Andromeda 2020
The Clear Choice
The Campfire Audio Andromeda 2020 is an exciting new chapter for one of our most beloved earphones. Updating an earphone as beloved as Andromeda is not a task we take lightly. But give it a listen, and you’ll be glad we did.
Our new Solid-Body design, first explored in our custom fit products, is now enhancing our new Universal Fit line. This approach brings a new level of control to our acoustic design. You’ll enjoy a refined musical presentation, with clarity and resolution that can’t be missed.

Inside Magic
Solid-Body interior delivers appreciable Sonic Improvements
While looking very much like previous versions of Andromeda, maintaining its classic angular silhouette and emerald-green finish, Andromeda 2020 is very different on the inside.
A single printed body now houses all of Andromeda 2020’s internal components. The interior and exterior spaces and the relationships between them are precisely sculpted to improve sonic performance. The bonus of having the engineering doing the heavy lifting is fewer moving parts, and fewer moving parts mean reliable reference performance for the life of the earphone.

The Case for Cork
Environmentally Friendly Sustainable Material
Our exciting new premium cork protective zipper case is an environmentally friendly update. Sustainably harvested cork surrounds a substantial and protective rubber barrier that ensures that your earphones will remain safe while in transit. The interior is a thick faux wool lining that preserves the anodized finish of your earphones. Each case is made in Portugal by a small team of skilled craftspeople that share our commitment to quality.
The cork used for the cases is the outer bark of the Cork Oak Tree (Cork Suberus L), and its extraction is harmless to the tree. The harvest occurs every nine years during the expectable lifetime of the tree (around 150 years). Harvesting the cork of the tree is fundamental for the sustainability of the cork oak forests. A naturally durable material that feels good to hold in your hand.

Tuned Acoustic Expansion Chamber
Our tuned acoustic expansion chamber technology allows us to deliver extended high frequencies without sibilance or fatigue. We optimize our driver performance by adjusting the volume of space available in front of the driver. This is superior to the typical “Tube+Dampener” system because it provides a direct passage from the driver to your ear, which results in unsurpassed clarity and extension.
Solid Body Design
Patent Pending from Campfire Audio
Our new solid body design provides optimized acoustic performance by incorporating the tuning chambers of the earphone directly into the final earphone print.
3D Printed Interior
Carefully Designed for Optimum Sonic Performance
Close attention to detail is critical to delivering you a superior musical experience from our earphones. Andromeda features an acoustically optimized interior model that allows each driver to deliver the very best sound quality. When heard together, the drivers offer a seamless musical experience as a result of this process.

It’s indeed the best iem, even better than some of my over ear headphones. The price is hard to swallow (all my other gears are below $500), but it definitely meet my expectations.

The best earphones that I have ever heard; although initially with the pre-installed foam tips, I found them to be somewhat bright and a little fatiguing. Once I attached the supplied silicon tips, the sound became most perfect, balanced and endlessly enjoyable. Absolutely awesome with my Cowon Plenue L; utter bliss.

It is difficult to make a decision for in-ear monitors that have a high price like Andromeda’s. But despite the initial fear, I don’t regret it. The truth is that they sound spectacular. I’m very happy with the purchase. Highly recommended.

I have been very pleased with the sound so far compared to the $500 IEMs I already had. The Andromeda 2020 brings a bigger soundstage and a aplashiness I was missing with cymbals. It can sort out the instruments in a busy rock song and provide a nice clear bass to jazz quartets. Because of its sensitivity I am having a problem with it being too loud when paired with my iPod + Dragonfly Cobalt. While not the headphone’s fault, I need to explore other hardware that allows me better volume control.

It hard to find the right ear tips at the beginning, but after that whenever I listen to the music with this pair of Andromeda, I always in my own heaven

After owning Jupiter then Polaris 2 I finally bought the Andromeda. Glad I made the purchase! I’ve finally found the sound I was craving for. Nicely Done!

Hi.
Just auditioned the Andromedas for the first time.
First: On my Ayre CODEX DAC. Mids and Trebles are too bright. Bass tight but drowned out by the mids and highs. Not a good match of equipment.
Next: Played hi res music from my ALAC files on iPhone 12, through the simple Apple lightning to 3.5 adaptor… much better balanced presentation. The staging was good, but no better than my Audio Technica ATH Mx50 headphones. Waiting for my Pilot DAC to arrive and fingers crossed for better staging, as expected.
But hold on…. !!!! Played my Fender Strat Acoustasonic guitar through a $45 headphone amp AND WOW! In case you didn’t know, the Acoustasonic has 10 different guitar profiles programmed into its circuitry, 7 different wood types/shapes, acoustic guitar models and 3 electric guitar models…. AND for the first time ever, all 10 models sounded DISTINCTLY different… like I was actually playing 10 different guitars.
The Andromeda IEMs are a perfect match for the Fender Acoustasonic guitar.
I am keeping them for this reason alone.
Can’t wait for the Pilot DAC to arrive to see if I get more from the Andromedas in the music playback realm.
Thanks
Howard

