Each also have a small two pocket bag that prevents the earpieces from rubbing together during storage to prevent scratches.

To go a bit further on with the explanation, Andromeda MW10 is created to celebrate the 10th year of MixWave’s establishment. Even if YOU don’t believe a reviewer may give a better review due to getting a free item, other people might think he might. Sure not, since Andromeda 2020 has gone through meaningful revamps inside out which was for the good. The pronounced body of each note thanks to the Andromeda’s moderate pinna gain goes a long way towards allowing instruments to anchor and be well defined in space. This is a 3d printed chamber that positions the balanced armatures and provides the sound bores in a single chassis rather than individual sound bores and glue.Even back when I first got into IEMs 4 years ago, the Andromeda was a name that kept appearing over and over again whenever I entertained the idea of how I would upgrade to hi-fi. In short, Ara produces a sound that feels like a “fog-peeled-off” version of the Andromeda with enforced clarity and airiness. About Audio is dedicated to portable audio content – ranging from reviews, impressions, news, photographs, and any other audio-related articles that I would like to share. The Andromeda is ultimately still an IEM and suffers from the same limitations when it comes to staging. For low level noise like in a library or office, you likely won’t hear anything once music is playing.

In the past, where I’ve describe the OG as a downward sloping U shape, the MW10 comes across a strong W shape without the downward slope. The majority of non-audio impressions, as well as the specs, will be the same as the original Andromeda review we have covered already. Most notably, the Fibae 7 has a more neutral and linear lower-treble so articulation is more accurate. Similarly, the slightly warmer Shanling M2X was no issue, in fact, I slightly preferred the bass voicing as the slight reduction in sub-bass presence relative to the THX desktop amp gave the mid-bass more room to breathe.You won’t need to punch up the volume of your iPhone or player very high to find a comfortable listening level. Currently, they are nearly useless for evaluating treble, compared to known references, because of the squiggly lines caused by the dummy heads. The mids are mostly the same like the OG Andro: More upfront than CA other higher end IEMs with a dip in the lower mids where the treble starts to kick up in the upper mids. I ended up selling it to fund another purchase because ultimately it seemed a lot more similar to my Solaris SE than the 2020 Andromeda had when I'd owned that one a few months prior. With a fully re-engineered housing, internal geometry, and updated drivers across the board, Andromeda ES is a special iteration of Andromeda that stands alone.

In-line with its W-shaped signature, the Andromeda 2020 retains the sparkly and energetic presentation of its predecessor. Due to these factors, my measurements may not accurately reflect the earphone or measurements taken by others. Much of this can be attributed to the forward lower-treble that redeems strong vocal clarity and puts impetus on articulation for a presentation that still lies on the revealing side overall. However, I can see where the MW10 is going to suck quick on brighter/neutralist setups or amps with a lower output z.Resolution on the Dusk is on par with the Andromeda except for the treble where the Andromeda maintains it treble presence while the Dusk takes a step back. Both extend very well, the Solstice has a larger soundstage, both depth and width while the Andro’s imaging is slightly more holographic.
