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.

A worthwhile update for both newcomers and existing fans, it excels in clarity and detail but has some limitations in bass texture.
