Bro. You are right. The CCA Hydro is really.
Extremely happy with it.
With it I'm hearing sounds in music I've listened to for years yet never heard so clearly before. Every bass note, hi-hat, tom etc is distinct yet natural. Voices are great.
The sound stage is an upgrade from my KZ ZS10 Pro X. Feels larger and more layered.
Love the switches. I use On-On-On-Off most often cos it feels the most balanced to me. But if I just want to feel the bass when working out then I go On-On-Off-Off.

I got recommend Zenith meh?

While it is nice... I do not necessarily think it is better than CCA Hydro though, but it is suitable for gaming and movies I guess due to is open back nature. The weird thing is when I go out, I actually bring ZS10 Pro out with Creative SXFI AMP. Dun feel comfortable bring out the nicer IEMs... ever bring out Castor Pro also.

Dun like it if accidentally drop and leave a scratch on it.. or worse... damage it.

Recently I also been listening less to IEMs, instead focus on rotating between my over ear headphone, Fidelio X3, Sennheiser HD600, HD599SE or Philips SHP9500. Both X3 and SHP95000 I have replace them with thicker cooling gel ear pads.

Best to buy during lazada birthday?

I never buy on Lazada only on Shopee since they always have some vouchers to collect.

 

[BlackWing1977]

The ear tips is really another rabbit hole man.. you buy once dun seems to be a lot.. but as you keep buying then you calculate the total you spend.. knn I think can easily get another decent IEM to play already.

Ya lo hoot the Zenith to bring out instead of the more expensive IEMs

Wonder if tuning can be digitally copied. some 1 dd only iem cost more than 1k, so basically 95% of the cost is tuning. Copy then mass produced into $50 iem.
