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
Westone AM Pro X30 Earphones
The Westone AM Pro X30 is a triple balanced-armature in-ear monitor designed primarily for stage and studio work, offering a clear, vocal-forward sound with a transparent, uncolored character. Its standout feature is the ambient pass-through system, which lets performers hear their surroundings without removing the earpieces, though this compromises isolation. While it delivers controlled bass and smooth treble, it is more functional than musical, with limited technical prowess in detail retrieval and dynamics.
- Pro:Excellent vocal clarity and midrange focus
- Pro:Effective ambient pass-through for stage awareness
- Pro:Balanced, natural tonal signature with smooth treble
- Con:Limited sound isolation due to ambient design
- Con:Average detail retrieval and dynamic contrast
- Con:Not ideal for bass-heavy or highly technical listening
