Where they actually differ
The most decisive specs, ranked by how much they matter — before the full spec table.
| Spec | Campfire Audio - Andromeda MW10 | Moondrop - Aria 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Impedance | 12 Ω | 32 Ω |
| Sensitivity | 115 dB | 122 dB |
| Driver count | 5 | 1 |
Between the Andromeda MW10 and Aria 2, the Andromeda MW10 comes out ahead in impedance / driver count, while the Aria 2 wins on sensitivity. Overall, the Andromeda MW10 scores 66.4 and the Aria 2 scores 65.4 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (66.4 vs 65.4). The decision is not about overall quality — both clear the bar — it is about which specific trade-offs fit your use.
Pick the Andromeda MW10 if you care most about impedance / driver count. The biggest gaps in its favor are impedance, driver count. The single most decisive one: Impedance — 20.00 Ω less. 12 vs 32.
Pick the Aria 2 if you care most about sensitivity. Its strongest claims are sensitivity. The single most decisive one: Sensitivity — 6.09% more. 122 dB vs 115 dB.
Both ship with comparable detachable cable, so those specs do not separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity says both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
Which should you buy: Campfire Audio - Andromeda MW10 or Moondrop - Aria 2?
Campfire Audio - Andromeda MW10 leads the current Mars Score by 1.0 points.The more useful decision is the trade-off behind that result: compare driver count, impedance, sensitivity against the way you will actually use the product.
