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
KZ ZSX Pro
The KZ ZSX Pro is a budget-friendly in-ear monitor that punches above its price class with a balanced, engaging sound signature, featuring solid bass, clear mids, and detailed treble. While it offers impressive performance for the cost, its large shell design and subpar stock cable are notable compromises, and a slight treble peak can lead to listening fatigue for some. Overall, it's a strong value for those prioritizing sound quality over comfort and accessories.
- Pro:Excellent value for the price, competing with higher-tier IEMs
- Pro:Well-balanced tuning with deep bass and detailed treble
- Pro:Wide soundstage for its class
- Con:Large shells may be uncomfortable for smaller ears
- Con:Stock cable is cheap and needs upgrading
- Con:Treble can sound harsh or grainy at times
