So after Tin t2 and hd599 I went ahead and bought Campfire Andromeda 2020 and Senheiser IE600 and sort of skipped the whole mid fi stage.

I really like both of these but it seems from crinacle and everyone who reviews them the Airpods pro 2 and Samsung buds pro 2 both come pretty close and even do better in some aspects than these 2 I have.

Now I’m not rich or anything but music meant a lot to me last few years so I just went ahead and bought a couple of near endgame stuff knowing id end there eventually. I still wonder if I wasted a whole lot money for no reason.

I really like both the iems I have but they’re obviously not without flaws, from thin bass on Andro to slightly sharp treble that needs to be eqd on ie600 and it’s terrible cable. Maybe by next generation of products tws would start outclassing flagship iems.

As an aside, what’s your favourite albums on Andros or ie600?

    Andro 2020 kind of underperforms for its price imo…I don’t think it’s a great representation of some of the banger IEMs you can get around the 1k mark.

    I do think IE600 is pretty good, especially for how cheap if often sales for.

      I got a bit cheaper at 700. Ier m9 is not available and that was really the only comparison without compromising the fit and comfort. Maybe dunu sa6 but people say it’s less resolving

      Only if it’s treble and presentation compete at the high end that’s enough for me in a way because I have ie600 now for bassy music. What do you think?

        They do seem like they are different enough and complement each other pretty well(I have both as well). And sorry if it came across like I was bashing your Andromeda, I just kind of got the impression you were questioning the value of these expensive IEMs based on not being wowed, but re-reading your post it seems I was off-base. Sorry.
