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?

    I have little-to-no FOMO. I’m happy with my EQ’d 6XX. I know there are objectively better headphones, and I’m sure that there are headphones that would be subjectively better for me. But they sound fantastic. If I wanted to spend a grand auditioning similar headphones or springing for the next tier, I’d rather get a new fork for my mountain bike instead.
