Yeah, found the OG to be brighter due to the lower treble peak. I tried the Emerald Sea and quite liked it — it’s a warm IEM and has less treble, but it still has that reminiscent sound. It has better impact on the bass but still found it lacking on overall dynamics. However, that relaxing sound is what you should be after from an Andromeda.
Try EQing if something bothers you too much or try other sources, like with diff output impedance. Andros has that special sound that I can’t hear from other IEMs. The only thing that matters is if you enjoy them. The resolution of the Andros is already top tier, you won’t be missing much. It wouldn’t be good for those looking for an aggressive sound though.
