Nice cable! I am using a Norne Audio Therium 4 wire, with my Lyra II, and that is a killer pairing as well.For medium low level listening the Lyra II is my first choice. Steady wins the race. Always able to handle any genre. My first custom, Fibae Black, is quite nice so far but I'm still trying to figure them out in comparison with Lyra II. For a BA driver, Fibae Black does well at sounding like a dynamic while keeping a well balanced sound. However, Lyra II with Ares II 8-wire extends better in both directions to my ears.

I want to get the Polaris to pair with the BT20s true-wireless system.
Anybody have any thoughts on this in terms of fit and sound?

Nothing wrong with that combo! The Polaris 2 is a very dynamic IEM that has plenty of bass and treble, a more "fun sound" so to speak. Speaking of that, I have a brand new pair of Polaris 2 for sale inc. shipping!!
I have a different opinion. Polaris Mk2 is the funniest earphone ever owned. Long gone IMR R1 Zenith, A&K Billie Jean, not to mention low quality chi-fi boom boxes.Not even in the same league! The new polaris is a boomy mess with bass that bleeds into the mids and treble that borders on harsh and at times uncomfortable. The Hyla TE-5B is none of those.
I have a feeling, when I get my pair, I am going to be in same boat as you.I have a different opinion. Polaris Mk2 is the funniest earphone ever owned. Long gone IMR R1 Zenith, A&K Billie Jean, not to mention low quality chi-fi boom boxes.
I like them. They put sound just into my ears (and face), they forgiving bad engineering in studio, they simply play. Just changed the stock Litz cable to Forza Audio Works IEM Copper Series Mk2.

Question, does anyone have fitting issues with these? Or they are actually easy to fit?
I have some Fiio FA1 and they are pushing a bit into some cartilage of my ears he he.
I love the looks of the Polaris, and they seem to be a fun to listen and not too harsh and fatiguing iem... I'm between these and the Chi-Fi Fearless Audio S8 Freedom that is highly regarded almost everywhere...

Like the Andromeda they are light and fit easily. Campfire revised the shape for more comfort on the revisited Andro and Polaris. And I have a new pair available for sale if interested!

I have a 2 month old set of Polaris 2 for sale. $275. Pm me if interested.
How did the Forza Copper cable effect the SQ? I have the Forza Hybrid cable with other IEMs.I very much like Matt at Forza and his products.Thanks!I like them. They put sound just into my ears (and face), they forgiving bad engineering in studio, they simply play. Just changed the stock Litz cable to Forza Audio Works IEM Copper Series Mk2.
Great review! My feeling is that the Polaris2 has received unfair criticism.They need to be burnt in for 200 hours minimum,and then they really come into focus.I added a Forza Hybrid cable,everything tightened up with extra detail and an insane soundstage.Oddly enough,I find that Senn. foam tips from some IE80s I had work really well.They're also extremely comfortable,oh,and I really like the blue! Great value too!

Anyone else tried the Polaris II with an AK Kann? If it sounds as good as it looks....
