how is CCA C12 compared to TRN V90? For daily usage which one do you recommend?

Thank you. How do you find TRN V90 comparing to CCA C12?I found the CCA C12 to be a suitable upgrade to the Tin 3. I found both the T2 & T3 to be fatiguing, in stock form (no EQing or taping ports); due to their elevated frequency response in the upper range. The C12 (like the Tin series) is very good at clarity and detail; but (thankfully) they aren't troublesome, to my allergic reaction to an elevated 4k -8k range. The C12 will respond to sub bass, but I wouldn't categorize them as being anywhere close to being basshead level.

TRN V90 has a well-balanced sound with deep sub bass, very little recession in the mids and a clean open and extended treble thanks to the 30019 BAs. C12 is a detail monster with a more analytical sound displaying great clarity and an elevated upper mid/ lower treble. V90 has a larger soundstage but C12 imaging is superior. I hope this helps.Thank you. How do you find TRN V90 comparing to CCA C12?

Does the CCA C12 fit the same as the KZ ZS10 Pro?TRN V90 had a well-balanced sound with deep sub bass, very little recession in the mids and a clean open and extended treble thanks to the 30019 BAs. C12 is a detail monster with a more analytical sound displaying great clarity and an elevated upper mid/ lower treble. V90 has a larger soundstage but C12 imaging is superior. I hope this helps.
I liked the ZS10 Pro's, but the weight of the metal shell made them just a little loose if I'd go for a walk.
The TRN V90's fit me a little better.
CCA C12 was on my list, but I'm not sure now because the shell looks the same as ZS10 Pro.

Yes, the C12 and ZS10 Pro have a similar fit. V90 is more comfortable with its rounded earpieces. They are heavier so you may need to tip roll to get a tighter seal.Does the CCA C12 fit the same as the KZ ZS10 Pro?

My findings are in line with @Nimweth . But for my preferences, the C12 was a little too “clinical”; ended up selling them to a friend who doesn’t like a low end emphasis, as much as I do. He is loving the CC12 with his 70s - 80s rock.

Does V90 have more down low then Blon? More low end then Bq3? Just trying to pin down some specifics on them and would appreciate the help.My findings are in line with @Nimweth .

I feel the V90 goes lower than the BQ3 but the BQ3 has thicker bass, both beat the Blon-03 for me

V90 has more sub bass than the BLON, which has more mid bass. I do not have the BQ3 for comparison.Does V90 have more down low then Blon? More low end then Bq3? Just trying to pin down some specifics on them and would appreciate the help.

Any comparisons between C10 and C12? Are they worthy enough to upgrade?

To me they’re different. The C10 is more neutral, not V-shaped, while the C12 is less neutral and can be considered a slight upgrade to the mythical ZS10 Pro.
Hello I have a question about CCA C12 that I am going to buy.
I want to buy an upgrade cable (**** 16 core, 40$ that will cost 17$ on 11/11)
But on Ali express descriptions are unclear... this cable is available with 2pin, QDC and TFZ plug, it is said is suitable for many Iem KZ, CCA, but is not told which Iem are suitable for 2pin, which ones for QDC or TFZ...
The C12 has this protruding socket so the 2pin would not cover it property, and being straight is unclear how to insert to respect polarity, while the QDC seem similar to the connector of stock cable but I read it has inverted polarity. (at least, I guess the cable shown together with C12 is the stock cable!)
So, is the TFZ connector the right one? Similar shape as the QDC, and being angled there should be no problem with polarity as it should be plugged with cable going up.
Thanks for help!

a cable for KZ type C, not A, should work fine on the CCA C12.
