How about CCA CSN?
I have both CCA C10 and 12. The 10 here sounds diff from your sample to my listening. Its like TFZ T2 but less bass. I have all 3. C12 has the best separation of the instruments and vocals --highly recommended for long music listening.
Why do you like CCA C10 more than C12? 🤔
Just got my CCA CKX today. Coming from someone who owned the CCA C10 I and also a heavy gigging musician, these ears sound phenomenal listening to music and also when I plugged into my amp head for a silent practice. I will see how they sound Sunday after facing all live instrumentation.
Wow, just the video I needed! I was trying to decide between the CA16 and CKX, and this video helped me decide on the CKX. Thanks!
Hey how's the iem sound?
I went in blind while I was ordering my first IEM online last night (impulsive Buy + I really wanted an Upgrade), just purely looking at budget and how much I wanted to spent, I chose C12 after 2 hours.
Now, anxiety kicks after I realized that I should have done some research and comparison before purchasing one (Kind of a huge Upgrade from whatever I'm using), thinking I might bought the wrong IEM, and it's my first Purchase.
I landed on this video after 3 hours of looking at other brands, sister company, the KZ, SHURE and etc.
When this video first started, my ears told me, B and D is out, a bit too much on the treble, would love some low end in my listening experience.
And I concluded :
- I like E for the low end, Bassy with a huge stage feeling to it.
- Love A for clarity, Stage feel, Punchy Bass, overall balanced.
- C was kind of in between, less bass compared to E, and not as pronounced treble as A.
in my case pretty much feels like a good pair for my personal music listening experience.
If I were to choose, A is 1st choice, C is 2nd, then E.
I was so relieved when I saw C12 is actually on C, and I just went HAM, and goes "And that's what I love to SEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!"
Thank you for the effort for putting this video together and giving me an idea on what this is. At least my Blind Luck didn't went to waste.
C12 is the clear winner here. I have this iem and it is very good in almost all genres, but i still prefer the moondrop ssp because of much controlled sibilance. I love moondrop ssp diffused neutral signature tuning.
Which one has better imaging, for gaming like valorant and apex?
@@thomasre9382 C12 is not good for gaming due to high sibilance. I prefer moondrop ssp in gaming.
@@excalibur92 Ok thank u
i'm a fan of that v shaped, aggressive shoutyness and punch the c12 has. does the chu have this, and if not what would you recommend as a budget upgrade for the c12?
This one of the best shot out review done by Zpolt since for me CCA's are the best budget IEM, I got C12 still happy how it performs.
Do you have other CCAs? Especially CKX, CA16, and C10 Pro?
To my ears, close fight between C10 and C12 for me. Most balanced of the set. Slight edge to the C12 but I can live with either.
I loved the CA16 and CKX shimmer on the highs, detailed mids (where the CA12 is a possible contender based on what I had hear on this test) and how clean the sound was but I am leaning to CA16 on this test as the sound stage felt little more wider but it close in my opinion compared to the CKX
C12 and c10 are very close but, im going to have to give the c12 the win!
Thank you for the videos! I have watched tons of them and I believe I will be going with the c12s.
I know it hard to believe me but I liked the A the most, and since I already have c12 (second best sharing with c16) I guessed it was the ckx an I'm glad I did since they coming my way in a couple of days. Thanks for the test.
Btw the B ( don't remember the model) are unlistenable imo. Sound like tin cans.
I like C&E. All others exhibit super painful highs exacerbated by my already bright headphones lol. I'm checking them out, thanks for this! Bass IEMs shootout next please lol TFZ No. 3, 19th Ed., and TFZ T2G would be a good start
for a video editor who needs comfort & flat sound, which one is better? cca ckx or cca c12?
C12,ckx for me, but ca16 also has a warm inviting sound
Yeah, itll just depend on your preference. All of them can work, pros and cons.
@@zpolt agreed.btw I picked up many iem's based on your reviews, very thankful for that, your're one of my fav youtubers.cheers!❤️
I like the most c10 and ckx.
Listening my zsn Pro X.
Cca c12 or starsea i want starsea as my upgrade from cca c12 which one is the best?
Which sounds better? Airpods pro or the kz zs10 pro?
