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 MACH 70
The Westone MACH 70 is a premium seven-driver universal IEM with a three-way crossover, housed in a compact shell. It offers a warm, bass-forward signature with strong clarity and dynamics, and comes with a generous accessory set including a quality cable and multiple ear tips. While specs suggest easy driving, real-world use may require a bit more power than expected.
- Pro:Rich, bass-forward sound with good clarity
- Pro:Compact and lightweight build
- Pro:Includes premium cable and multiple tip options
- Con:High price point may limit accessibility
- Con:Not as easy to drive as sensitivity specs imply
- Con:Bass emphasis may not suit neutral purists
