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 Iris - Hybrid IEM

The Campfire Audio Iris is a compact hybrid IEM that delivers a warm, lively sound with deep, well-controlled bass and clean treble. It offers good ergonomics for small ears, a solid accessory set, and strong value, though its soundstage is somewhat limited and tip rolling may be needed for optimal fit and isolation.

  • Pro:Punchy, articulate bass with good control
  • Pro:Smooth midrange and clean treble
  • Pro:Compact, comfortable fit for small ears
  • Con:Narrower soundstage depth than pricier rivals
  • Con:Upper treble can be aggressive at times
  • Con:May require tip rolling for best isolation
