Campfire Audio - Introducing 2 new models Hello Andromeda and Nova

[Currawong]

 

  Yeah it kind of reminded me of the sound signature of the HE1000, just in an IEM version. I can see acoustic being a highlight.

Ooh, that's a good way to describe it for me since I've heard the HE1K. If that's the case, than as an IEM, it wouldn't be my perfect all-rounder for the exact reason that @Currawong has a slight problem with it. Would be great if I were just sitting around not doing anything, but when movement is involved, I'd like to have more low-end grunt. And since I listen to a lot of EDM and my taste for bass is certainly north of flat, there needs to be much more bass than I'm getting out of something like the Nova, for example.

I'm due to try the foam tips again to see if that balances them better for that kind of music. It's rather funny, because before I was trying to get them to be less bass strong. This is why I tend to be slow writing (or recording) IEM reviews.

Yeah the HE1000 can do EDM but I definately prefer something like the TH-900 for that kind of music, probably the same way with the Andromeda. It will sound good, but there are definately better options if that's mostly what you listen too. The problem with those others, like the TH-900 for example, is that's really ALL they do well sometimes.

Listening to 'Heart' by DARKSIDE from their Psychic album...... I'm just in a kinda of trance right now.... just stuck.... Now onto the 'City of The Sun' latest album "To The Sun And All The Cities In Between" (24Bit/192Khz sampling)...... which is just acoustic nirvana, plain and simple...
 
The Andromeda is just an exquisite iem that draws me into the music and keeps me there to listen in awe.

"City of The Sun" great band thanks for tip..

Yeah awesome headphone album too, wonderfully produced by the Chesky Bro's. You should look it up on HDTracks to see how they produced it, has a lot to do with why it sounds amazing on top of being excellent music. Think i might listen to it tonight, it's been a while

Hi,

No such thing sorry.

Andromeda will be replace the existing shell to become a more rounded shell, maybe they removed that internal shaper corner edge

 
 

  I think that was just pipe dreams being floated around TBH. No mention of it when I was there. They just said the Andromeda will be their flagship. The Studio Six has been their flagship for 3 or 4 years now so I have no reason to doubt them.

 
I guess that settles it then, only a singular version of Andromeda. Only the one and only. I will get it but there's currently no stock XD

I hope its true that I fall in love with Andromeda's sound.....despite some higher priced IEMs I have listed not necessarily it can always be a winner if im correct?

after so much looking around n exploring I have ended up with the following Shortlist and will go home with one of these after proper auditioning....


Andromeda

K10U

Fitear TG334

Fostex TE100


Order of preference without any proper audition....


Also hoping the revised edition of Andromeda will resolve the fit issues?

andromeda no doubt.

Hmmm I could see a 'treble head' liking the Jupiter over the Andromeda. I think that because the Jupiter is known to have a 'U' type sound that the treble is more prominent. I wish I soup been able to demo the Jupiter but while I was a about to pull the trigger on the Jupiter the Andromeda was announced so there you have it. I think my next Campfireaudio purchase will be their headphone though. Hmmmm

I listen to other stuff besides EDM, but I'd say for certain that 50% of my library is EDM and it's what I enjoy the most. The other half is a mix of a lot of other music. Might not like it quite as much, but you gotta learn to appreciate right? Anyway, it's why I've got a Jh16 Pro FP waiting to be reshelled at InEarz right now. I figure that should do the trick.

I changed the stock cable of andromeda to linum and now I am more comfortable in wearing it...also I can insert it more deep because there is no stiffness in cable anymore...I think memory wire should be removed in campfire cables...
