Welcome to the first @regancipher IEM review here on Headfi, the highly-rated CCZ Emerald.
CCZ are a relative newcomer to the IEM market. ShenZhen Juijang Electronic, their parent company, seem to have their fingers in many pies...but headphones doesn't appear to have ever been one of them, looking at their company profile. So it was a surprise to see a relatively new name upsetting the apple cart with several releases - the Plume, which were a little bit of a damp squib, the more impressive Coffee Bean, Melody, and in Q4 2021, the Emerald.
With KZ and KB-Ear dominating the market at this price point, I was fascinated to see how CCZ would perform, and the Emerald were a nice surprise.
As with all of my IEM/TWS reviews unless stated otherwise, these were purchased by me.
The Unboxing - 6/10
The unboxing is not exactly riveting here, and a little bit of a disappointment if you're used to the Kinera experience. You get the IEM, which is held tightly in an enclosure and difficult to remove. The eartips are pretty decent quality - they come fitted with the medium, and you get two additional sizes. The tips have an outer 'lip' around the nozzle, although this doesn't detract from the comfort.
The cable is decent enough quality - an OFC 4 core cable, similar to the old KZ ones. Frustratingly it is a little easy to tangle despite being rather short, at around 1.2m total length. Mine came with mic, although it is available without, and unfortunately no carry case included.
Ergonomics and Build Quality - 8/10
The Emerald really punch above their weight here, with very good build quality and decent comfort. The dimensions and weight are about right for a dual-driver, with the depth including nozzle coming in at just under 24mm. The nozzle is not too invasive, but with the medium tips I was able to achieve decent isolation. The earhooks are not too stiff either, so the overall design is quite malleable, making them solid all-rounders for all different shapes and size ears.
The IEM itself is teardrop shaped with a 2pin 0.78mm connection. The outside is covered with a sage green visage, and the cold aluminium texture looks much nicer in real life than the pictures do justice.
The semi-transparent inner-side shows off the drivers, with the BA sitting alongside the dynamic driver. Also visible to the right are a pressure release vent and matte green lip, designed to improve stability. Whilst I expect some will find the combination of the lip and tip-shape a little overbearing, I found the former to provide good support, and the latter to not detract too much from the overall comfort, which over prolonged usage was good, although not quite comparable to the super-comfy KB-Ear KS1.
Audio - 8/10 (for the price paid), 7.5/10 (raw score)
The low impedance makes it very easy to drive, and whilst I tested on various sources (smartphone, Ikko LOT dongle, AZ09 adapter) and with different cables (NiceHCK silver plated), the improvements were somewhat academic. Even so, audio on the Emerald is a really nice surprise, and definitely an improvement on the Melody.
With a custom BA and 10mm DD, generally, the Emerald has a pleasant sound signature that features a rounded, present low-frequency response and a solid sub-bass delivery that contributes to a refined, tight bass response with decent punch, no bloat and little mid-bass bleed.
Soundstage is surprisingly very good - there is a nice combination of warmth and breadth to the Emerald, with top notch imaging at this price point. Whilst the signature is v-shaped, it is nicely refined with smooth treble. Treble extension could be better, and as a result you're not getting anything like reference class detail retrieval and timbre bordering on the dark side, but I don't think anyone expects an analytical performance at this price point, and actually if you switch the cable to NICEHCK silver plated, the dynamic range extends further and brings a little excitement to an otherwise uneventful but enjoyable experience. With the stock cable, you aren't going to be offended by the Emerald - vocals have decent texture without discernible sibilance, and the combination of dark but spacious hits the spot with almost all music genres.
Final Comments
The Emerald are probably CCZ's best release to date. They are very nicely tuned, comfortable, well-designed and offer a lucid soundstage with a pleasant, dark-ish sound signature that offers clarity and detail that belies the low price.
You aren't getting reference-class detail, but you are getting good imaging, solid, well-balanced audio delivery across full the frequency spectrum that improves with better cable and amplification. Considering this is CCZ's first hybrid, hopefully they can build on this excellent value release and give the usual suspects even greater competition.
The Emerald are in my top five IEM's under $25, and are pretty much permanently affixed to my AZ09's. Well done CCZ on a really nice release.

