CCA (Clear Concept Audio) - CRA Series

EDC Pro and CRA are okay

CCA CRA, left driver stopped working but they’re still somewhere in my basement

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.

CCA CRA. So GD bloated. I literally pulled them out of my ears before going back in to finish a quick review. There are people who love them, and good for them. 1,000% not for me.

Downgrading PR2 was not deliberate but after running out of stock of certain component, due to unavailability KZ sourced the component from elsewhere which changed the whole tuning. Same thing happened with CCA. Their mistake is that they should have labelled PR2 to something like PR2 alternate version or some other name to notify customers that it's not the exact same PR2.

That's not true. No company world like to ruin their reputation by engaging in malpractices which would be obvious in the public.

Wow more than me! My favs are ZS12 Pro X, Zenith, PR2 (black mesh), and Vader. How do you like the ZA12 and Hydro? I tried to get a ZA12 but it was a scam listing so I got a ZSN Pro X instead lol, at least it was free. Oh, and original CCA CRA, one of my favorite DDs to this day.

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.

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.

My first one, it just broke, it was the only one I had..... (My first one just broke, it was the only one I had...) CCA CRA Model

CCA CRA is really good. Check it out. The sound is balanced and just right.
