Big sounding, bassy warm IEM

I just read in your profile that you already have all this stuff:

IEMs
DUNU DK 2001, Shuoer Tape, Tin P1, BQEYZ Spring 1, BLON BL-03, Tin T3, Oriolus Finschi, JVC HA-FW01, JVC HA-FX850, BGVP DM6

Then my advice is really to save your money and actually buy something really high-endish.
Because it is not really worth trying something permanently in these cheap categories.

Typically something higher end might actually be less forgiving with poor quality recordings tbh. Some will, but some might be less forgiving

I do agree though on saving for something a bit higher end

Ok, spent some time with the Polaris V2 and I’m actually looking to send them back. The bass is just too elevated (and I love bassy sound signatures) and the mids are non existent.

It really is a shame as I love Campfire Audio IEMs (except the IO, those are awful). If anybody is looking to buy these, I highly recommend you do your homework before buying.

Lol, I mean they are designed to be very v shaped, very impressive v shape in my mind, but I would agree it’s somewhat excessive lol

Very is an understatement. These are like DT770 32 ohm V shaped

I think the campfire atlas has similar bass performance but not as v shaped, but both are bass monsters

Haven’t heard the atlas, but want to. The Atlas, Solstice and Andromeda are the only ones that I haven’t heard. I’m still kicking myself for selling the Lyra II.

I really like the Solaris but I do think it’s a bit overpriced. Have you tried a ier-z1r? It might be a signature you would enjoy

I haven’t, but I will start researching those. My weirdo cousin still won’t shut up raving about his Jomo Haka IEMs, so I want to check those out as well.

The jomo iems are up there but pretty sweet imo. If you like something warmer, some of the JH Audio iems would be up your alley like the Roxanne or something

I would like to move to that level of iem but I am just so satisfied with what I have already that I’m not that interested

Chi-fi are on this big time… little :pound: ?

I liked the Billie Jean that I tested. Hmmm. …

:wink: My Words.
I think the CA Andromeda S are a good choice.

WOW they are significantly cheaper in the USA than in Germany. The cost here converted to about $2300. Seen it this way, they are comparable to the CA Solaris

I would personally take the sonys for sure but there is that price increase. In the us you can find them for about 1.5k used or like 1.7k new

well this escalated quickly … so would you rec a Tia Fourte?

Personally no lol, I don’t really remember enjoying that for the price

I listened to them and I was thrilled, but there is a difference of $600 compared to the Solaris if I bought them here in Germany and the difference in sound quality is not so significant, to pay the extra fee.

What was driving them?

I tried them on a Hugo 2 and also a high end A&K dap

I actually liked the tia trio and a12 more
