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 METEOR
The Moondrop Meteor is a tribrid in-ear monitor that impresses with its refined treble, expansive soundstage, and lifelike vocal reproduction, making it one of the brand's most polished tunings. However, its lighter bass punch and a somewhat demanding fit for smaller ears are notable compromises for potential buyers.
- Pro:Excellent treble extension and airiness
- Pro:Wide, immersive soundstage
- Pro:Natural and realistic vocal timbre
- Con:Bass impact is on the lighter side
- Con:Fit can be problematic for smaller ears
- Con:No wireless or ANC features at this price
