Texturing is also good with grungy notes like those on The Prodigy's “Roadblox” being adequately replicated, though you will find some competitors like the Dunu Zen providing more growl. It's oddly articulate given the bass quantity on offer, both in mid- and sub-bass regions. Bass is not the quickest leaving deep notes to rumble endlessly, yet individual bass notes don't blend or get lost to provide a one-note sound. I can imagine that pairing the Vega with a wearable haptic bass vest like the SubPac or Woojer would be a pretty sick, one-of-a-kind experience. On a seriously bassy track like “eXplosion” by Black Eyed Peas & Anitta, the Vega's mega-low end provides a club-like experience. That's the main focus, and Campfire Audio went all in with this sound which provides a somewhat unique experience in a high end product. The Vega 2020 is a bass cannon through and through.

Generally I find foam tips to soften treble and boost bass, but in this instance Campfire's own Mushroom tips sounded more akin to the included wide bore silicones. Lastly, if you reallllllly want to lean into that low end, Sony Hybrids kick things up another notch while offering a very comfortable fit. The same could be said for CP100s which provide a similar experience to the included Final Audio tips, but again, with a deeper fit. I like the sound, but I already have enough issues with the long nozzles so they weren't an ideal fit for me.

Heading into third party alternatives, the Spinfit CP145 function similarly to the stock wide bore tips, but with a deeper insertion. First is the included wide bore tips which do a good job of reducing the mid-bass focus to let other areas shine. That said, should you want to bring up the mids and treble you have options. They also emphasize it's party piece, that massive low end, thanks to the smaller bore. Tips: The included Final Type E tips are a great match with the Vega providing a good fit. I have been using the Vega 2020 extensively over the last few months and while I understand this isn't going to be an earphone for everyone, have come to appreciate the gung-ho, bass forward tune on hand. Ceramic isn't a new material for the brand as 2015's Lyra was the first earphone to utilize a fully ceramic shell. Containing this is an all-new ceramic housing.

Inside the original Vega's 8.5mm dynamic driver has been swapped out for a 10mm amorphous, diamond-like carbon coated unit. The 2020 model completely revamps the Vega with a new housing material and updated driver. The 2020 Vega we're checking out today is the second iteration of the original Vega, originally released in 2016. The Andromeda in particular has become a staple recommendation to audiophiles looking to step up into the realm of TOTL (top-of-the-line) gear thanks to a balanced and technically proficient yet entertaining sound. Since then their lineup has been expanded and refined with popular releases like the Andromeda and Atlas. It all started with the Jupiter, Orion, and Lyra. Hailing from Portland, Oregon where their products are designed and hand-assembled, Campfire Audio has been bringing high end in-ear-monitors to the public since 2015. Today we're checking out one of Campfire Audio's final releases of 2020, the Vega.
