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?
You can always find some little flaw in the sound of any headphone/IEM if you are really looking for it. In my opinion the IE600 is endgame and there is no real reason to waste time and money stressing about which more expensive IEM might sound 5% better. As good as the Airpods Pro 2 are I really don’t think they come come to the IE600, they are just good for tws and sound like $100 IEMS plus I can’t see tws ever outclassing flagship IEMS because of the cost of constantly developing better ANC and other features they will probably always be a step behind or at least cost more than similar priced IEMS
