CRA

EDC Pro and CRA are okay

I had the original CCA CRA and lost one of the earbuds. I heard they silently revised the sound signature and rereleased it, so I never bought another one. Still miss that set.

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.

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.

I'm having 7hz salnotes zero. The original ones. I like its quality but sometimes it feels boring. I was also having cca cra's those are kz's v shaped and are very peaky and tiring for me. Thinking to see what higher price iems can offer. After watching crinacle recent video. I was thinking to buy TH Zero reds around 50-60$. But found out it dethroned by ew200 and kleans. In klean and ew200 the problem is these are single DD. I really wanna experience something like hybrid drivers. So i was attracted towards reds more. Also recently the options like 7hz eula, kz duonics ultra are being added which scores higher in jaysaudio ranking list and makes the decision more tough. Or should i save some money and directly go towards hexa or ew300 territory? I really wanted to experience hybrid drivers implementation. Also i dont wanna buy multiple iems i dont have time and space to keep switching iems. I like the smooth sound signature, good instrument separation and soundstage. As a background i have used soundmagic e10c and monk+, i like both of them v shape of e10c too. \*\*Also I dont like doing eq's i am tired of doing it still i cant find right tuning for my ears. Mostly i adjust with the factory calibrated tuning which maker had thought will be likable for most the customers. # TL;DR I use **7Hz Salnotes Zero** and like its smooth sound but find it a bit boring. I don’t enjoy harsh, peaky V-shaped IEMs like **CCA CRA**. I want a **single, higher-quality IEM** with smooth tuning, good separation, and soundstage, **without EQ**. I was considering **Truthear Zero Red**, but saw **EW200, Klean, 7Hz Eula, KZ Duonics Ultra** rank higher. I want to **experience hybrid drivers** rather than another single DD. Now I’m wondering if it’s worth buying something around **$50–60** or just **save and jump to Hexa/EW300 tier** as a clear upgrade. I don’t want to keep switching IEMs — I want one great, long-term set.

Their impact can't be overstated. In my country, Costa Rica, they quickly became super popular with musicians and regular folk alike (even if they are not flat IEMs lol). To the point where musician friends would comment on my KZ ZSN PRO, ask where I got them, and such. Random people such as bus drivers and pedestrians would comment and mention they knew how good they were. Bang for the buck when they came out was unmatched in the mainstream. Personally, after an awfully disappointing buy in the Shure SE-315, I lost faith in IEMs. The KZ ZSN PRO were way more fun to listen to for 1/10 of the price. Then I got the CCA CRA and was marveled at what could be achieved for twenty bucks in the IEM world. I gifted a friend a pair of CCA CRA, and they became their gold standard. No wireless earbud they have had since then has compared to those CCA CRA. KZ is responsible for me now owning my endgame, the 7Hz Timeless II. I am probably not going any deeper in the rabbit hole but you can bet your ass KZ got me gifting IEMs to my friends who use shitty wireless buds lol.

The 7Hz Salnotes Zero or Moondrop LAN would be the best picks for treble. CCA CRA & KZ ZSN Pro would be what i consider a treble cannons