In between c10 and c 12 which is best in term of bass I could nt get results
it's definitely the CKX or the C12 for me, the C12 might me more towards me currently but i definitely want to try the CKX more
Yes I agree with you. My best to worst: CKX, C12, CA16, C10, CS16
Stuck between CKX and C12 😩 uggh!
what should I buy?????
@@RockNRoll__ If you have money then I think it's better to go straight choosing Ckx
Listening on my C12s, and I knew I made the right choice. With them EQ'd, tips & cable replaced (16 core + no mic, up'd quality) I think I'll be happy for some time to come, till my next upgrade for sure.
That sounds great, I’m waiting for my C12, any day now they’ll be arriving, good to hear you are happy with them. My current favourite ain’t my iems (all of which are hybrids) is TRN ST1.
Which cable did you buy any link?
@@Dani-bq2cm Yinyoo cables are the best from what I've heard. Unfortunately, they're currently unavailable in my region, so I 'settled' for TRN T2's (16 core, type C in black). They're great for the price, and much softer than the previous generation.
Cables are a tertiary concern though, the IEM is primary, tips come next (I'd recommend silicone over foam for KZ/CCA as a daily driver, zpolt has a video on this), and finally your cable.
Make sure it's a cable with good material choice for the contact/core (copper + silver plated), with either 8 or 16 core count and NO MIC. The mic piece can reduce the quality of your audio experience.
Amazon, AliExpress, Lazada (careful of generic rebrands on ALL platforms)
I might want to buy C12 too. But, the budget is worth two recommended IEMs (by Zpolt) tho. They are KBEAR KS2 and KZ DQ6. Do you have any experience on those two?
@@wanaboed unfortunately no, I'm not familiar with either of their sounds, however, at this price range most brands are packing the same hardware. My advice, focus on what their implementation of that hardware is! What do you want out of your hardware, is the question. I'm using my C12s as a way of conditioning me to a more balanced listening experience, so my next upgrade can be a more professional choice! My first pair of IEMs were they KZ ZSN pros, so I got used to that very influenced/manipulated sound. It's fun to listen to, but very fatiguing!
Best way to do this, is to go through listening test videos of each of the pieces, and see what people think. Zpolt is fantastic with his commentary/options, I trusted what he says about C10s and C12s, I'm happy as can be!
Example: I got C12s as I wanted to move away from the basshead 'KZ sound', even though they're sister companies, Clear Concept has evidently decided to do their own thing. Still V shaped curve like KZ, but a lot more of a balanced listening experience with stronger mids than the former. Their design philosophy is also clearly much more minimalistic, I don't want to be wearing a power-ranger in my ears after all.
Burn in can really help CCA-C10?
If so, how long?
i can't distinguish between c10 & c12 🤨 they're both really good. ckx sounds the best for me. listening on aria
It was between the Ckx and the c10 for me which is a, testament of how good the c10 are for the money.
Excellent Comparison👍👍👍 🙂
C10 indeed one of my favs for value.
Because of zpolt I purchased c10 in Nov / 2019 still running but my buddy has. C12 it quite nice for me
What is the difference between c10 and c10 pro?
For me the C12 and CA16 are the clear winners(Edit: I only count the CA16 if they sound like they do in another video here and not this video). The C10 sounds good too but sounds seems a bit thin at times. I got the C12 since it was on sale for $32 and couldn't be happier. KZ had me worried since I wasn't a fan of their treble that much so I did want to gamble on the CA16 but after getting the C12 and now hearing the CA16 comparison here I see it has a very similar presentation. I am going to have to grab a pair. Idk if I am crazy or not but I may actually prefer the C12 to my Westone w40's. The C12 doesn't seem technically as good but the tuning is so well balanced allowing for enough detail without even approaching anything fatiguing.
Ouvindo do Tin t2 plus, eu preferi o CKX e C12, CA16 parece meio escuro, C10 mais congestionado e CS16 tem uma afinação estranha.
Hey opera om1 or blon 03?
Hey Derrick. Can you make sound test battle like this: TFZ T2 vs TFZ S2 Pro vs CCA CKX vs CCA CA16 vs CCA C12?
