Just posted my review of the CCA C10: another budget Chi-Fi surprise! :D

I hope this graph is true... but note that vertical scaling is off to create "better image"

No joking, the graph is very very scaled so it looks good :)

This is how it actually looks like, if scaled properly, so it highlights the differences

10dB of sub-bass, a strong 3kHz peak, lots of dips in the upper midrange and lower treble, and some air .

The difference between the bass and the 9kHz treble is almost 20 dB following this graph :)

Damnit... I had no idea the **** was a low priced IEM with all that I've been hearing about it. I was expecting it to be in the 50-100 price bracket.
Will resist...KZ5 still functional, KZ7 tempting..

Anyone able to compare the **** to the Ezaudio D4? I'm guessing the **** beats it in soundstage and less treble peaks?

More thoughts on the ****:
∆ Three dimensional soundstage
∆ Wonderful open midrange and treble
∆ No crossover artefacts
∆ Superb transient attack
∆ Amazing reproduction of harmonics in violins, cellos and pianos
∆ Linear bass response from sub bass all the way to the mids
At £18 GBP these are an incredible bargain, with good build quality and detachable cables as well. The unique combination of three different driver types is a total success.
They are my present joint favourite along with the C10.

What tips are you using with the ****? I found that the stock red tips were too small for my large ears and I used large KZ Starlines instead, but I think it may be killing the soundstage because I don't really hear a 3D soundstage.

I'll just say I listened to the D4 once, and the piercing treble was too much for me and I've not listened to them since, and the **** is significantly better.

Since you got bqeyz KC2, hows the **** compared with it? Soundstage wise, mature sound, clarity, details? thanks in advance

All the Kanas Pro hype and the original kanas is missed.

Well i got one for myself.

Lovely, @chinmie has heard both and like the original kanas a little more.

The original one (mine) should have more sub bass than the tuned towards neutral Kanas pro.

I can tell it is very tasteful. By memory, It smokes my DMG. You shouldn't trust this anyway, but i'll tell you because a believe it 100%.

"Dont trust memory on audio devices" so true!

Like you the suppled tips were too small.I use Spiral Dots. I also use them on the C10. The wide bore preserves the soundstage.

I received my CCA C10's I ordered direct from China via E-bay.
Delivery took a week.
Very comfortable and impressive sound.
Very Flat sound which is fine for extended listening.
Cannot complain for the price.

I would say..more polite with not as much detail, which is a pity.
Warmer sound maybe better for prolonged listening

Just listening to the MQA version of the Prodigy new Album on Tidal...The c-10's are much more tolerable
