   vivid, clarity, separation, soundstage

 
You just said Andromeda :)
And regarding their only problem, you can try my technique. The more photos you take, the more you get used to the ugly green

Aww, those look terrible too. But it doesn't matter..people can make fun of them all the time, but they are green and ugly because they get us the real good prime sound and one closes the eyes while listening in those cases... it just sound so good you have to listen and visualize the sound...

After really long time of searching new IEM I think I will go to the Campfire route. I tried a few basic models (in different months) like Jupiter, Sage, Spartan, UMPRO50 and I liked clearly most Jupiter and Spartan (really like their mids, clean nature and amazing separation, also very comfy and beauty design of the universal shell) but Jupiter sounded a little speaker like in attack, speed, tight so i think I liked them more from shorter experience (4days) but with different tips. Also vivid, clarity, separation, soundstage, neutral-natural balance all was there. So I think I will go with Andromeda soon when I will see good deal.

Still would like to hear more options Vega, UERR, ES60, AAW but I can not hear everything so I think Adnromeda will be save bet for me as better tuning of the Jupiter, in the end I like Andro green from photos now :D.  


Not too familiar with the campfire lineup. How would you say the pro50s compare to the others in terms of separation?

Yes the green with white cable looks pretty cool in my opinion:).

This is very hard for me because my time was limited and maybe If I would give them more time at least month my opnion could change a little. But ok my opinion I had PRO50 last year on 10 days with Shure olives tip and I had to returned it. Sound was very dark and also I felt it was muddy a few days, for me unlistenable but I think it is not bad IEM if you will find very clean player and some silver cable it has definitely potencial in technic capabilities, in mids, soundstage, and overal atmosphere, flow. But I am lazy to play with this, so my opinion PRO50 have wrong dark tuning (even for their purpose as for musicans). Only one IEM which I believe could be great from their line is ES60 but no chance to try it unfortunately. I liked in past UM3X but PRO30 have the same problem as PRO50 but PRO30 have moreover problem in technic aspects. Sad to say this but competition surpassed Westone evidently (just my opinion).. 
I did not feel some muddy in other brands I mentioned. Sage was too much kind to shine and I felt they adds some colours to the sound which was not for me..
And I listened all IEM with my iPhone 5s and 6 on spotify, iPhone is a little on warmer side of neutral in tuining in my opinion..
With Campfire you will get bigger picture of the music with good pace and separation is in one word great.

Thanks for your impressions! Seems like you definitely prefer a more balanced sound. Instrument separation and imaging are the most crucial for me, and maybe vocals, but definitely far more than sound signature (except for an overly fatiguing midbass). Been enjoying the um3x as well and it's been hard to find upgrades with superior separation that justify their cost. I agree with you that Westone definitely has much more competition these days. Been eyeing the pro50s for awhile but at that price range it sounds like the Jupiter could offer more. Maybe even a jump up to the Andromeda.
