    Reply to review by 'KipNix' on item 'CCA NRA'

    Brionced is the most accurate review of the CCA NRA. Bass and Mids are well-done; in fact, out of the box, bassheads and EDM fans will love these. I like neutral so I brought down the 10 to 500 Hz by 5, which made it fun for all genres. Wide soundstage, great micro-detail, and KZ/CCA have made a...

    I have to echo Redcarmoose's review: why spend more, indeed! If you're getting the maximum amount of enjoyment from your IEMs, the price doesn't matter. Think of it this way. If you know American football, you know there are times when your team is on the 10 yard line and goal to go. KZ AS16...

    Compare and contrast using reviews in here, to the sister company with all-BA: KZ AS16 Pro.

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

    I'm going to wait for comparisons to the KZ AS16 Pro and take it from there for which one I want, but I'm leaning towards Pro right now because I'm an all-BA guy. Ali 11.11 sale is coming up. I'm getting the impression KZ made these to appeal to the "BA bass is too low" crowd.

    I think they make AutoEQ for those shouty WIFE IEMs. Or someone should make it. Please.

    That's very similar to my ZS3 (now discontinued). They went to the Great Soundstage In The Sky after a few years. I loved the fit where you couldn't tell you had them on. They were replaced by EDX and Peace EQ.

    I know this is years later and the T2 might even be discontinued but I want to give a heads up. I love the T2 and it's neutral sound, especially after tweaking the FR to the Harman Curve with the Peace app. Now they sound a lot better, but there's one big problem. The microphonics are HORRIBLE...

    It's hard to get an all - BA IEM for $20, and I've yet to find any "recessed" mids. Research and learn about the differences of Balanced Armature (BA) and Dynamic Driver (DD). Then you have to decide which music genre you prefer. Read through the reviews here, for the suggested music genre...

    I ran across this thread and theory and found it fascinating. It's about soundstage depth by studying FR graphs. With all the KZ models out there, I'm wondering, fellow KZ bros: - what do you think of this theory? - have you found any KZ models proving this theory...

    It's very informative to read a review of an all-BA set from someone who knows their drivers. Thanks!

    You just answered my question about customs. I've always wondered if it's worth the high prices. I think the state of the technology has caught up to them. The other day I listened to my old ED9. In just a few seconds I realized how far KZ has progressed.

    My sentiments, exactly, PhonoPhi. I learned 2 things since buying the Master Dynamic ME05. (You learn something from every experience.) -Avoid the online magazine hype train. I have my suspicions about how the company was able to get only positive reviews from this product. -Marvel at the...

    I pulled the tr!gger for the Master Dynamic ME05. Thanks for the tip, mikey1964. You really can't go wrong for that price. Experts, how come we don't see flat cables on IEMs anymore? Tangles? Breaks? Twists too much?

    inseconds99, I'm seeing it's offered by Shenzhenaudio on their site for $520, as I write this. It shows a 2-year warranty, too. Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Shenzhenaudio or anybody else except my wife and kids.

    Check out the KZ AS06, 3 BA each side. Lots of detail and wide soundstage. They're my "dirty little secret" because they're my daily, with an upgraded cable, and hardly anybody talks about them. I use them with progressive rock so they should work well for your classical genre. Currently within...

    KZ really hit the target with the AS06. I keep hearing about "recessed mids" but I'm not getting that; I have no problems with mine. Now I await the experts to tell me the difference between it and ASF.

    The hiss must be model specific because my original FX-Audio DAC-X6 , not the MKII, has NO hiss. I use well made IEMs in it, too. I love mine. Thanks for the review.

    REVIEW: Nintaus X10

    I have the rebranded X-10, called Pyle PDAP18BK. It has DSD up to my ears with 256, no problems with volume wheel, navigation, the language (English), and I don't need to update firmware. The screen goes blank after a while and thankfully locks the buttons while I enjoy my music. A press of a...

    Mine is the rebranded Pyle PDAP18BK. When the screen is turned off or if it turns it off automatically, it will advance to the next song; you can also adjust the volume, too. Plenty of power, intuitive controls, huge battery supply, and you can control it easily by "feeling" the raised buttons...

    Here's a reviewer who knows his BA drivers. We get the added bonus of a comparison with its "sister", the CCA C12. No disguised hype-train for another make here, either. Thanks.

    On my C10, I use a phrase, "Red is right". Both words "Red" and "Right" have the letter R. Maybe it works on the C12, too. YSMMV Your Spelling Mileage May Vary
