Generation & platform
The scores rank quality. This is the other question: is the newer one actually newer technology, or the same platform in a new shell?
Same generation
The Campfire Audio Andromeda Gold is 6 years newer, but it is the same generation of hardware: nothing in the radio, the codecs or the noise cancelling separates them. Nothing separates them on convenience features either, so the choice comes down to tuning and price. For 6 years between them, that is a thin return - treat this as a restyle rather than a new platform.

What reviewers said
Campfire Audio Andromeda Gold
The Andromeda Gold is a significant reworking of Campfire Audio's flagship IEM, swapping in seven balanced-armature drivers for a more bass-heavy, V-shaped sound. It delivers a notably more spacious and detailed presentation than earlier versions, making it a strong choice for those wanting the most low-end-focused Andromeda yet. While not a full review, early impressions highlight its impressive tuning and premium build, positioning it as a top-tier performer in its price range.
