1 Prophile 8
2 Oriolus MKii
3 Earsonics ES5 / Andromeda
4 AK T8ie MKii / Xelento ( prefer T8ie)

What about the oriolus do you prefer over the t8ie?

The mids got greater detail and resolution and vocals are more upfront and clear. I don't love the bass of the Oriolus but I have to say it is greatly integrated in the sound signature. Overall the most coherent in ear I've heard to date just losing in technicalities and soundstage to the PP8.

Nice thanks still need to audition the oriolus won't be until I can go to Japan though.

where would you range the andromeda regarding soundstage between those three, the pp8, oriolus and andromeda?

Two things:
1) that's high praises for the new Campfire, curious in reading your impressions on the SQ.

2) The Pinnacle P1 at the bottom lol. I too wasn't impressed, amped and all, a bit hollow. Highs were detailed...

The Campfire Audio gives me this sound I don’t hear in the other earphones, even the Bravado or Legend X. It has a weird 3D cave bouncing sound which sound like small speakers which I really like. After I got my Bravado’s, I found myself rarely touching my IT01 or GR07, but I sometimes grab the Comets if I want something different.

I also find the fit, isolation and build quality really good. The sound is nice and balanced with slightly recessed male vocals and the bass packs a nice punch for a BA. It’s also non-fatiguing and you can listen to hours with it.
