Well, I don't always agree with crinacle on everything (BA5, for example). But I think he's speaking for a number of people on the C10.

As well as for a "number of people" on T800, AS16, etc, right ?
There was not much talk about C10 at all before "the list" - it is the fact.

 

[ShakeThoseCans]

That's correct. It was because crinacle had some things to say about the C10 in his list that people talked about it again, and that's why I looked at it again.

I think it's good if people take another look at the C10. I think it has strengths that should be enhanced in future chi-fi IEMs.

crinacle has also upset people by trashing beloved IEMs, and that is going to generate discontent. I haven't heard the T800, but I would probably enjoy it more than crinacle did.

With the type of music you use in your review, and your liking C10's sound signature; you should take a look at KZ AS10. IMHO, it's a wizard with vocals and mid/bass control. It's doesn't do hard-hitting treble, but pairing it with silver-plated cable should help a bit.

C10 is a real gem in sub $25 or even sub $20 realm. Fatigue free listening and gives you enough details to enjoy the music. Haven't heard C12 but if someone asks me a great all rounder under $30 then C10 will be amongst the top 3 iems that I'd recommend. I still grieve my C10 loss so much that I haven't purchased another one despite being able to purchase it for almost $15 during sales. Because it'd make my other investments redundant due to it's addictive nature. I vividly remember @1clearhead 's impressions during the launch phase and I just feel awfully miserable to misplace such a great iem.

Got My CCA C10 Today, So far tried with my BTR3 and xDuoo XD-05 (Netflix/Prime/Youtube binging) and now with X5-2 playing my collection. As of now at least 5-6 hours of continuous usage till I open the box...Totally Fatigue Free Listening. I can't do this on with TRN V90.....Ears getting tired much faster due to its details retrieval nature.

This is my first CCA and yes I bought this after recent hype which I read from TRN thread. CCA C10 one of the great movie watching set also.

>.Ears getting tired much faster due to its details retrieval nature.

you got a point there,

seems I'm running into this with the TRN V90 vs. the TRN ST1 while listening to meditation and relaxation music, also binaural beats and entrainment stuff

this is weird ... gotta check if this also holds true with ASMR or what it's called

Listening fatigue is a common side effect of earphones with BA drivers, due to the ultra high frequencies.

Listening to live instruments, especially violins, is fatiguing.
So non-fatiguing and real-life are often the opposite poles of the spectrum.

I can't tell if you're joking or not...

Boosted peaks is more is real reason.

Now adapt my volume compared to the boosted peaks. I don't have fatiguing hear by boosted peaks so I never feel really the aggressive treble for example

Like buskers in the London tube. I walk faster!

Especially those fiddlers with all-steel strings. To some they may feel to have that so called KZ-like sound

My recent experience with C12 cables to share.
The new generation of multicoloured cables offers amazingly rich psychoacoustic experience!
Here I feel that silver enhancies treble nicely, opens it up, makes it breathe; the blue supports the tightness in the bass, brings the crispiness to an overall balance; and the shiny connector parts make the overall experience a touch overly exuberant for my senses. The next step is to get the matte ones and compare

Just wanted to say that thanks to your photo I was able to figure out how to properly connect the cables. Did not want to play the guessing game so was glad to find your photo!

Excited to try the C12s out with this KB Ear upgrade cable!