Довольно необычные наушники , со своим уникальным звуком и почерком. Вполне дотягивают до high-end уровня по своим звуковым параметрам . Самый жирный плюс конечно за высокие частоты, они влюбляют интригуют с первого же прослушивания ,протяженность, воздушность, 3d сцена, детальность все на эталонном уровне. Но есть одно но, эти уши вообще не годятся для профессионального использования и мониторинга, звучание красивое, но не натуральное, сцена раздута бывает уж слишком в некоторых треках, в других на электронных симплах уж очень мощный бас отклик и амплитуда нч. Да да в арматурных наушниках и это не шутка. Я не знаю как они это сделали ,но по массе и характеру низких частот это на процентов 70 динамический звук. Кто ищет сухие быстрые сверх детальные НЧ, чисто арматурные аудиофильские наушники -это не ваш выбор. Да детали есть их много но они как бы отведены на задний план , чтобы услышать гитарную партию, и задние планы приходится все таки вслушиваться порой тщательно очень. Вокал уж очень вытянут на передний план, но отыгрывают отлично, хотя мне лично телесности и деталей на среднечастотном диапазоне где то не хватало. Но тут вопрос может быть то с чего вы их будете слушать. Я прослушивал с fiio m11 pro может быть не хватает немного контроля на высоких низких частотах, и поэтому серединка гуляет иногда, еще в портативном использовании был замечен фоновый треск и шум , не знаю наушники это или плеер , или провод виноват но при домашнем прослушивании в принципе шум исчезает. Чувствительность все таки осталось очень высока, так покупка шнурка за 300$ не выглядит уже такой абсурдной идеей, комплектный явно перетирается, немного фонит и потенциал этих ушей полностью не раскроет. Ну и вопросы по краске, я на 100 процентов уверен что она облезет и это в принципе никак не избежать, надеюсь следующая андромеда будет в своем оригинальном металлическом цвете.
из того из +
восхитительное качество ВЧ
добротная сборка (кроме краски)
самые меломанские вовлекающие арматурные наушники из того что приходилось слышать, но тут для кого будет плюсом ,а для других жирным минусом
–
как показалось слабоватый комплектный кабель
высокая чувствительность
есть слышимые пики в частотной характеристики , особенно подъем на басу, верхней середине
не совсем натуральное звучание
требуют высококлассного источника звука

One word: AMAZING. Thank you for bringing this amazing IEM to us.

Great sound and great fit, thought about returning my Focal Clear MG headphones and just using Andromeda.

As a lover of symphonic music, rhythmic music, electronic music, I was looking for headphones in the ears with the quality of reproduction of the best headphones and I found the Andromeda 2020 which makes me extremely happy.

Fantastic IEM. I listen to mostly EDM, Alternative Rock, and IDM and it completely rocks out with great clarity, tuning, imaging, and layering. I am an Electronic Music artist and i’ll say that it makes for much more enjoyable producing because of hearing more and whilst hearing more, feeling more. I give the Andromeda 2020’s a 5+ star. I’ll definitely be a fan for life.

I purchased the CA Andromeda 2020 to replace a 20 year old pair of Etymotic ER-4 IEMs, as well as a pair of current AirPod Pros that I had won in a raffle.
The AirPod Pros were uncomfortable in my ear concha with their full-contact design. They also never really felt secure in my ears.
The Etymotic were my go-to for many years as they were comfortably and had great sound isolation – perfect for flights. But, given their age and the movement of technology, and the fact that they were relatively insensitive, I took a flyer on the CAs.
The Andromeda 2020 is a great upgrade in sound quality (especially bass) over the Etymotic and was very comfortable in addition.

Excellent balanced sound; great for vocals and electronic music due to their superb mids and highs reproduction, really phenomenal. I managed to push the mid highs even further by using the Pure Silver Litz Cable. They are also surprisingly comfort; make sure though you use the right tip, I had to go a size larger than I would normally use.

Beautiful IEM, sparkling clear highs, forward mids with rich, detailed female and male vocals, and tight, fast, controlled bass. The bass is a bit less than I would prefer, however this IEM can and will output exactly what the track calls for! Put on a track with a heavier bass line and it will give you heavier bass.
Using this IEM with the SXC 8 cable. I’d say that to get the full potential out if these, an upgraded cable is a MUST! Lower resistance = more bass and less sibilance. Remember, double the conductors = 1/4 the resistance! So upgrading to the Super Litz is a must, the SXC 8, with double the conductors of the Super Litz again is even better (1/16 resistance of original cable), very noticeable improvement in sound quality.
This IEM is also very responsive to EQ. You can add a few dB of bass or sub bass and it will respond! Same with any other frequency, you can tune this IEM from its original “reference” sound to one you prefer if you’re not into the original one.
A true gem, if you can grab one then I urge you to do so, you won’t be disappointed!
