Very good video! Putting apart KZ driver scandal, I really need to say that DQ6s has such an amazing tuning. As you said in the video, not everyone can just spend much in an iem, so, it's really amazing that we can access such a good tuning at low price. So, I just want to say that DQ6s has the best tuning I have ever tried, thanks!
@@swapnanilbanerjee9739 IMHO, the T3 plus is definitely worth the extra money. The upper mids and treble area are more polished. The overall sound signature and tuning are in a different class than the CCA CRA+….by a long shot.
Glad that I got the CRA+ for much lower than USD30 (SG$24.5, translates to just under US$18, including shipping) Paid more for the Chu at SG$31.48 (just under US$23, including shipping) instead It's a decent companion to the Chu , I think, as I do reach out for it more for gaming while the Chu gets used more for music on this end
Hey chris. Guess what. I got the hook x and the shouz whatever they call. The 1.1. The one you like it. Man. The think bass and mids. Love it. Different tuning . But fits my metal for sure
In my country cra+ is 18$ should I go for it ? And any suggestions for best iem under 20$ for gaming with great staging and imaging and a mic obviously?!
I know the sub $50 range is crowded, did you ever get to listen to the BLON BL-07? Was wondering if it would have a spot among the best in that price range??
@@SnakeGamerMG3 Same here, I actually have no idea about IEMs but many people says they're good for the price because of Chu crazy hype among Japanese and Mandarin language learner community for no reason. I bought that CRA(P) in Indonesian market, only around 17 USD or 249K IDR, the only reason because Chu doesn't have a detachable cable and it more expensive even for non-mic variant, I feel more like I kinda buying their eartips set but with bonus IEM which is seems so strange and suspicious for a newbie like me. I have no idea if it compared to other but it certainly sounds better than my more priced Logitech headphone and Lenovo neckband except the mic, lulz. I'm really lost at this topic.

I bought the cca cra+ last month, i love how it sounds but I don't like the color of the stock eartips, what eartips will you recommend for budget users like me?
Hey nice video, i was looking for a decent budget earphones for some gaming and movies and i found this one, so in my country the CCR+ was only 4$ more than the regular CCR, i went for the CCR+ since i saw a lot of good reviews and personally i love the golden touch. I'm waiting for it to arrive, thanks!
At my place cra+ is $5 extra from cra. Is it worth it now? I am planning to buy 2 earphones and till now i have finalized cra+ and 7hz zero but i have an eye on anything from "kz" in that price bracket (as my experience was good with edx pro) and moondrop chu (but i have noticed multiple people chose 7hz over chu). I will be buying it next month. What do you suggest?
I got them today, a bit too much mid-bass for me, I'm trying to find tips to reduce it and may have to change the nozzle filters. Not the most fatiguing sound but far from relaxing signature. I've listened about 4 hours today with a break every hour but could do a few albums in a row no problem. You might want to look at the KZs that have been released more recently, they could be better and cheaper.
@@JonnyMorgan18 but i bought these and im regretting my decision these are higher side on bass and treble It is so treble high that when I open the lock of the phone, it pricks in my ears.
@@vikash4141 They are very sensitive, can you turn that phone lock sound off? when I've used KZ/CCAs on bluetooth neckbands the voice prompts and chimes can be too loud. Do you know about micropore tape mods? That will reduce treble. Tape over rear vent (furthest from nozzle) will decrease bass
I stopped looking after the P1, that is my endgame for the time being. Got a Hifiman HE-X4 headphone to match, and it too is my engame for now. Planar magnetic is it for me. I have a ton of other earbuds and headphones but I don't enjoy their sound anymore.
I have the HE-X4 as well. Love it so far but I think my old Topping NX1S amp is powering it just enough but not enough to reach full potential. What amp are you using?
@@ItsJustChase I have a 22 year old Sennheiser HD580, JVC Gumy earbuds, $5 balanced armature earbuds, JBL noise canceling buds, $10 bluetooth headphones, a pair of Tin HiFi T2, and the aforementioned sets.

CCA and KZ may be able to compete with their own products, but I doubt they will be able to compete with other brands.

The white balance seems to be going kinda crazy in this video. Maybe next time set it to hold a value before recording?
I’m actually surprised still by the CRA and CHU. CRA+ should have fixed the issues of CRA and given a better build imo.
They shoulda just called it something else instead of riding CRA di*k
I'm not saying they fixed it, but they made a better product... I found it for $17 and I say it's definitely worth more to pay it than $15 at CRA.
