Pure SilverWhen you say silver, do you mean pure silver, or silver plated copper?

Pure Silver
C12 are definitely a tiny bit brighter (slightly more extended treble), slightly more mid-bass compared to ZSX, ZSX bass feels a bit tigher.I've just started to realise what everyone was talking about on here about struggling to keep up with KZ releases, I know they have slowed a little recently, but you can be sure as soon as you are sitting comfy enjoying the latest model, a new one gets released!
I just got the CCA C12's - first Chi Fi IEM and I dig it, nice clear presentation, much more emphasis on treble than any IEM's I already own but it's breathing new life into old records and giving a fresh perspective, it's supposed to be fun right?
Only now I see the CCA CA16 has just dropped, also wondering about the ZSX which I was going to buy originally, I saw some people mention the treble was a bit too much which led me to the C12's I'm considering ordering one of these to A/B against the C12's.
There's a lot of love for the CA CA16's right now and I'm curious if people are swapping their CA12's and ZSX out for these,
The CA CA16 are twice the price of the ZSX where I am.
I've heard conflicting things about which is the brighter sounding, ZSX or C12, most say ZSX is brighter?
Nice! thank you for the info - I'm curious which headphones you were using prior to getting the CA16's??C12 are definitely a tiny bit brighter (slightly more extended treble), slightly more mid-bass compared to ZSX, ZSX bass feels a bit tigher.
P. S. I am in the process of burning/acclimating CA16 now, which are quite amazing!
ZSX and C12 are quite close, so CA16 vs. ZSX is an easier answer.Nice! thank you for the info - I'm curious which headphones you were using prior to getting the CA16's??
I guess I'm wondering if to pick up the ZSX or go for the CA16's
The ZSX will probably be more similar to the C12,the CA16 more different, so depends on which you want. I think one of the biggest differences the CA16 has is that it doesn’t have a balanced armature in the nozzle like most other hybrids, which I believe leads to its smoother and non fatiguing treble, I really like it.Nice! thank you for the info - I'm curious which headphones you were using prior to getting the CA16's??

Based on all reports I’ve read thus far, the CA16 seems to be the first really well balanced, musical, non-V shaped hybrid IEM from CCA/KZ, that has really good mids. A much needed addition.The ZSX will probably be more similar to the C12,the CA16 more different, so depends on which you want.

The CA16 has too much/too bright treble compared to the ZSX? I thought that b/c there is no BA in the nozzle of the CA16 it wasn’t as bright. I don’t find the ZSX to bright, though I think the ZS10 Pro is just slightly too bright for my tastes.for me mids are good but too much treble. and it is fatigung if someone has good hearing