CCZ EMERALD REVIEW!
Good Day! Here are my comments and a comprehensive evaluation of the CCZ Emerald - a relatively new IEM and one of three IEMs produced by CCZ, a relatively new company.
Disclaimer:
- KeepHiFi (Sandy CCZ) provided me with this review sample in return for my honest opinion and views on the Emerald. Rest assured that this review will be as devoid of bias/es as possible.
- The following remarks and observations shall be made and owned only by me.
- No monetary compensation is/was involved before, during, and after the period of creation of this review.
- Your mileage may (and always, will) vary.
Burn-in time: 5 hours per day, 3 days.
Source/s used:
- Hidizs AP80
- Not-By-VE Avani Realtek Dongle
- Samsung Galaxy S3 (WM1811 DAC)
- Non-HiFi smartphone (realme 5i)
- Local Files via Foobar and Roon, YouTube Music, Deezer, and Qobuz with UAPP.
Sound signature:
- Balanced-warm. Big, controlled lows most of the time. Vocals can sound intimate on vocal-oriented tracks, Average soundstage.
- Lows are present and elevated. It is thumpy and has a normal decay, not too fast nor too slow. Levels of midbass and sub-bass are both equal to my ears. Overall, the lows exhibit a controlled yet fun presentation for its asking price. Bassheads may enjoy this IEM on bass-heavy and EDM tracks.
- Mids are warm and may suffer slight recession depending on the source paired with it due to some slight mid-bass bleed. Lower mids are thick and have decent clarity. Upper mids are slightly elevated compared to the lower mids and can sound intimate on vocal-oriented tracks. It also exhibits decent clarity with no presence of harshness and sibilance. Overall, the mids are pretty good and have a compelling presentation under 20USD due to its lush and smooth character.
- Highs are also extended, although not by much as compared to comparable IEMs in this price range. Treble-heads may be disappointed by the absence of treble energy, but most ears will be satisfied. Average detail retrieval, you can fairly easy to catch the small nuances on tracks. Overall, the treble on this IEM settled for the safer side without being too rolled off.
Soundstage, Imaging, and separation:
- The soundstage is average, wider than deep. Separation is also average; it can suffer a little bit of congestion. Imaging is also accurate and good for most tracks such as pop, acoustic rock and EDM.
Comparison/s:
Vs the KZ ZEX
- Both IEMs perform really good-even toe-to-toe when compared. The KZ ZEX sounds more “fun” and energetic compared to the CCZ Emerald. The bass on the ZEX is also punchier compared to the Emerald. The mids on the CCZ Emerald are much more forward compared to the ZEX. Treble is also much more extended on ZEX and can suffer some instances of sibilance to sibilant-prone tracks in return. The Emerald on the other hand has a decent extension on the treble without getting hot or sibilant. The separation is also better on the CCZ Emerald by a fairly small margin. The ZEX sounded a little bit congested when compared overall.
Pros:
- An All-rounder-sound
- Despite being an all-rounder, its presentation is somewhat different compared to the IEMs within its asking price (23usd or under)
- Smooth mids presentation
- Decent packaging and accessories, particularly the ear tips.
- Lightweight fit and feel, reminded me of the Final E1000 in terms of fit and feel.
- A fatigue-free listening experience.
- Very easy to be driven properly.
Cons:
- Intimate vocals (subjective)
- Lack of treble energy for treble heads (subjective)
- Slight mid-bass bleed
- Aside from those stated, nothing really bad for its asking price (23USD)
Verdict
The CCZ Emerald is one of the “best” IEMs I can recommend for IEMs within the 20-25USD price range. It pretty much hit all the characteristics of a decent IEM that is an all-rounder and can please most ears in terms of fit, comfort, isolation, and sound quality despite the company being new to this world full of IEMs being released almost every day. This IEM is already a good starting point for the company to improve its sound as time goes on.
Thank you for reading!

INTRO:
CCZ is an entrant in the budget audiophile marker. They do have a few IEMs under their belt, most of these are cheaper entey level IEMs while they have a more expensive $200 IEM too. But that's not what I am here with. What I have here is one of their more budget offerings, CCZ Emerald. It's an interesting and impressive IEM. It's priced at just $24 and comes in two color options. One can opt for Mic or without Mic cable. It is a hybrid IEM but doesn't go the KZ or TRN way. I used to have the TRN V30 which I loved but I can say that this CCZ IEM is better than that in nearly every aspect.
I will compare the Emerald with KBear KB04 and TFZ S2 pro.

