@@eshay000 well it depends on what type of sound you prefer. I have both ZSTX and CRA. First thing is that zst x is now really old. Almost 4 year older model. CRA us just launched. Cra has better bass, uts tighter and is not loose, ZSTX has bloated bass which i dont like. CRA treble performance is exceptional in this price range. Nothing can come close to CRA in treble extension. Mids are cleaner in CRA, Although zstx have more body in vocals, but they lack clarity
great review! i love how acoustic guitar string sound in cra! im surprised you dont compare with zex pro & blon bl03, cos a lot buzz about cra with these two. also with hzsound heart mirror. looking forward for blind sound test including cra, zex pro & blon bl03.
Treble sensitive here but still bought the CRA for the dirt cheap price. Got it for 500 php (10 usd). Vocals are clear but not forward enough for my taste. Still sibilant for me, but eq and tips help. Love the bass, esp the sub bass rumble. Soundstage is good, imaging is good, layering is good. All in all, for 10 usd, no brainer.
Here are my eq adjustments: 575 hz, band pass, Q 1.0, gain +1.2 1555 hz, band pass, Q 1.2, gain +1.2 3750 hz, peak, Q 4.0, gain -4 8100 hz, peak, Q 4.2, gain -3.5 9500 hz, high shelf, Q 2.75, gain -3.3
Got them yesterday.. expected more from the treble. Bass is good tho. For the price they are good. I prefer Final e500 at this price rangemore it's smooth and the resolution, seperation and balance at full volume is the best I've ever heard so far @20$.
@@JJ-hq1eu I'm not sure exactly, i just have a box full of tips from all the IEMs that i've bought over the years and I looked for some silicone tips with a slightly smaller bore. If I was to guess based on their colour I think they are from some Sony IEMs.
What a good analysis, as always! 😍 I have a question that goes around in my head. What would be the best IM headset of 64ohm or more for my dac, but that does not exceed 50 dollars? Thank you and I look forward to your next videos with great enthusiasm
I ordered mine yesterday. Arriving today. To think that the quality is amazing for the price, with the 1 DD and a thin diaphragm. Definitely a Chfi winner. Lets hope things improve for CCA in 2022. I am sure with the upgrade in the cable. Things can only sound better.
Which one is more better in sound stage, sound seperation, imaging, lows, highs & mids and have more versatility with a balanced sound output? CCA CSN VS CCA CRN pls reply 🙏
hey zpolt, which one would you prefer? CCA CRA vs Blon Bl03 vs KZ ZEX vs CCA NRA? I am confused with these ones.. I give preference to clarity the most, bass isn't the problem for me. Which one would you recommend?
I liked it when you used to score bass treble soundstage why did u stop that. Like for u used to say bass 4.25 vocal 4.25 treble 4 sound stage 4 etc. Plese bring it back.
I would take the ZEX pro (with EQ) over these all day. ZEX pro has better mids, I find them more natural and clear, electric guitars sound much awesome. Same with the bass, I absolutely love the ZEX pro's bass tuning, it is clean and lets the mids shine while still producing nice rumble, while the CRA has more bass but also way more treble, so the bass does not feel as clean. Treble on the CRA is very detailed, but can be a too much at higher volumes. In the other hand, ZEX pro's treble sounds way tamer and is also quite detailed and natural (after EQ fix). ZEX pros fit my ears perfectly after a cable mod and isolate way better than CRA. ZEX pros might have a bit bigger stage, too. EQ really does wonders for the ZEX pro, fixes thin mids and weird trele. My new favourite!
Received these on the morning of 1st Jan, the best new year in a long time! The bass is quite nice but the treble is too peaky for me, hopefully, the DQ6s will remedy this (graph suggests so anyway). Also, the tone and timbre though better than other KZs is still not correct on the highs. Nitpicking further, harmonic distortion is not controlled so high volume listening is out of the question, sounstage depth directly in front is poor
@@thunder12345 Fitting is worse than EDX/V90/CKX Insertion depth is better than those. CRA has the best nozzle width and length although it's is deeper which means it doesn't disappear in your ears and stick out a bit
I wish I hadn't bought this one. Got caught up with the hype. Mid-bass is lighter than sub-bass. I guess that's good for EDM, but for my playlist I wish there was more weight in the mid-bass. The note weight in general is on the thin side for me. It helps in the instrument separation, but I'm not sure I'm willing to sacrifice tonality for separation. I think this depends a lot on the purpose (monitoring vs. enjoyment), and the playlist/genre. I had the same impression as that musician/reviewer who said "Where's the bassist?".
Hello zpolt, what would you recommend me to buy for immersion and listening to classical music? Cca cra, nicehck db1, kz zs5, KBear os1 pro or kz zst, zst x? I would be using them on playing open world games and listening to music.
Which one to choose for gaming KZ EDX PRO or CCA CRA? Reply me... Iam confused. it's gonna be my first IEM'S looking for alround performance for this price around 1300 (with mic)
I'm more of a vocal head and I used the vk4 the 1.5 one, compared to this is vk4 still better or this one is better? It's hard to get the vk4 2.0 here unfortunately
Hello did you found the best tip for it and another question incase cable broke does changing the cable to KZ SPC upgrade cable gives a difference to sound it produce or do you have alternative cable for it thanks in advanced :)
This is interesting. Planning to buy either this or EDX Pro for a beater IEM for workouts. Thanks for the review! Looking forward to a soundtest vs. EDX Pro, maybe even vs. the legendary BLON03!
Which one should I get between the Db1 and Cra if I'm looking for something that has good vocals, able to do good separation, less emphasis on bass and good resolution ? Mostly listening to Jpop and Hipop
from u/Bibingka_Malagkit on reddit: I still hold the Quarks as the best IEMs under $20 in my book as of the moment BUT that is mainly due to my preference; though the CRA is great value for money, the Quarks are also the same and have the sound signature that I like. As I mentioned in my post, I'm treble sensitive so there's still some fatigue with using the CRA wherein with the Quarks, I don't feel any at all. That's why I use the Quarks as my sleep buds. I'm not a bass head too that's why the bass levels on the Quarks are good for me. Both are comfortable in my case, but the Quarks almost disappear in my ears, especially when I switched the tips to Spinfits CP100's and the fact that they're very small. The only advantage in my case that I see with the CRA is the replaceable cable. If you want something energetic and you have tolerance for treble or you want that sparkly highs, the CRA might be better for you.
Bro. The new qkz zax 2 just came out i think today, the design is super identical to zex but tuning wise i think its complete garbage considering many qkz I've heard sounds kinda like edx but worse maybe this one isn't, we never know
@@zpolt you have alot of experience in this field .. I've seen alot of ur videos...this is my 1st audiophile iem purchase.. which one would u recommend?
zex pro - a bit bassy, really natural sub mids are soo good ngl trebles are a but of a shame but you can use autoeq cca cra really bassy, i like it middle area are well separated ( same to zex) trebles more natural and separated
