Best review you've ever done. True passion can't be faked. :-)

Awesome review. Thanks for sharing your imoressuons. Getting mine in the mail Monday. Hyped

I listened to them at an audio show this summer and instantly love them! Another pair that gave me the same feeling are the Meze Penta Rai, which have not been released yet.

the only IEM in my (extensive) collection which i can use to grab words in lyrics, the vocal clarity is so above everything else. Thanks for this review, i can only agree 100% on your feeling about the Andros, i would trade all my high end headphones & IEMs to keep this one only. Cheers from France :-)

@@dimonius so the andromeda S has a little more presence in the upper mids. I asked the representative there and he stated that it has a unique mid driver that is better for female vocals.

I would love to see your thoughts on the shanling m0. I am blown away with the value it has given me. Sound quality over Bluetooth in receiver mode from my phone is unreal.

Hi DMS, Don't know if you know, but you can now get custom made tips for the Andromeda done by Snugs, I presume they go to Canjam events and shows in the USA and also have some presence in the states.

I had to delete an earlier comment. I had asked for a comparison with Andromeda S because it’s the same price. I went with the regular Andromeda after demo’ing them both side by side and hearing back from DMS whose impression was spot on as usual. Just wanted to say thanks.

DMS, any chance you can sweet talk the CA into letting you review the rest of the line up? Most reviewers tend to focus on the Andros. How about a bit of love for the Jupiter, Nova, Orion, etc?

Do you think that I should get the Shure kse1200 or the Dita the dream or the andromeda?

Andromeda. Its just so hard to beat.

I've seriously been considering buying these but I'm having trouble deciding. I want a nice iem (or iem like experience) I can do running in, my at home setup is all Audeze headphones (from LCD-4 down to LCD-X and I've tried the iSines). I've heard the Unique Melody ME-1's are a much better planar in ear than the iSines. I imagine they are different, but any chance you can compare the andromeda to the UM ME-1. I can't seem to find a ton of reviews online about the UM in ear planars. Sorry in advance for the word spaghetti post.

I was expecting you DMS to get into some technical details, like at least explaining the T.A.E.C system that makes a great deal on how any of Campfire Audio BA IEMs sound. It's responsible for that big wall of sound you're referring to.. and the vocal density that is a recurring feature in most other CA BA IEMs. When the time comes and you get your hands on the new line of 64 Audio products, I hope you would go into detail about ADEL (or the new APEX) and tia systems.

The only problem with this iem is the eartip.

@NiohNiohYT

5 жыл бұрын

Sony ZX2 is among the worst players in existence. There is constant hiss with very sensitive iems (including Sony's own EX700lp/EX1000, and my Senn IE80 for example). It also has slight distortions on very high volumes which is very weird for even cheapest of players. Sony seems to use some proprietary amp, probably to cut costs instead of using good 3rd party ones that are proven and found in all other players for a good reason. Overpriced garbage for wannabe-audiophiles that pay for everything that has: leather, aluminium, wood, plate some of it with gold for couple of cents in cost per product and you got a nice "audiophile" grade Sony Walkman. Garbage that sounds worse than literally quarter of a price FiiO with WM8740, let alone similarly priced players from say hifiman or AK (that are also overpriced naturally but at least deliver better than Sony).

Nice.

The question is : do you still have them ? :)

It's funny you mentioned "take me home country roads" because that song is the reason why I'm getting a high end iems and thanks for mentioning kse1500 in this video because I'm thinking about getting this, kse or audeze lcdi4. So what do you think about audeze lcdi4 vs these?

@DMS3TV

If you like the isines, you'll probably like the LCDi4. I haven't been that much of a fan of in ear planars so for me I would rather have Andromeda or KSE1500, but at that point it's just personal preference because the LCDi4 is definitely good.

@DMS3TV

med icine the more drivers u have, the problem is having all drivers work together harmoniously, campfire audio uses TEAC for its balance armatures. Same goes for JH audio on their roxannes, layla etc using patented Freqphase. Hence not having a good balance will affect transients, dynamics, timbre etc. Campfire has created something amazing because of the build quality and the material used and the cable that comes with it (Litz cable) u can buy 18 drivers and still sound like shit.
