I recently purchased CCA’s CRA+ as I am relegated completely to budget IEM’s and I have been VERY pleased with this set. I paid much less than retail for them so there’s that lol !😂
This set definitely has my interest after your description though I may wait a bit to see how QC ends up shaking out. Thanks for as always your honesty and shot brother, God Bless...
Wow, impressive graph and that cable looks dope. Hopefully they will dip into tribred sets, for a price to performance ratio these guys are onto something 👍
Seen this set being reviewed by another person and he was also positive about this set. Your review makes me really consider getting this set but I actually want to save money for Timmy's upcoming collab. Thanks for the review.
That cable looks amazing. More expensive sets usually come with a chip cable, some times even the money trees sets come with an awfully chip cable The review is really positive I feel the urge to go and buy it
Usage determines whether I use TWS or wired, and also whether in ear or headphone. Tend to use bluetooth TWS/Headphones or DSP earphones when out and about or a USB DAC and IEM from my laptop and headphones when using my hi-fi system . Love me a bit of ELO, saw Jeff Lynne's ELO live a few years ago, they were fantastic .
O wow Saw this iem at another reviewer and he was also enthusiastic about it. Your review really makes me considers this set but to be honest I want to save my money for Timmy's upcoming set. Anyway thanks for another review.
Just got a pair of mangird tea2s. Payment options like Klarna are making a lot of premium audio equipment much more affordable and accessible for enthusiasts.
I'm a little more interested in having one of this set than the Rhapsody I almost bought as an "experiment". Yeah, sure they are clearly not in the same price range... the hydro still seems to be kinda affordable and the cable really makes it a bit more "premium-feeling".
You said that you dont to jazz OST and other music ghat doesnt have vocals to it. Is there something or a reviewer you'd rec for those that do listen to that type of music?
I've seen a lot of photos of the Hydro in what looks like a dark blue color, which looks good and matches the name. But on their site I only see a black color. Any idea if there's a blue one somewhere?
for outside use BT earphones are g8, specially when, riding bike or bicycle. Sony xm4 is one of my favorite. i have a Bang & Olufsen - B&O Play - Earset. and itz more then great .
I’ve never used a set with switches … I’m guessing for they’d be set once and left alone … couldn’t see me fiddling with them track to track … perhaps genre switching?
Can't say I really expected a decent set from this company after some of the past concerns. 2 DD 8 BA should have tons of potential. I will always be leary though that the reviewed set and the set I'd buy wouldn't match graph-wise. Hopefully, that won't be an issue, but it says something that is still on people's minds.
the $100-$200 market keeps getting better and better, not that long ago if you wanted the performance that you are getting at this price range today you had to spend probably twice as much.

It makes sense that they send stuff closer to your target. Nice to see it pop out at this price point, too.
It would be interesting to know how it compares to similarly priced hybrids like EM6L, Nova and DZ4.
☝🏼

Thanks for as always your honesty and shot brother, God Bless...
Did you end up going for it, not sure if i should get this or supermix4, especially because of Kz's reputation.
@@blinkblik6924 I passed on it sorry.
Wow, impressive graph and that cable looks dope. Hopefully they will dip into tribred sets, for a price to performance ratio these guys are onto something 👍
KZ/CCA are so confident that this is their best set yet that they sent to you to review 😄
Still remember the earphones that used to come with Sony Walkman phones, wish they make something that sounds similar..
Seen this set being reviewed by another person and he was also positive about this set.
Your review makes me really consider getting this set but I actually want to save money for Timmy's upcoming collab.
Thanks for the review.
This is the second good review I've heard of this iem !
Bonham's drums were placed in a hallway to get that iconic sound on When The Levee Breaks
been aiming for this set. thanks for the reviews as always!!!
I love how simple the shell looks
This must be very good. It's my first time seeing you praise them in a video.
I know this would not be the fair comparassion, but which one did you prefer to go, moondrop may or this?
Seems like another great set for this type of library!
Morning bruh!
Found those on Amazon last night, the Sony’s, damn good user reviews.
Mahalos
The Sony's slam good🔊
That cable looks amazing.
More expensive sets usually come with a chip cable, some times even the money trees sets come with an awfully chip cable
The review is really positive I feel the urge to go and buy it
love how you rec stuff i wouldn't have even know. thank you again for the great review!
Notifications ain't missing a video lately
0:33 That's a nice, thick cable 😯

