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 went down the same route. I wanted planars so I got the Sundara, I didn't like them so I sold them and got the Arya Stealth. It was a great decision (except the fact that they had a massive price drop months after I bought mine). I really like the Arya and never felt the need to upgrade from them, they sound as technical as they get. The same thing happened with closed backs, I had the DT770 and wanted something better, I considered the AKG K371, the Meze 99 Neo, and the Focal Elegia, but went straight to Drop AEON Closed X as endgame closed backs for me.
The only fomo I have is Focal headphones and their bass response, I'm wondering if the Elegia or Celestee would have been better than the AEON Closed X. I want to try Focal headphones.
how do the aeons compare to the 770s?
