For any Andromeda reviews going forward I think it is very important to specify which version you'll be reviewing. The v1.5 Andromeda will be what I'll be referencing for this write up. (I'll go into the specifics for the telltale signs of each of the different Andro's). So, a few months ago, a friend of mine (who've already moved on with the hobby) asked me if I wanted a near mint v1 which I later found out it was a v1.5 Andro. I've had previous Andro's (v2, v3 and 2020) before and each one of them I hated and barely lasted a month with me. This...

These are not new in the market, in fact, they are close to getting, if not already discontinued. That said, I've always found these (along with the atlas) some sort of an enigma, and as such i knew i had to get a pair. When an opportunity presented itself in the form of a 50% off for a basically brand-new unit, I bought them without a second thought. Unboxing Having owned and sold a plethora of campfire's models they are nothing to write home about. The same old carton box (just bigger) riddled in a psychedelic theme. Inside that, you'll be greeted...

A bit of background: I first heard these in a meet a long time ago. At the time i was still sporting the wm1a (i have the cayin n8 now) and what i heard was nothing short of extraordinary. I did not know iems could even sound like those! (At the time i was daily-ing the empire ears zeus xiv and jh audio angie) They were airy, so airy and i knew these were the ones i want. But due to the high price tag i could only look at them with contempt knowing I'd never be able to own one. Fast forward to last year an opportunity presented itself in the form of...

*Viewing them as a $400 headphone* So, I got these from a trade (my andromeda for these) a few months ago. I got them with a perforated extremely angled pads which made things lose detail. Those pads didn't last long before it started to disintegrate. Bought some lambskin pads online and is what I will be referencing for this write up. Packaging - usual midrange Sony packaging; cardboard sleeve > cardboard box > headphones > cables > some pamphlets > cables. Nothing out of the ordinary. Build - incredibly robust free from that nothing creaks, or...

So a quick introduction about the product The product was released back in 2018 by Unique Melody during their 3d printed titanium phase as a form of revision/revitalization of the original 3DD released back in 2014-ish (very few articles can be found now a days about it so im sorry if the year is way off). But because of the lack of reviews (excluding the japanese and chinese ones) i can only find 1 review and luckily its from a very experienced and well known reviewer. The fact that crinacle released that very detailed and memed upon graph of the...

As the title suggests this wasnt my first choice but rather it became my only choice. My first choice was the Final Audio Design AKr02 but when i recieved the unit (was bought online from a local shop) i noticed it was defective, one side sounded like there was no isolation (it was their last unit). Loved its sound reminded me of the andromeda without the sibilance. Now on to the k3003, when i first listened to it the first thing that jumped to me was its soundstage it was massive and it sounded to natural but it was sibilant like ****! I didnt...
