The only way to keep the sound intact is to use low output impedance (~<1 Ohm) sources. A lot of sources will specify a headphone impedance range that starts with 16 Ohms, but the Andromeda goes down to 4 Ohms in the bass region.

I prefer the more “studio monitor type sound” at 2 ohms than the warmer <1 ohm sources since I use my Yamaha HS7 speakers as my reference. At 3 ohms or higher, it sounds too analytical and edgy and bass becomes hollow

I alternate between the symbio wide and spiral dots. Both are excellent with the Andro.

Just got some Spiral Dots in - initial impressions with the Andromeda are very positive. Bass is considerably more present and textured than the Spinfits without sounding muffled like the Comply. Haven't had the time to A/B them against the Symbio tips, but from memory the Spiral Dots sound close and are more comfortable for me. On first listen, a good alternative to the Symbio tips - thanks for the recommendation!

Do you wear the same size in Spiral Dots as with SpinFits?

Outer diameter (at the base) of the Spiral Dots M is very close to that of the Spinfits M but the Spiral Dots are a lot shallower, so I think I actually want to go a size up. Only have the medium dots (only size reasonably priced on Amazon :/) on hand but should have other sizes in the next couple of weeks. Can report back then.

Edit: should’ve mentioned this - I use medium spinfits on the left side and small on the right (wonky ears haha). I get a good seal in both ears with the medium spiral dots.

I have been using the medium Symbio tips with the foam removed. The mediums with foam wouldn't fit into my ears at all even if compressed while I wouldn't get a good seal with the small ones. It sounds good but not as comfortable as Spinfits however it isolates better.

I use the foam removed from the symbio tips and put those in the spiral dots. They feel comfy and sound good to me.

Sirs and Ladies,
Does anyone have an suggestions for a complimentary IEM with the Andromeda?
I'm looking to spend $1000 or less.

Thanks!
