How does the CA4 compare to the ZSN Pro?

So far, details are more vividly expressive on the upper treble range with the CA4 and they do present a tighter and quick bass response. But, the sub-bass on the PRO can dig really deep and still maintain great midrange and crisp detailed treble energy. They both are just different with the ZSN PRO pointing towards V-shape excitement, while the CA4 points towards a well balanced extended range awesomeness!

That does sound like a little brother to the C16! I'm not so keen on V-shaped IEMs so probably the ZSN Pro won't be for me (though I do like the ZS7!)

Am interested in CCA CA4 vs ZSN Pro sound signature comparison.
On stock cable and with some run-in miles on the both IEMs.
TIA.

Edit: Typed to slow, Nimweth got the request in before me

how about instrument seperation and imaging, soundstage compared to zsn pro? just ordered the pros, should've opted for the ca4's it seems. I prefer balanced/flatness. However, a deeper bass is also good. time to spend some more money.

It sure seems that way! Little brother coming through...

Ca4/ zsn pro and zs10 pro incoming

For such little time on the road as a sister company, they constantly seem to want to "up their game" and compete above and beyond! ...sizzling clarity!
CCA are already in another league! They just keep making quick improvements!...No joke!

this is something new... u sure about it?

what are the real similarities between the C16 and C04

what are the real similarities between the C16 and C04

Just to note: CCA C04 and CCA CA4 are two different IEMs.
The former is the very first one of CCA, and seems to be based on KZ ZSA drivers.
The later is the newest and is a close relative of KZ ZSN pro.
I wonder as well how hybrid CA4 can be similar to all-BA CA16, but I do like the metaphor of 1clearhead

P. S. The continuous name confusion potentially suggests that CCA may want to use some creative IEM naming to become more recognized. For starters I would think of highly original & memorable: Galaxis, Solipsis and Universis

Notice you have both **** and C16, how do they compare? Just based on graphes I saw C16 is bit more brighter and has leaner bass?

Graphs are quite limited, in my opinion. They do not tell about the resolution, response time, etc.

**** is more comparable to CCA10 and KZ ZSN, in my limited judgement.

**** is a real fun. A bit on a wild side for me. For instance, the sound stage feels huge. Then if you listen to recordings of piano or piano duet, the sound is all over the place three-dimensionally Fun and wild.
The sonic signature, in my limited guess, is dominated by a nozzle-placed BA, and I would be extremely curious to understand what is the actual contribution of the high-impedance piezo, if someone can test with a disconnected one for comparison.

**** is quite interesting iem for sure. I asked because I just ordered CCA C16 and was wondering if it is going to be an upgrade from already great sounding ****. Cheers

It sure will, in my opinion, in resolution, refinement, etc. I hope you will enjoy CCA C16. Plus you will have great complementarity with fun holographic ****

I can't say, since I don't have the C04.