Anyway thanks for another review.
Thanks for the review. I am considering this too for the price it seems really good. And your review helps confirming that.
came straight from pauls review and now this. Seems like a very interesting set, thanks for the review hbb
That cable looks amazing especially for the price of this set!
That cable! And graph is soooo appealing.
Nice! CCAs top is still within the realm of ChiFi, and it is looking great. Good job!
Just got a pair of mangird tea2s. Payment options like Klarna are making a lot of premium audio equipment much more affordable and accessible for enthusiasts.
this is a very competitive price bracket. it will be interesting to see how this does against peers.
Cable actually surprised me
That cable definitely looks good! Hydro seems like a decent pair!
Always a better day for a review..
Been a while since I last watched your video, thanks for the rec as usual!
That is one incredible cable right there, looks solid.
Dip switches annoy the heck outta me. Filters are the next on the list, warming to DSP though. A lot of competitors in the price band.
I like dip switches, probably the fastest way to go between settings for testing purposes, better than nozzles or the weird Starfield 2 bass plugs
The Cable looks dope.
The frequency graph is pretty. The cables look good, too.
So this is the 784 cable STD option on the site?
Dang this set is packed! Cable is pretty good as well. Thanks for the review as always.
Looks like a very good set. But it is worth 110,-€?
hey have you checked Artti R1? Since you seem to prefer warm neutral I think it might be worth checking out.
Love the silver cable! Looking like a great set! Thanks for sharing!
I noticed that decent gauge on that cable right away. It stand out for sure.
Between celest phoenixcall and hydro which one you recommend for rock music ?
That cable is a necklace! With that name, the squiglink could have been blue 😁. Sounds promising.
That sounds (and looks) pretty interesting. Thanks for the review
idk know how i feel about thicker cables but it looks nice. How on earth is a 10 driver set only $115? very impressive.
That cable looks amazing!
FYI everyone on ebay there is a virtually new calyx m player with original packaging.
Great sounding unit
I'm a little more interested in having one of this set than the Rhapsody I almost bought as an "experiment". Yeah, sure they are clearly not in the same price range... the hydro still seems to be kinda affordable and the cable really makes it a bit more "premium-feeling".
Fingers crossed, would love to see that Dusk!
I'm going to buy this one and do a review as well. This looks very promising.
Looks pretty good. Another awesome review
Happy Monday brother!
Seems like a really good offering for this price bracket.
Happy Monday HBB 🔥🔥😊😊
Sick!!!! Always appreciate it!
Awesome review ... Why so many BAs? ... Can you explain that more ?
You said that you dont to jazz OST and other music ghat doesnt have vocals to it. Is there something or a reviewer you'd rec for those that do listen to that type of music?
I can see the cam set up in screen reflection
That cable looks good af ngl
I've seen a lot of photos of the Hydro in what looks like a dark blue color, which looks good and matches the name. But on their site I only see a black color. Any idea if there's a blue one somewhere?
Another great review and now another brand I will consider. Thanks
would you get this or the hexa?
“The guetto scale” lol nice time stamp
Indeed the cable looks dope. This might be a good option.
for outside use BT earphones are g8, specially when, riding bike or bicycle. Sony xm4 is one of my favorite. i have a Bang & Olufsen - B&O Play - Earset. and itz more then great .
I think I have to consider this iems. Thanks for the video
Curious on how good these are as it is their flagship, not gonna buy tho since I'd rather save my money for something else.
I’ve never used a set with switches … I’m guessing for they’d be set once and left alone … couldn’t see me fiddling with them track to track … perhaps genre switching?
way to go for the hydro!
Is that ‘Hot’ written on the shell? Bit tacky, imo. Glad they’re nice in your ears where it matters.
I like the new review format, but miss the frame with scoring too. I guess we can't have it all!
Hoping that you would make a video on this set, lovely.
Wow that's a LOT of BAs. I wanted to upgrade from my Tin T4 but haven't come across a worthwhile hybrid.
The rhapsody and the trio sounds very similar (for me) and more affordable. Thanks
Can't say I really expected a decent set from this company after some of the past concerns.
2 DD 8 BA should have tons of potential. I will always be leary though that the reviewed set and the set I'd buy wouldn't match graph-wise. Hopefully, that won't be an issue, but it says something that is still on people's minds.
That cable looks great wow
This is amazing for the money!
Graph looks good! Thank you
Nice review as always.
Am always out and about for work so wireless is my jam. But having dip switches on such a higher priced iem is crazy
the $100-$200 market keeps getting better and better, not that long ago if you wanted the performance that you are getting at this price range today you had to spend probably twice as much.
Is it me or that cable looks thick as heck
Thanks for the video. Looks like a good value.
Looks solid but since I already own the Rhapsody I'm kinda hesitant to pull the strings on this one.
Happy Monday
Great review and very good price for quality iem.
HBB at the top of my feed so I click!
Been eyeing this one.
How this compare with Simgot Em6l or ea 500LM in sound quality?
Looks good. 💯
Looks like a nice set. I don't know exactly why but dip switches put me off a bit
Thanks for the video ☺️
The cable is indeed nice!
The Hydro's sensitivity is 102 dB which means that this IEM needs some power to drive it.
8 BA's and 2 dds will do that to you
ngl, kinda surprised $150 range is getting so good so fast
At first I thought this was a Linsoul exclusive. Seems it is not. Home the drivers are tuned a little better than in Rhapsody (which is not that bad).
I have the wired Sony extra bass earbuds. I was using them before I got into IEMs.
