About this deal

Next up, accessories. As a part of the set, you’ll find three Time Stream cables: 3,5mm, 2,5mm balanced, and 4,4mm balanced. One is already connected to the Andromeda’s, other two are in the brown sheet with the manufacturer’s logo.

Custom Beryllium/Copper MMCX connections while de rigour at the moment are solid options and provide excellent connectivity. All of the above fit nicely into the machined Aluminum shell, of slimmed down size from the past. Slightly rounded corners help with the fit as well. The seal with the Comply tips is well above average and whilst the nozzle is not the deepest there is really zero movement or gaps being created in either an open or close jaw stance. Once again the Andromeda beats out the SE846, IE800, and the Roxanne for fit and seal, which at this price is essential. Cable Upgrade They are not ‘up there’ with usually more pluses than minuses - usually more about sonic signatures/specialities. An overall more balanced and believe it or not; an even more enjoyable listen. Andromeda ‘Emerald Sea’– How do they sound?

Campfire Audio describe it as ‘Mammoth’s bold and vibrant sound offers a surprising combination of visceral fun and technical brawn…’ Unlike others, when tuning, CA didn’t sacrifice pleasure and timbre for 0,5% more detail. Campfire Audio always had its own vision of doing things, which as you know I appreciate a lot. Through time, we had 13 versions of Andromeda, with the reviewed Emerald Sea being the latest. Campfire likes to play with limited editions, creating unique designs with spectacular finishes. The earphones themselves is where Campfire Audio really make their statement. Gone is the severe, angular shape of the old Andromeda. For the ‘Emerald Sea’, the housings are smaller, smother and more streamlined. This is also a new shape for Campfire Audio, and this really adds to the comfort of the earphones. This shape works perfectly for me, nestling nicely into my ears with no feeling of pressure even after a long listening session. The edging on the housing of the Andromeda does feel a little bit sharper and less rounded than the Jupiter which I found to be a curious design choice given comfort can be critical and the screws have also changedto a slightly larger silver variant. To be honest, if they kept the course, and made Andromeda 13.0 just more refined, most people would be happy with that. I would too, to be frank. But sometimes change is good. Trying new things, effin’ around, and finding out is part of the growth. I respect that decision. And I believe we should give an honest listen to the new model.

This is headphone is gear toward mid-hifi user with experience with BA IEM or extremely neutral iem such as shure line of iem but found it to be too lifeless and dry. The Campfire Andromeda 2020 and Sennheiser IE 900 are two outstanding IEMs that any true audiophile would be thrilled to own. Besides the sheer skill of both of these earphones, it is their undeniably recognizable sound signatures that makes them so memorable and sets them apart from all other IEMs in this price range. What are the contrasting characteristics between the two models, and which is the better overall performer? Let’s find out in this Campfire Andromeda 2020 vs Sennheiser IE 900 Review. In the Box Campfire Andromeda 2020The core look of the Andromeda has remained the same – a metallic green finish on aluminum shells with Campfire Audio’s signature angular design. While there have been some minor changes to the spout, the screws and other minor details, the exterior design remains consistent and recognizable. The interior, however, has been completely redesigned for the Andromeda 2020. Campfire now uses a solid-body 3d printed acoustic chamber, which provides improvements to both the acoustic properties of the IEMs and their durability. I have many other tips here but usually end up going for either the Final Tips for this kind of CA nozzle, or the Spiral Dots++ They just are not part of their top tier - but many would be satisfied i believe with them if they bought them with appropriate expectations in mind

Its a reference style, full sound, fun earphone. It has something for everyone and is quite versatile….some might see it as a mini andro. True in a sense, perhaps the andro2019 of the green series comes close but its flat freq more closely aligns to its elder sibling also releasd as a limited edition in Japan the Andromeda MW10, which is also one of my favorite earphones. Cable Campfire Audio Litz Cable – Silver Plated Copper Conductors with Berylium Copper MMCX and 3.5mm Stereo Plug I am not completely sure if they came out and said this was their flagship and given it is a Quad BA, and there is room upwards, that might not have been the wisest thing to do. However, most people presumed as such based on it being the most expensive. Sorry, but it is a rich delicious sound, decent fast full hitting deep bass, and luxurious low/upper mids, highs extending correctly and vocals just above the music (and not overly forward - how i like it). Male and female vocals reproduced properly.This is my 5th day owning the Campfire Holocene and in the mean time I have found an optimal setting for my equipment to perfectly match my listening style but I would like to give an overview to you all about what to expect of it out of the box. CA has sought to differentiate Andromeda from the cluster of competitive CIEMs out there at this price mark by introducing two key design choices. The first we saw and talked about a little during the Orion review and that is the switch from the previous SPC Tinsel cable to their new Litz constructed cable. Yes. Andro Gold is great. I often take it or the iBasso IT07 as one of my three IEM daily carries (for the low end love). If you go SE with foams, just add +2 to warmth in the text below. It’s crazy-revealing, so I hope your DAC/AMP game is top-tier. Emerald Sea delivers amazing low-level detail if your setup has noise low enough. Also, another quality I know Andros for: the textures. It’s something that balanced armatures do very well, and combined with the timbre it will send shivers down your spine. My experience with Emerald Sea was: you start listening in the evening: “Oh I wonder how that will sound with them” and it’s morning already. I’ve decided to trademark “it gets you there” for equipment that sends me into an emotional listening state. Reviewed Campfire Audio Andromeda Emerald Sea gets you there . It’s GYT . Polish readers will love it.
