Another BANGER added to the collection!
Compared it to my benchmark the Tea 2, and even though the Fan 2 has less drivers, it sounds more forward and energetic and spacious. This is tuned so well!
The only complaint is the cable. It's amazing and super thick and soft. Unfortunately it doesn't keep its shape when you roll it up and it's very heavy. So that's changed now lol

Getting some work done while enjoying some Bass Monsters 
Impressions:
Just received the X 2 days ago. The X is just on a whole other level of Bass Eargazm that I've never experienced. Some pro reviewers knock it for having too much bass and mudding everything else. I think they never considered trying different tips or listening for long periods of time and comparing. I immediately put wide bore tips and I couldn't be happier. MASSIVE BASS with clear mids and highs. The thing is that the mids and highs are not Shouty. They are a bit more relaxed compared to other detailed sets like the Nanna or Mest. This makes the X much more enjoyable with music like metal or EDM where sometimes the highs can be very harsh. You get to enjoy the music and details, yet not be in pain. There's 2 subwoofers handling the luscious bass, 2 BAs handling mids, and 3 BAs handling the highs... so the music is well separated and spacious.
When you first try this IEM, you are hit with a smooth wall of music that surrounds you.
The Oriolus is essentially the same signature of the X, just one degree lower in everything mentioned. Imagine everything I just said, but at about 90-95%. Even though it is a completely different configuration that includes a planar, it is essentially a less expensive little X.
The Andromeda is a whole other beast I can't even explain lol. It's a wave of music in a different way lol. Even though the Gold is 7 BAs, you would never guess by hearing the bass response. It's big with lots of rumble since 4 of those BAs handle the bass lol. But the mids and highs are about 5% more forward which makes it a bit more W shape in sound. What is strange though is that the soundstage is a little smaller than the X, but it is still spacious. The only problem with the Gold is that like all Campfire Audio, they are WAY TOO EASY TO DRIVE. On my DX320, at only 5 volume it is already too loud
