Hello everyone! If you've followed me for any period of time you'll know I'm a big fan of Campfire Audio. I've bought a number of their IEMs, including a Cascara Achromatic, Andromeda 2019, and Alien Brain. I still use those IEMs on a regular basis, though my wife has claimed the Alien Brain as her own as of late (apparently "it's so ugly its cute").  
  
I recently completed my assessment of the new Andromeda 10 and, wow, this is a fantastic IEM. It's basically the closest I've gotten to reproducing my 2-channel speaker system in IEM form. If you'd like to read my full thoughts on it, including comparisons, extra photos, unboxing, etc, you can do so here:

If you're interested in the highlights, here's a TL;DR:  
  


# The Big Picture

  
***Pros:***

* Speaker-like immersion
* Balanced sound signature with rich and clear bass
* Expressive treble with zero sharpness
* Excellent passive isolation
* Phenomenal vocal intelligibility
* TOTL layering abilities

  
***Cons:***

* Modular cable lacks affirmative locking mechanism
* USB-C termination is too loud on Android
* USB-C termination block microphone during phone calls on Android
* Minor sub-bass roll-off
* Sub-bass could use another 1–2dB for EDM

# Tech Specs

* Drivers: 10x balanced-armature
* Impedance\*:\* 8.5Ω @ 1kHz
* Sensitivity\*:\* 94db @ 1 kHz: 12.10 mVrms
* Cable: 0.78mm 2-pin w/modular termination (3.5mm, 4.4mm, USB-C)

# Sound

  
The Andromeda 10’s sound signature is warm and comfortable, with a dash of upper-treble sparkle. Its sub-bass is well-extended, rolling into a slightly elevated mid-bass. The Andromeda 10’s lower-mids are blended nicely into its sub-bass, carrying a healthy dose of warmth. The upper-mids sit above the lower-mids, but don’t ever over-step, ensuring a cohesive, though distinct, vocal and instrumental space. Above the Andromeda 10’s upper-mids sits its expressive and precise treble. The Andromeda 10 expertly-balances a medium-serving of brightness with comfort while preserving the carefully-curated “vibe” of its predecessors. Its upper-treble features a few key lifts and peaks to bring out a sense of sparkle and air. Simply put, the Andromeda 10 sounds like a good pair of HiFi speakers: rich, quick, and detailed.

# Conclusion

  
The Andromeda lineup has never been about neutrality. It’s never been about cost-efficiency. It’s never been about stage monitoring. The Andromeda has always represented the apex of Campfire Audio’s philosophy: that audio should be warm, welcoming, and something worth remembering. As such, I think the Andromeda 10 earns its keep as the new Campfire Audio brand ambassador. Combining quintessential Campfire Audio house-sound, truly impressive performance, and luxurious materials, the Andromeda 10 is set to deliver a special experience. And at these prices, that’s what you’re paying for: the experience.

# Who This is For

* Audiophiles looking for a true upgrade from older Andromeda models (2019, 2020)
* Listeners looking for smooth, warm, TOTL sound
* Buyers that want an IEM that simulates speaker-like tone
* Those with medium-to-large ears

# Who This isn’t For

* Bassheads
* Those that want cool, bright sound
* Buyers interested in price-to-performance
* Listeners with small ears

  
As always, happy listening!
