    CCA in ear monitors Impressions Thread

    Thank you for your detailed reply. You are correct to a degree that I own too many iems. I am actually not very disposed to buy any more. I also agree that DD's are very musical. My BLONs and UF ISSO14 get most of the ear time these days. And, as you conclude, I am already enjoying the music...

    CCA in ear monitors Impressions Thread

    Quick question - any comparisons from people who own both the C16 and CA16? I have seen a couple of references but no real comparisons. I own the C16 - it is my only CCA so far. I also own the KZ ZS10 ans ZS10 PRO. Also a bunch of older KZ's (ZS5 / ZS6, etc.) Thanks.

    URBANFUN YBF-ISS014 Impressions thread

    Well, you can say whatever you like on the internet. However, I received my Urbanfuns several weeks ago, ordered from the AliExpress UF store, and they are perfect. They appear from the deeper than Blon sub-bass to be the beryllium driver version, and the mmcx connectors are fine. I changed the...

    CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

    I still use mine when I need a mic. They are actually quite good as a headset for Zoom meetings. They have a very natural sound.

    Based on that, they probably are beryllium. Purchased from the UF store on AliExpress in early March.

    URBANFUN YBF-ISS014 Impressions thread

    I finally received my Urbanfuns yesterday from the UF store. Very nice first impressions. I am using Auvio tips on mine, although the stock tips are not bad. I will do some more comparisons with the Blons I own as well as compare them to the CCA C16 and KZ ZS10 PRO. I have no idea whether mine...

    CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

    Thank you all for the comparisons and suggestions. Slater, I may try your filter mod on the C16. I spent most of yesterday listening to the Urbanfun ISSO14, which I just received. It sounds like it is going to be a good one. I changed it to Auvio tips after listening for a bit. The stock tips...

    CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

    Hi Podster. I own the KZ ZS10, ZS10 Pro, CCA C16, Blon BL-03 and soon the UF Isso14. I keep thinking about the BA10, as I probably should have bought it instead of the original ZS10. In your opinion, would it be a sidegrade at this point compared with what I am using? I listen to a wide variety...

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    I do not see much on the CCA C16 on these forums. Any comparisons between the C16 and ZSX? I own the , ZS10, ZS10PRO and C16 and use all 3. My actual preference right now is probably the Blon BL03, but I like the C16 a lot as well. I listen to a mix of classical, progressive rock, pop, indie...

    Well, compare the sound of a Yamaha grand piano to a Bosendorfer.... Or Yamaha trumpets to the classic Bach or Monette....

    CCA in ear monitors Impressions Thread

    You can count me in on that. I own the ZS10, ZS10 PRO and CCA C16. I personally think the C16 is my favorite, at least right now, but the regular ZS10 is no slouch, and I do not hear the honky mids that some complain about. It may be ear shape, our tastes in music, source, tips, who knows...

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    As a former professional brass player, I am also one of the few to not like the timbre of the Tin T2. There is a coloration in the lower mids, you guessed it, right where the trumpets and trombones are at. However, you might try removing the screens. When I did that, they improved a lot for me...

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    For me it is sort of apples and oranges. The original ZS10 is still one of my favorite iems, even after buying the CCA C16 and ZS10 PRO. THe ZS10 has a bit looser bass, but for me, a lot of bass. Good balance for me with the ZS10. The ZS10 PRO is tighter, and instruments have a bit more oomph...

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    I have bothe the ZS5 v1 as well as the ZS10, ZS10 PRO and CCA C16. Of all of these, I still like the ZS10, but I am having a running fight between the ZS10 PRO and C16. Each time I listen to one of these two, it becomes my favorite - until I listen to the other one again - so go figure. But...
