To me Andromeda is one of the best sounding iems on the market. Vega is different beast, heard other TOTL iems as well - Andromeda is a sweet spot IMHO.
Still waiting for my COmets - would be very surprised if they sound similar. Had Orions before- mids are great, the rest is far behind

Orion? You mean Campfire’s worst-sounding IEM?

You must have mixed those with Nova

Ah yes you're right!! Nova is very famous for sounding so awful and costing so much

Comets update:

Liking them more as I listen to them. Feels like I'm listening to music in a cave. Lots of reverberation.

The bass is so nice with the stock foam tips.

To me the "cave" effect is not a good thing, this has been already reported few times here... Somehow misleading a bit.

It's no ER4 in terms of accuracy but I like it. It's something unique to listen to in the collection.

The Orion has long been one of my favorite IEM's for tonal accuracy and timbre. It has remained while my Vega, Andromeda, Jupiter, Lyra, Lyra II and Nova have departed. Maybe I just have a tin ear!

Agreed. Personally think Andro is better than the Fourte, but a hair behind the U18t. Impressive feat for 1/3 the price.

That's good! If you got chance please check out if you like comet or orion! I don't have orion unfortunately...

Don’t post that on the 64-Audio thread or even Finneck’s TOTL IEM shootout thread they’ll beat you down for it hehehe

Yes. I experienced Andromeda with very short time and every time I hear them I get back with no excitement, especially knowing they cost more than a hd800. More of a can guy.

FWIW I agree that they aren't "exciting." They do a lot of things well but aren't the best at anything. The hype train makes people feel like they're obligated to like them & while I enjoyed the listen at AXPONA I knew they weren't worth the price tag. Not with the Atlas at the same table.

I think it's good, different people have different tastes!

I did spend quite a bit of time at Axpona listening to the Comet as well as the Atlas. When I went, I was prepared to bring the Comets home but while I liked them, I still think for the type of music I most enjoy that I prefer the sound as well as the fit of the Orion, hence I came home empty-handed!. Still, considering the price, the Comet makes an excellent all-arounder.
