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

Moondrop Blessing 3

The Moondrop Blessing 3 is a wired hybrid IEM that combines dual dynamic drivers with four balanced armatures to deliver a technically ambitious sound at a mid-range price. Its tuning leans neutral with subtle boosts at the extremes, offering strong detail and imaging, though its bulky build and lack of modern conveniences like ANC or wireless connectivity limit its portability.

  • Pro:Excellent frequency response consistency
  • Pro:Strong imaging and detail retrieval
  • Pro:Neutral tuning with subtle bass and treble emphasis
  • Con:Large, heavy shells can be uncomfortable
  • Con:Fragile faceplates prone to damage
  • Con:No noise cancellation or water resistance
