Bought the first kz bt module (b pin) a few months ago, because it was just around 5 bucks. Did not except it, but one of the strongest connectivity i met.
I use it with ES4 for biking or moving around in the apartment.

I liked the lucky bag aptx 2 pin cable sound better (more neutral, the kz elevates the treble a bit), but the cable broke just after a month of use (one side above the pin, quieter or no signal). Which is never happens to me, even with cheap jvc earphones. So now I am afraid to use my backup one.

Yeah, that circular thing basically is where the touch area is. But it is pretty responsive though. Been using a review that Linsoul sent for a couple of days now. Same low latency mode too. But a nice update over the S1 is that there is now a voice prompt telling you which mode you are in. On the S1, it's the same beeping sound no matter whether you turn it on or off. :/

My Tin audio T2's stock cable is damaged so I ordered a KZ MMCX cable with memory wire, but I feel like wearing memory wire over my ears keeps pushing the shell out of my ears, stock T2' cable is much more comfort because the cable run straight down. I tried to remove the memory wire, I cut the plastic but I can't withdraw the metal piece, I think I would need a new budget cable, do you have any suggestion?

Wrap the bare memory wire around your finger a few times (like a ring) and pull the memory wire out. It will definitely come out, as I've removed dozens of them. Some pop out easier than others.

I have the ZS10Pro. Do I need the CCA12?

Personally I have always found the ZS10 Pro to be the best in the range and it's my personal favourite chi-fi IEM. That said the CCA12's are a fantastic IEM but a bit more V shaped. Significantly more bass impact and a slightly elevated treble but not to the point of becoming harsh. I wouldn't rush out and buy them as an upgrade. They are both excellent earphones with one being more neutral and the other with a slightly more V shaped presentation. The one thing I can state with confidence is that the CCA12 wins over the ZSX but again they're all just different tuning's

Thanks for your comment on this. I have had CCA C12 and ZSX in my cart for weeks now. I own ZS10 PRO and they are my favorite of the other 4 iems I own for most of the music I listen to. Don't feel the need to spend more money to replace them.
