looking forward for final audio e2000 and e3000
Wish they're were more Tier A to B-B+ with cheaper prices Need more ER4XR and GR07!
Campfire Comet on stock cable would be a tier B or B+ to me at 199 USD price
wow... that good, huh? I just may have to pick up a pair. I love CA's TEAC tech. I can't use silicone on all but one IEM Ive ever tried because treble death ensues. But for some reason, I can use just about any silicone tip in my collection on CA Jupiter and all is fine. Will you be posting a review of the comet with comparisons any time soon?
To my ears, it's like a mini Andromeda: smaller soundstage, less bass and treble extension and less lower mid definition making it a very slight V-shape. Even so, tonality is great for a single BA IEM IMO. I cannot describe sound as good as other people so I never drop any reviews on any of my IEMs. I would say they don't do anything bad, but they don't have anything special like those B+ A and S class IEMs that I've heard. A solid B or maybe Crinacles might put a B- to it, but I don't think he'll lower it to C
Have you compare it to the ER4XR?
I actually have both. They're not comparable imo. ER4XR is tuned for neutrality (pure vocals, fast decay, good PRaT, slightly brighter treble, instrumental separation) whereas the Comets are tuned for fun (slight v-shape but overall very balanced, slightly recessed vocals, better sub-bass, wider soundstage). If I had to compare:
ER4XR - better for female vocals, folk, streaming
Comets - better for pop and EDM
I'd say they complement each other. They don't compete with each other. It's great to have both.
thank you do you happens by any chance to have auditioned the King Pro too? if yes, are the comets and the king pro sound similar?
