benefits of lower sensitivity, and extremely low harmonic distortion.

It’s a significant upgrade in the perception of spaciousness in how instruments play around each other. Regardless of how the Andromeda sounds, I can definitely say this is one heck of a premium unboxing experience. Going back to the mids, some vocals could drive me crazy on top of the treble being extended (Grace Jones), while others were just fine. If you would rather choose the good thickness and weighty punches (seeking more basshead sound, really), then the conclusion for weighting between two IEMs would end up suggesting Andromeda 2020 over Ara. The Andro has a larger and more holographic soundstage in turn, while the Aether R has slightly more stable imaging yet.It does scale well in terms of resolution and staging, however, I would definitely recommend pairing the Andro 2020 with a resolving, low impedance source.

One is already connected to the Andromeda’s, other two are in the brown sheet with the manufacturer’s logo. Andromeda 2020, on the other hand, feels more polished out on the surface (not killing the texture details, of course), letting the sound to be smoother and silkier. Finally, to respond to Dale and Dave’s points, my concern isn’t that you are going to give a lousy headphone a great review just because you might profit from it, personally. Despite the lesser bass quantity, it never gets the lows to feel light or hollow – but instead, Ara presents a sound signature that is closer to a reference tuning. The EST-6 is undoubtedly the choice for those valuing lifelike timbre while the Andromeda provides a more vivid and high-definition display.After a few months, Tyll complained that my reviews were getting more reads than his, on his own site. It is just as attractive as Andromeda 2020, showing a sound signature that is both similar and different.