Sounds like an MP3 ripped from a 70s 8 track left out in the sun for 20 years.
C12 order already ❤️❤️
can I ask a question. I wonder and care about your opinions
Hey brother can you review the Fiio FD1?
Greeting,
I almost bought my first ones IEM, KZ ZSN PRO X and I had no experience with similar headphones before them, I was thrilled to hear them for the first time but also irritated my ears with too loud sound and aggressive high frequencies, but I soon got used to it. I am a musician and I create and playing music, so I have experience with many monitors speakers and headphones of larger format such as AKG K712 PRO, so I generally liked the sound ZSN PRO X. Now it came to me by Friday that I can buy very cheap CCA C12, CCA C10 PRO and KZ ZS10 PRO, and since I don't plan to change those headphones later, I'm interested in which ones are of the highest quality and is there a clear difference between them and mine ZSN PRO X which I already own? I listened to a lot of videos about them and read a lot of reviews
and I can say that I am more confused than at the very beginning. Please help me. thanks in advance
Zsn pro x need 8-16 core wide bore tip+ dac am dongle Realtek 5686 thank me later u won't need other hifi monitor for low cost iem that beat higher cost iem in some cases
Edit: plus burn in 1st days 10hr for 5-7days straight with 7-40hz burn in song=wide soundbstage +no piercing high,vocal and mids is in front and separated lively, smooth bass+with mentioned dac amp dongle. I swear to god I'm happy. Was ditching zs10 pro. Sorry broken english
is there any recommendation for the warmest iem in the 50 dollar price range..
I also want to know this as well, Im tired of all the treble piercing IEMs
hello! i would just like to ask for help. I can't decide between the blon bl03 and cca c12. I wil use it mostly for music production. Or if have a better recommendation, i would gladly appreciate that.Thank you in advance!
Hopefully he will help answer but Idk if I would choose between those two for mastering or "music production". Personally I find the C12 technically better than the BL-03 and would be a slightly better choice for your purpose between the two but they both can hide some flaws in your production. You could have something sibilant in your track and think it is acceptable or not as bad as it is using those. If you are trying to stay with these types of iems and price range I would recommend waiting for the CKX to go on sale for $60 and get that. I don't find it as pleasurable to listen to as the C12 but it seems to be less V shaped and it doesn't mask sibilance like the BL-03 and C12 can. The mids also seem a touch less scooped which may help you not boost stuff in the mids more than they should be. Imo the CKX is better suited for work and the others are better suited for enjoying music.
@@mrcrunch8000 Thank you very much bro! I really appreciate your help! I will take note of this!
Im listening on a pair of Beyerdynamic 770pro. driven by a home built and home etched duel valve amp.
I like CKX and CA16
I bet the CA16 sounds great with the added Beyer treble.
Anyone's know any iem frequency like CA16 ,and LARK
could someone explain to me how these soundtests are recorded? is that really even a HINT on how the headphones perform? i mean ... i am not a complete idiot, this is of course limited to the current setup (and codec and video quality) that you use while listening, but how has this been recorded? how good translates that to the actual sound? 🤔
I personally own C12 and while blind listening was wondering why B iem sounded "literally like mine". Results just killed me)
What's happening with B? The balance is all messed up lol.
Anyway in my country CKX is $66, C10 is $23, C12 is $30, CS16 is $100, and CA16 is $59.
For the price, c12 and c10 are really really good. CA16 is warm and a bit boomy. I was a bit confused with CKX though since it was right next to the unbalanced CS16 making it hard to judge.
Pretty happy with my BL03 right now. If I do want to upgrade, I would rather move up to the likes of Aria or T4 rather than CCA.
All song name please 😁🙏
Hi zpolt which one should i buy.....kz zsn pro x or blon 03 .... I prefer loud bassy music
Definitely blon 03 the kz bit harsh on high
@@ramzix5890 Which IEM do you recommend for a warm but punchy sounding where you can feel the sound in your ears, I don't like bright sound as I already have KZ ZSN pro. I want something which sounds way better but not bright and also I want good quality sub and mid bass
Blon bl03. It's really good i use it more than my kz zsn pro x
@@sorcerermax5111 blon bl03
I have C12 and C10pro. I prefer C10pro. I'd like to try CKX someday.
