Sounds fun, thank you.
As an aside: symphonic metal. Not a genre I'm familiar with, but I am mostly a jazz/classical/jamband listener. Sounds cool. Any suggestions? Feel free to PM if preferred.

Are you asking here about bands into symphonic metal? If so, please try Therion, anything from their Vovin or Deggial LPs
Well... I've been listening to our demo Saber for the past couple of days and I'm gonna buy a pair
Don't expect bass canons, or an analytical sound - these are super engaging, snappy, energetic and fun - yes they are occasionally borderline sibilant, yet to me are fatigue free.
@01BXTR you are quite right in saying they share some "grado-like" qualities - maybe that's why I am enjoying them so much.
Great - a part of me hopes they are more of a Grado Hemp style sounds vs the traditional Grado sound.
I really like the shell of the satsuma, honeydew, vega, and dorado 2020. That's good news they are continuing this form factor.
Mine will be in Monday!

I got shipment notification for mine yesterday. They’re scheduled to arrive on Monday. I’ll post a comparison between them and the OG Andros I just got today.

They arrived early. I’ve been listening to them a bit this morning and will over the weekend, too. Thoughts TK.

Remember the DD drivers need time to break-in and the sound will change.

How is its mid range sound, comparing with other recent IEMs from CA?
Crinacle has ripped Campfire in general. I am interested in your feedback.
Yeah, it’s pretty clear he doesn’t like their differing sonic signatures. He’s made it pretty clear he’s only really interested in one very specific sound signature, which, while I don’t have an issue with, I think would be terribly boring in a hobby where differences in sound are both what draw me to certain devices and what make the complementary to certain music.

Having listened to some of his picks, I have to say while his graph database is fantastic, I really want a very different sound signature than him.

So far -
(Listening through the apple dongle and Apple Music lossless)
Fit is good
They look great
Bon Iver’s baritone is fantastic
Taylor Swift on folklore sounds a little dull. She’s great on this record so it’s not her or the recording.
Sarah McLachan sounds similarly flat
More later.

Oh boy. Not the most promising. Hopefully that’s a limited issue. I feel like way too many iems are rough with female vocals.

I’m gonna give them a chance to open up. I have more thoughts about a favorite record and I’ll post those soon.
