What reviewers said

Campfire Audio Andromeda 2020

The Campfire Audio Andromeda 2020 is a premium five-driver balanced armature IEM that refines the original's signature with smoother, more coherent mids and improved treble. It delivers an expansive soundstage with excellent imaging and layering, though its low impedance and high sensitivity mean it demands a quality source to shine. A worthwhile update for both newcomers and existing fans, it excels in clarity and detail but has some limitations in bass texture.

  • Pro:Cohesive and smooth midrange
  • Pro:Excellent soundstage and imaging
  • Pro:Strong, detailed treble
  • Con:Requires a high-quality source
  • Con:Limited bass texture and weight
  • Con:No controls or ANC

Campfire Audio Dorado 2020

The Campfire Audio Dorado 2020 is a premium hybrid IEM that pairs a 10mm dynamic driver with a balanced armature to deliver a lively, bass-forward sound with sparkling treble and a clean midrange. Its robust build, comfortable fit, and easy-to-drive nature make it a distinctive choice for listeners who favor an energetic, V-shaped tuning over neutrality. While the sound is engaging and detailed, the colored response and occasional frequency peaks may not appeal to everyone.

  • Pro:Premium build quality and comfortable fit
  • Pro:Powerful, dynamic bass with good control
  • Pro:Sparkling treble and lively overall presentation
  • Con:Tuning is colored and not neutral
  • Con:Some uneven peaks and dips in frequency response