C and D for me, listening in a C12.
C12 has all the clarity and not fatiguing sound.
CKX is the most detailed without being hursh. The best for me. CA16 the closest even if is a little retained.
that sound more right, period. but for cs16 is maybe bad contact for R channel, because bass lack some pressure snd fullness
it also has quite a lot of nasty popping to me
I realized theres an export issue. CS16 though indeed has a diff sig.
@@sdm789 i meant in this recording, sorry i dont own a cs16 myself.
CKX & C12 very good. 👍
С12 the best 😉
@@user-mk9qr2kw1y пользуешься именно C12?
@@T1mofey
При том достаточно давно.
На данный момент это уже не основные мои наушники. Но именно из семейства ССА они мне наиболее нравятся.
@@user-mk9qr2kw1y у мня сейчас две модели основные - TRI Starsea и KZ ZAX. Вот думаю CCA CKX ещё приобрести.
@@T1mofey
И как тебе Starsea? Какие жанры наиболее тебе с ними заходят?
Тоже хотел одно время себе эту модель взять, но что-то меня останавливало. Правда и до сих пор проскакивает мысля - а может всё таки купить? Но останавливает осознание того что они будут похожи на что-то то что у меня уже есть. Это как из того что у меня есть ССА С12 и они похожи по общей подаче на BGVP dmg и на Nicehck nx7mk3. Но всё же С12 проигрывают dmg и nx7mk3. Но это заметно когда вечером дома в спокойной обстановке слушаешь с более менее нормального источника. В городе, на бегу - на ходу, да ещё с недорогого плеера или со свистка разница ощущается весьма условно. Да и в конце концов у каждого свои вкусовые предпочтения.
Only prefer:
1st: E
2nd: C
3rd: A
B isn't definitely for at most...
Ckx c12 are very good
Ca16 is too much dark
Good c10 for price
C12 super and clear
CA16 fits me most!
I didn’t like B, the others are ok, even though E is a little too dark, but I can live with dark better than I can with super bright.
Listen with vk4 best sound in the test is c, not good sound is b
man the CS16 sounded like absolute butt
Right? Sounded like a bluetooth speaker inside a bucket of sand XD
C12 is the best, clear vocal ( you can even hear it in this comparasion), not muffled, and open sounding. I have two c12s and sold my C10 which is too smooth and not good for song with female vocal.
The closest competitor for c12 is Zsx
C12
C12 is the king.......
Ckx is most balance and natural c12 is more v shape and fun sounding
C12 definitely...
CKX then (C12 🤔CA16) 😂
CA16
Why do you like CCA C10 more than C12? 🤔
CS 16 more clear
C-A=D-E-B
1. C12
2. CKX
3. CA16
4. C10
5. CS16
My opinion
C12 and CA16 are sweet ❤️❤️… and CS16 is the worst of all 🤢
C12 is ok
C12 sound much better 🙂
Ckx has more sound and clarity to be honest. The bass is pretty good. CA16 and CS16 are the worst. C12 and D10 are under same category
Wuhoo! I’ve got C12 & CA16; picked C or D for C12 and E to be CA16. CS16 is horrible. I’m listening on CCA CSN
The b sound Very bad for my ears i like the sound of c and E though
I hated b and d like seriously ear piercing and hollow
Ckx 2:35 3:28
C12 2:45 3:36
C10 2:53 3:41
C12 wins
Oof. Sorry.
Despite the whole approach of responding sound quality of earbuds through the sound train of :
music source - amp - earbud - microphone - youtube compression - youtube decompression - your dummy phone - amp - your earbuds
is absolutely HELL STUPID, we do see a huge difference between them. This difference had nothing to do with actual sound representation you would get. It may give a very rough idea of their tonality.
Listened on my Android cellphone and on fiio x7 ii with cca c12.
C12 and ckx sound ok. C10 and ca16 acceptable. cs16 terrible.
And... What?
DAMI MONG ALAM
B sounds trash for me
same
C12 and C10s are simply mind blowing , though I prefer c10 for a bit more treble and its going to be my first iem , wish me luck @zpolt 🥰
You would better pick C12
