I can't use silicone tips for long period of time like I used to. Once you go comply you can't go back

Not true for everyone... nothing in this game is. I tried them and found them to be horrible for me. Silicone all the way for me... some are more comfy than others...

Anyone else have a problem with the comfort of KZ IEMs? I have both the ZST and ZS6 with comply foam tips. Both hurt my ears after like 30 minutes of use. I do not experience this at all with my Shures and fiio FH5.

Nope, not me at least. Actually it is the opposite: my Shure SE215 hurts my ears after 1h, but I can wear my ZST all day and have no issue (with foam tips). I can't wear my AS10 all day without having at least a little discomfort but it's not as bad as the Shure.

True, I see a lot of people preferring to use silicone for comfort and sound which sounded weird to me because I haven't tried a pair of silicone tips that don't cause a suction effect and don't feel comfortable. But now I realize that there is more because I got a pair of round (sports fit, slow rise. These: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bID56oeU) and I can't use them with my AS10 because the comfort is worse than with silicone. All foam aren't the same either, just like with silicone.
Tip rolling seems to be a fun thing to do when you're bored

It is not fun and I am never bored. Actually if I have to try several my ears become sore from taking them in and out.

For those who do not care about isolation, buds are more comfortable in general and can sound really great.

I have. Foam gets uncomfortable. I can wear Shure and FH5 all day long no problem. Not ZS6. Most comfortable tips I've found for ZS6 are the Spinfit CP145, no problem wearing them a full day. Just be carefull, you'll have to master the art of extracting the tip out with the headphone jack from your ear cause those bastards will come off occasionally. The CP100 are tighter and don't slide, a lot more comfortable than Comply but not as comfortable as CP145 for me. Your ears might be diffrent and have better luck with CP100. I use small.

This has to be REALLY FRIGGIN GREAT IEM cuz I can`t see any reason why I wouldn`t pick IT01S or Kanas Pro over it! ...CCA is reaching clients too money-taking way. They have to prove themselves and their products before.

Absolutely!

This is no more budget territory. Maybe it's fantastic, but it seems to be a rushed release. CCA is very recent, at least to me with the C10, never heard of them before...

Just had an interesting conversation with the owner of LuckLZ Audio Store on Ali.
He's got a much better price on the C16 (USD 119,00) and he gives discounts for his Twitter followers. But when I told him it's still a little steep for an unknown product, he said he'll report it to CCA, so they lower the prices of C16.

Edit: Just checked his prices. It's also USD 139,00. He must've meant the price he gets from CCA. Sorry for the confusion. Still, the discounts on Twitter are real, and who knows? Maybe they'll actually get CCA to lower the prices.

Not really, but my wife will kill me if family don't come first...

From what I have seen on the forums here, if it drops to below the US$100/- mark, the crowds will start streaming in to give such stuff a shot.

It was similar with what happened with the BGVP DMG. Lots of people were sitting on the fence at its RRP of about US$139/-. You started to see more people getting it and leaving impressions after sales discounts dropped the price to just around the US$100/- mark.

CCA would do well, if they have absolute faith in the quality of their product, to do an early-bird/ introductory / pre-order price at around that marker to get it to the early adopters and then revert to RRP upon general release instead.
