I had these as part of the Australian tour. My only IEM is the ThieAudio Prestige Ltd. I only tried the Eros S II and Ares S II. I knew the Cadmus would not be a good match with the Prestige so skipped it.

Ergonomics-wise, these are excellent. I have an Eros 1st Anniversary cable and the new series is around 30% thinner, as well as being lighter and more flexible. The new splitters are a welcome improvement from the ones EA had been using.

Sound-wise, I expected to really like the Eros S II and had been thinking of getting one before this. But I found it brighter than the previous Eros S I have and too bright to go with the Prestige for my taste, YMMV of course. The Ares S was a better match and would be my choice for this pairing. I do love the matte finish on the new Eros, but it should be black like the one they shipped with the Pilgrim Noir!!

In terms of technical performance… there’s very little between them, I would think synergy would be more important. I also have a liquid links venom, that is significantly better than all of these, as it should be at three times the price.

These EA cables are really nice to use and give you a nice upgrade from most stock cables. I haven’t tried enough cables to comment on the value or comparisons.

Thanks to @Damz87 as always for setting up these tours.

The upcoming dark horse IEM Flipears Legion with the Effect Audio Ares S II - both eye-catching and awe-inspiring I'd say. Can't wait to get my hands on the retail version.

The Bone Conductor really enhances the feedback and bass response, at the same time not muddying or affecting the other frequencies. Mids sound natural, treble is inoffensive, just right (I myself would love more shimmer and crispness) while the stage really goes wide and deep. Great for rock and fast-pqced genres.

EFFECT AUDIO | Ares S II x Cadmus II (AxC)

With the success of the Signature Series II, we are proud to announce the release of Ares S II x Cadmus II (AxC). This masterpiece blends 4 wires of the Ares S II with 4 wires of the Cadmus II, uniting the distinctive strengths of two iconic cables.

The 2023 Christmas release of the Ares x Cadmus cable received resounding praise, sparking eager anticipation for a new iteration. In response to this demand, we are proud to unveil the AXC, Ares S II x Cadmus II cable. Thoughtfully designed with accessibility and practicality in mind, this cable combines exceptional performance with an affordable price point. It is the perfect fuss-free, grab-and-go option—offering EFFECT AUDIO's renowned quality and sound signature with confidence and ease, all without second-guessing its value or excellence.

Power X Clarity

The Ares S II unleashes #POWER with its warm, lush mids and impactful delivery, while the Cadmus II embodies #CLARITY with its precise treble and tighter bass. Together, they form a perfect synergy, creating unmatched #DYNAMICS —a listening experience that masterfully balances deeply resonant bass, richly textured mids, and extended, sparkling highs.

Y-Split Design

The Y-split design of the AxC is a sophisticated evolution, drawing inspiration from the Signature Series II—most notably the Eros S II. It seamlessly blends the warm copper flakes of the Ares S II with the refined silver speckles of the Cadmus II, forming a visually striking expression of duality and harmony. This modern and elegant aesthetic mirrors the cable’s sound signature—a fusion of power and clarity.


Eros S II In comparison to Ares II X Cadmus II

The Eros S II excels in #MUSICALITY, drawing out the soul and emotional essence of your music with its smooth, immersive presentation. In contrast, the AXC focuses on #DYNAMICS, emphasizing energy and contrast to deliver impactful lows, crisp highs, and heightened detail.

When it comes to genres, #MUSICALITY, thrives in jazz, classical, blues, and acoustic/folk, where its warmth and depth enhance the nuances of melodies and instruments, connecting the listener to the story within the music.

Meanwhile, #DYNAMICS shine in rock, EDM, hip-hop, and metal, where the AxC’s energy and precision amplify the intensity of bass drops, guitar riffs, and rapid beats.

Built on our foundation of 8000 Signature Series I cables


The Signature Series II builds upon the remarkable foundation of the Signature Series I, a collection that represents the legacy of our bestselling lineup, with over 8,000 cables sold worldwide. Inspired by this success, we sought to refine and innovate, culminating in the creation of the Signature Series II.

At its pinnacle stands the AxC—a fusion of the finest attributes of two iconic cables, the Ares S II and Cadmus II. This bespoke design is a testament to EFFECT AUDIO's unwavering commitment to innovation and craftsmanship, delivering an audio experience that redefines excellence.

MSRP: USD$269

Just Tried Apostle and AxC cable

Apostle is fantastic IEM: controlled and accurate bass. Didn’t feel anything lacking in mids or treble at least for the time I tested. However the star of the show is Vocals. Listening to Billie Bossa Nova. The mid bass thump to billie’s vocals were fantastic. Definitely needs attention.
