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: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 Lyra II

The Campfire Audio Lyra II is a wired in-ear monitor with a compact 8.5mm beryllium dynamic driver housed in a durable liquid metal shell.

Designed for listeners who prefer a relaxed, musical sound over analytical precision, it pairs well with a variety of genres.

  • Pro:Warm, lush, and engaging sound signature
  • Pro:High-quality beryllium driver for detailed dynamics
  • Pro:Sturdy liquid metal construction
  • Con:No active noise cancellation
  • Con:Sensitivity may require a decent source to avoid hiss
