Finally, my first review on a pair of wireless earphone. The CCA CX10
About the CCA CX10
Currently, the CCA CX10 is the latest wireless earphone to hit the market by CCA (Clear Concept Audio), a sister company to KZ (Knowledge Zenith), which I’ll reveal some positive results that will eventually put CCA on a higher scale of an already congested competition of in-ear earphones. But, make no doubt, these are going to be one of the better one’s likely for its sonic presentation and ergonomic shiny resin appearance, which in my personal opinion should be an incredible deal for a wireless earphone versus other wireless earphones considered. So, let’s do a complete breakdown on what you get with the CX10!
First off, I want to thank Mr. Wu from CCA for sending the CCA CX10 in return for an honest review. My views on the sound signature may be different or beneficial to some, so please compare my review with others before making your own personal decision whether if this product is right for you, or not. Right now, the cost starts as low as $59 US dollars, though price may vary elsewhere due to store purchased, the country delivered, coupon offers, or shipment cost.
As many in head-fi may know by now, CCA is becoming "common ground" for competitive in-ear earphones at a fraction of the cost, especially for their nicely balanced, low costing and well-made budget earphones that can compete with costlier branded ones. They have launched several in-ear earphones since then, and now their CX10 wireless model that sports an incredible 10 driver unit consisting of two BA for highs, two BA’s for MID’s, plus one double magnetic dynamic driver per side punching above and beyond many dynamic units bringing a type of sonic-like approach to the whole signature that you must hear to believe.
SOUND SIGNATURE:
They have a balanced sonic signature that drives well with any wireless driven unit. You get that perfect bass punch and evenly sought-out clean and clear midrange with brilliant treble and overall nice texture and details that is nothing less of amazing!
PACKAGE:
Other than the package being a white thick box (which is a nice touch), the accessories it comes with are different to the detachable wired one’s CCA usually sells. They carry a different package deal, which includes a pair of in-ear hard, but smooth resin housing wireless earphones, charging storage case, extra-large, medium, and small silicone ear tips, and a manual and warranty card all in one small square packaged box. They come a long way since the launch of the C04.
NOTICEABLE CHANGES:
After burning-in the CX10 for several weeks, they sounded a little pitchy at times according to the song or genre, but now is gone! This surely places them in a higher playing field where maturity plays a role and CCA can finally play where the big boys play, which is in a higher listening experience of higher-end technicality and clarity. Of course, this all comes after burning them in for at least 100 hours to make sure no other changes would occur during the process. Comfort was a big plus as well after incorporating all those drivers into a compact housing. Well done, CCA! So, besides having such a unique sonic balanced sound signature, they have good form and ergonomic shape and can be worn for hours at a time.
SOUND:
BASS:
The bass expresses a sonic-like signature that can extend very low with excellent texture, richness, and punchiness with plenty of sub-sonic coherent details that’s not easy to accomplish with any in-ear wireless earphones, which is due to the 7MM double magnetic dynamic units in each side. But, somehow CCA has manage to accomplish this feat and I applaud them for it. So, rather hearing them as your typical IEM, they mimic the clear and punchy bass of much larger headphones to the point that it actually sounds like you’re listening to one, IMHO.
MIDRANGE:
Here, the same can be said with the midrange having a sense of realistic like vocals that benefits both males and females alike with good transparency and texture. The vocals are unique because it expresses realism in fulfilling the balance the bass and treble needs for the constant harmony the CX10 produces for one of the best sounding signature in this price range I’ve heard by far with wireless earphones today.
TREBLE:
If you’re looking for details, well you’re definitely in for a treat! Not only does the treble demonstrate precision, it does a good job controlling a non-harsh and sibilant-free environment while maintaining good transparency and detail. Just make sure to burn them in for at least 100 hours for the armatures to smooth-out, which in the end provides excellent and satisfying clarity. One surprising factor is the micro-details it produces in the very hi-end register giving you full access of the whole higher pitch range and openness that only well-known brands can offer for their higher price. You get a metallic-free sounding environment, which is another accomplishment achieved by CCA and shows the maturity from such a young company.
SOUNDSTAGE:
The CX10’s soundstage can only be heard to understand the sonic perplexity it displays in the whole staging process. Coupled with the incredibly nice balance, it really does play a vital role on the sonic-like achievement within the whole spectrum. Frontal and depth staging is superb, while imaging, instrument separation is followed by an excellent overall wide soundstage. The CX10 can only be explained as unique and epic in every way possible for such a low price range when compared to more expensive branded wireless models.
OTHER FEATURES:
Excellent Bluetooth 5.0 transmission and speed, AAC lossless coding, compatible with Android and IOS devices, double magnetic and low extended drivers for greater power and faster bass response, plus smart touch operation and game feature mode.
PROS:
Excellent technicality on all areas of the balanced sound with a superb sonic-like listening experience, better than average frontal and depth, imaging, and wide soundstage, great build quality, both wireless earphones can be used as a pair or individually.
CONS:
Older Bluetooth smart phones or less than 32GB smart phones might have a problem with the fast-paced signal the CX10 needs in order for it to operate smoothly.
FINAL COMMENT:
I can say that I am a little old fashion in the sense that I like my earphones connected by wires to my smart phone or any of my audio units. But, as wireless earphones go, I can always vouch for a good pair. So, I can surely say that the CX10 are a “no-brainer” keeper set of wireless earphones, IMHO.

Is this a real thing and why would it affect this IEM in particular?
After many hours trying it with my older phones, my suggestion is not to load too many Apps and keep up with the phones "system cleaner" for the CX10 to work properly. With my newer phone or newer phones with 64GB or higher, it worked flawlessly. I guess newer technology as well, IMHO.
More or less 3 hours to charge the main charging case, and 30 plus hours of playtime or according to the output volume or how much time of use. Stand-by: 120 days on the charging case. So far, I see that it supports AAC.

Thanks, DBaldock9 for enlightening me on certain technicalities of wireless earphones....good to know.
I don't doubt that you had a better experience with a newer phone, but storage quantity doesn't have anything to with it.
A congested or cluttered older phone of less GB's can be an issue when there's apps taking much more space for the wireless earphone to sound smoothly and react faster. According to my experience, it slowed down many fast or busy songs I played. By freeing up space on my older phones helped a lot. Todays newer phones have more space to spare and technically has a faster speed processor compared to older phones.
I still don't get why would they change their original logo + LZ-A7 to "LZ HIFI AUDIO" with a weird font...Perfect match with my dinner table
