I have the andromeda. Went to a store today and just saw the Io and Polaris 2. Decided to get both just for the colors. I feel like they're audiophile infinity gems.
@MrThemarty9155 жыл бұрын
Can you describe how is the sound of both?
@moltenbullet5 жыл бұрын
@@MrThemarty915 to put it simply, the first thing you notice with the polaris is the added warmth and bass kick vs the Andromeda. Certainly, it feels like I have missed bass in my Andromeda. Polaris also seems more forgiving of "bad" recordings, because it doesn't reach for the same extremes of details as the Andromeda. For Io, it has many of the same characteristics of the Andro, just "less". Especially with spaciousness, imaging, separation, and individual detail, Andro wins hands down, but only when you're paying attention - the question you need to ask yourself is if it is worth (to you) an additional $1k++ on top of the price of the Io for those extra details.

moltenbullet nice description! The IO reveals more detail than Polaris?
@m0nty05 жыл бұрын
The Io really has a nice color. CA has created an iconic and timeless design for their IEMs. The look of the new cable doesn’t disappoint either. Glad you had the chance to talk with them and give us your thoughts. Looking forward to more!

I sold mine due to the sharp inside edges and corners. Hopefully these will fit better. Looking forward to what they do with the Cascade and Lyra

The IO is pretty impressive how spacious the soundstage is. However, I know in the long run I will need more bass for most of my music genres. I'll be returning them and then buying the Polaris; no need for some of my full-sized planars anymore since I'm always on the run.

Great video. CA Cascades are my to go headphones at home. The Atlas are my go to iem's for the road. Really looking forward to the new Polaris, I think they will sound great and keep me from having to take such expensive iem's on the go.

Anybody else waiting for their new headphones they have to be working on? I mean with how successful the Cascades were. Can't imagine how a new pair would sound.

You have the Andromeda S right? Thinking of upgrading up?
@MrThemarty9155 жыл бұрын
@lachlanlikesathing Very good coverage! I would be interested to know how the new IO compares with the ibasso it01s in terms of sound signature and technicalities (soundstage, separation, detail).
@lachlanlikesathing5 жыл бұрын
Hmm. They are similar, I think the IT01S might be brighter, but I will have to hear them side by side!

any thought for IO vs XBA-Z5
@darthmandude5 жыл бұрын
Judging from the 2 ba configuration, I'm guessing the IO will be more congested than the Z5. The Z5 will have better bass hands down though given that it has Sony's signature 16mm driver.
