You really think there will be both? Pay for both licenses? AptX Loseless is quite close so think that will start to show up more and more and I think a KZ will just go with that esp. since it is more battery friendly than LDAC.
Lol KZ themselves don't advertise the AZ09 pro being able to use AptX adaptive. I found it by accident when I was pairing my AZ09 pro to AE bluetooth adapter that I originally bought for my Fiio UTWS5. And to my surprise, it connected with AptX adaptive.

Yep, I know it does adaptive but saying I highly doubt they would do LDAC and really really highly doubt both aptX codecs and LDAC together. Plenty of things that transmit but on the receiving end the codec list is never as long.

Hi, I am trying to make an IEM purchase and would love some recommendations:
- Looking for V-shaped with good sub-bass extension and impact, as well as upper treble detail and air. For context, fullsize fostex headphones are my fav.
- Comfort is important
- Needs to have a mic cable option
- I prefer straight down but I can do over ear also
- Will likely aftermarket foam tips
- IEMs I have had in the past are DUNU DN-1000 which were great with comply foamies. I also had KZ ZS6 which I didn't like due to lack of sub-bass and too much treble but the detail was great.
I am thinking of trying KZ ZS10 Pro now, anything else better I should try? Thanks!
My Zs-10 (non pro) after more than 2 years are still pleasing me in my jogging sessions, about 3 times a week withstanding rain and sweat. They outperform all previous IEMs I used for jogging, that last about one year each. Monster Victory, Westone Adv Alpha, V-moda Forza. All built specifically for workout, sweat proof etc., unlike Zs-10, cost 6-7 times more than the KZ, with a similar sound quality. Well, well done KZ!

CRA is DQ6 but better in almost everything, i guess. Expect bass is slower than CRA (could be a con), more dynamic than CRA and the timbre is more neutral/analogue compare to clean sounding of CRA. DQ6 have 8k peak and 2k peak while CRA have 5k peak and 12-13k peak. I think if you like treble you will like CRA
I have an opposite opinion.
While CRA are great for its price, and I do like the shells, to my ears DQ6 are better, and ZAX are notably better (othen than DD and the low end, there CRA beat DQ6 notably and ZAX by far).
CRA are overhyped a bit at the moment, there will be another IEM flavour of the week/month when KZ will start to use this DD in other designs.

I would not agree easily, I really like KZ V-shape in general, and AS16, that are not generally popular with its treble boost, are one of my favourite IEMs.
CRA sound brittle to me, some mids feel thin and coupled with the 5K boost that does not work for me (I do use wide-bore tips and do have a seal etc to refute the "dismissal of antihype"
P. S. Are CRA great for $12 - absolutely!
Do they beat everything under $50 or even $25 - definitely, no to me.

Right now i'm in weird state of CRA is pretty damn good for me, but it didn't still click with me.
ZexPro have its issues that i bitch a lot but it impresses me more than CRA now.
That being said, i'm still using default equip of CRA.
Even Aria require me to mod it a bit and get the full gear to make it great for me.
So, what are your cables and eartips that you use for your CRA?