ACCESSORIES CABLE AND ERGONOMICS:
This is a budget IEM and doesn't come with a lot of accessories. It ships with a set of premium looking tip and that's it. The unboxing experience is fairly average too. The cable is very similar to what we can find with KZ IEMs. It is a good OFC cable with 4 cores which is not stiff. There is slight bit of microphonics but its low enough.
What I am really impressed with is its build quality. It feels solid and sturdy to then hand. This is a $24 IEM with a semi custom shell and Aluminum alloy back plate. I am impressed. This IEM is very comfortable inside the ear thanks to its winged design. Matte finish on wing provides excellent traction inside the ear.
Another interesting thing is this IEM doesn't have the BA inside the nozzle. This BA driver is alongside the DD which is refreshing to see.
SOUND QUALITY:
This is a $24 IEM with a simple hybrid setup and to my ears this IEM punches much higher than its price suggests. What impressed me its calmness and the way it balances the spectrum without getting aggressive or peaky. The lower end is not boomy while the mids and treble region are detailed yet inoffensive.
There is no point in using an expensive source for this IEM as it sounds excellent out of mobile phones. The impedance of just 16ohm makes it much easier for weaker devices to work around it. I am using my Redmi Note 10 pro and Qudelix 5k for this review.
BASS:
Emerald has a single 10mm DD for the lower end and I am impressed. It simply doesn't try to stamp it's athority which not really common at this price. The amount of balance between control and presence shown by this $24 IEM can easily shame a more premium Fiio FH5s. It is punchy, well rounded and pleasing. Sub-bass extension is good with nice rumble to it while the mid bass is slightly more voluminous with fuller and meatier notes. The only shortcoming is, it doesn't have the texture we can find with Fiio FD3. Don't expect a lot of details either but the layered feeling of bass notes is intact.
Decay speed is pleasing, it's not too slow to feel boom but has enough presence to make its sound wholesome. Upper bass is is well under control and smoothly blends into the lower mids. I really love the more mature and level headed approach here.
MID RANGE:
Mostly the mid ranges of entry-level hybrid IEMs are drowned. They usually hang by a thread or go all out with excessive assault and aggression. Emerald doesn't tru to attack or drown the mids. It brings a well balanced mid range with some emphasis to the vocals. Both male and female vocals sound good with very good texture. Yes, it doesn't have the definition or resolution of $100 IEMs but it has the more even and uniform energy which is cohesive.
Instruments around the vocal region lack energy and aren't very transparent but still get the job done. Upper mids is where it's hybrid nature gets exposed. There is a drop in energy just before the Upper mids but the Upper mids are not aggressive. What it has is a bit more energy and transparency with acoustic guitar and cymbals.
HIGHS:
WHAT!! Really.. You still want more from this well behaved kid? Alright.. The BA driver here gets the job done without breaking character. It has nice spark and transparency but doesn't try to be a lot contrasty or forward which is an impressive feat of an IEM at this price point.
Layering and transparency is very good for the price but don't expect a lot of separation from it. There isn't a lot of technical data here. Thankfully it doesn't sound lacking as the treble extension is aptly good.
COMPARISONS:
VS Fiio FH5s
This fiio IEM is 10 times more expensive but guess what.. Emerald has better sub-bass presence, better balance and less agitated feel. And surprisingly this $24 IEM has a more evolved stage and sonicality. Strange..
FH5s has far better transparency and doesn't stutter at more complicated and complex tracks. It's technical abilities are far superior too but the treble extension is not better than Emerald.
FH5s is Superior but is it really?
CONCLUSION:
It might sound odd but this $24 IEM is a complete product. It has the fit, it has the finish and it has the sound quality too. This is not a very technically capable IEM, it simply cant compete with IEM in the $100+ price bracket when it comes the details and separation but guess what it has the uniformity and cohesion. It has the wholesome feeling which is hard to sideline. No other IEM under $50 has this much of maturity. It is does not get agitated or tries to do something it isn't capable of. It performs with consistency.
Are you looking for your first IEM and do not want to break your bank? Pick the Emerald. Not a single thing will disappoint you unless you want that extra sharpness with your notes.

Good review, thanks! I picked these up a few weeks ago; and your review is spot on. However, I changed the cable to a NiceHCK silver (14$), and changed the tips -- wow. The increased transparency in the mids, the soundstage, the bass texture, AND the coherency. I use them more on my dektop rig than my FLC8s. THe FLC8 might have a pinch more definition, but lacks the soundstage. Very nice. Oh, And I needed to take off those side bumps things. This actually allows some music to come through the sides and give a more spatial, all dimension soundstage.

@krunchcrispy great choice mate, it indeed is an excellent IEM for introduction to the Audiophile madness. 
The Emerald is one of a bunch of new IEMs from the new IEM manufacturer CCZ known for their BA drivers. It comes in a simple box with tips and a cable as expected. Build quality is very good for its price range and perhaps more. Transparent front shell and a metal back plate in blue and green are good touches to the comfortable and nice design of the earphones.

Mids: are airy and clean with a nice warmth in the lower mids and brighter more forward upper Mids, vocals and instruments had good separation and felt natural and pleasant.
Treble: is very well tuned with a bright and balanced tonality, there is sparkle but no harshness, overall the highs are smooth and crisp and average details.
