The Andromeda or fathom would be the ones I would get.

Most rock/indie/alternative. Some jazz, some hip hop and electronic.

My vote go to Fathom. Or Bonneville if you want big DD bass. Cascara if you want to save some money

2 votes for fathom, interesting!

The Fathom have an all round 'niceness'. Easy to drive and a balanced sound. The Bonneville will give you that and more for a premium.
The Supermoon can be had for less, but requires more drive. They are a bit larger and heavier.

Thanks for the answer! Comfort is essential, so from what you said Supermoon is out.
Fathom or Bonneville could be an option.

Bonneville

Very comfortable and tons of bass.

I got back into Campfire IEMs with the Fathom but beware that their tip sizes are skewed towards the small side so a Small tip fits like XS. Issue for me was they sounded terribly anemic at first and even returned them to Audio46 until I realized that the comply Large I usually run were significantly bigger than the "Large" size that Campfire included. Thus the poor fit completely ruined the sound. Nevertheless I had Audio46 return them back to me and have been happy with them every since. Pathetic that Campfire does a disservice to their customers like this. One of their employees is biased towards small tips and seems to think that all customers need or want small tips.

Cable is easy fix but a good IEM is what really matters and that is what CA delivers.

. Not really? You had Gold? Bass between the two sounds super close to me.



Edit: I don’t own Fathom, but had it on loan from a friend, so I can’t compare now.
