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?

      Well in terms of resolution/timbre its a significant upgrade but vocals are even beter. Overall (but still in MY opinion) tge HD6X0 is a big step up from something like a beyer DT770. And as the original comment said, for many the HD650 is all you need.

      I’ve compared the 600 to my 6xx/650s a couple times this year. The differences to me were too small to warrant me changing anything.

      A fun way to characterize it is that in many songs, the lead takes center-stage on the 600, and are strong and wonderful!

      On the 650s though, while the melody/lead of a piece is still strong, of course, the harmony just comes alive! Jon Hopkins “The Wider Sun” is an excellent example of this: https://youtu.be/MqKVvaCN5M8?feature=shared

      So you’ll love both, the differences are tiny. For my tastes, I love the 6xx and got used to the slightly reduced treble pretty quick (about 2 weeks).
