CCA CRA original one is amazing, the sub bass and upper mid dip with sparkly treble made it sound so atmospheric and emotional. I get that upper mids give alot of detail and forward vocals, but it can take away the whole vibe and depth of the sound. Especially when you turn up the volume on cra it feels more intense without being shouty. Idk what driver material they used but it feels super thin and resonant which gave it more "x-factor" to me. Sadly after the driver+tuning change, it became shouty and sibilant lol.
Tell me why Zenith was the best! JK lol the high-tier all-BA are great as well but overpriced. ZX12 Pro X is not though and amazing with some EQ, great neutral-bright hybrid.
It is a shame 2 of my favs aren't for sale anymore- CRA rev1 and PR2 rev1.
Yup, Airpods pro 2 is easily the best apple product in my opinion. The ANC is so freaking good and I have been using it for more than 2 years. Still going strong.
The sound quality is also really good. Most of the time I use them instead of my iems (salnotes, blon, castor bass, cca cra and koss porta pro).
But recently I got the kefine klean and I have to say it blows every iem I own out of the water. The details retrieval is really great.
Not just that model but sub brand models like the qkz vk4 and cca cra also got downgraded after positive reviews and the qc is still bad, both for iems, and cables.
I would go with those for the absolute budget vs kz. I've had QC issues with my kz edx, cca cra and qkz vk4. But I would go with one of the over 2 for a lightning port iphone + item as the best budget price/performance.

Budget gaming pick, but poor cables and polarizing bass.
