[@boonie3]

I'm honestly blown away but how good these sound and with their price I might just get a couple of extra pairs to keep around. I don't think anything under $50-70 comes close at this time unless you go with the Aria and even then I've never been a huge fan of the Moondrop sound. The Treble was a bit of a concern before I bought them but I have not had any fatigue issues with them.

Different kind of sound and awkward fit. 3x the price. Don't get me wrong -I love the T2 Plus but CRA can go toe to toe with it.

[@nelion95]

@@PrimeAudioReviews noted, any recommendation which one should i buy? and tin hifi if you would

[@TheMartiansLoveKuato]

Note weight can be a little on the thinner side, but good resolution/detail. You feel the sub bass but only when present in the track. My main complaint is the 5KHz peak can fatigue for longer sessions, but there are far worse IEMS. Upper treble is sparkly, can make some poorly mastered songs sound a little noisy/gritty/not as clean: well produced songs will be airy and fun. If you have $20 lying around, then get the CCA CRA.

[@sorcerermax5111]

Any other IEM that plays like CCA CRA but with a thicker note weight and natural timbre?

[@TheMartiansLoveKuato]

​@@sorcerermax5111 I think the SeeAudio Midnight would not have the 5KHz peak. I don't own them so I can't say for sure. I have the Blon 03, MELE, and Starfield to name a few. CRA is light, and has good fit for me, I bought a second pair to mod (now that there are some mod guides for the CRA). I bought a cheap upgrade cable for it. I like metal, busy songs, any song with decent sub-bass, and orchestra music on it. The upper treble extension is welcome, you here various little details that you wouldn't here with other IEMs that downplay past 10KHz. It is great detail for a Dynamic Driver. I haven't noticed any timbre oddities, I think everything sounds like it should, more or less, just a matter of how forward something is and how quick the note fades (if there isn't data/sound recorded in the track, the DD isn't going to linger at all). Soundstage is wide (left-right) but flat. They are easy to drive, which make it tempting to turn the volume up and that can be a problem with the 5KHz peak, but loud volumes can be a problem with any headphone. They really have no business sounding as good as they do for the price. Between the CRA, EDX Pro, and EDS, the CRA is the clear standout for having a nozzle filter that works with the driver. If you don't get the details, then pair with any half decent dongle DAC (Apple Dongle USB C for example).

[@sorcerermax5111]

@@TheMartiansLoveKuato Okay, I ordered one. It'll come tomorrow. I am not a fan of IEMs with thin note weight but lets see how it goes. I have many tips and cables to roll so will experiment

[@TheMartiansLoveKuato]

@@sorcerermax5111 It isn't super thin or anything, just a tad leaner than my other IEMs. But also more detailed than many of my other IEMs. Give yourself sometime to get use to how they sound and find what songs suit them best. The packaging is sparse: three sizes of eartips, cable, and the CRA IEMs (with medium ear tips pre attached). I haven't felt the need to switch to other ear tips I own yet.

[@GIChow]

@@TheMartiansLoveKuato Hi, I found this headfi review "what CRA fails to capture, which BL-03 easily portrays, is the natural feel of the vocals..the vocals are more detailed and nuanced in the CRA. However, most of the time, it fails to capture the emotion that the singer wants to express in a song" - does that ring true with you. Sounds like these are clear and detailed but miss note weight and have an unnatural 5k peak so wonder why they are getting so much attention (zpolt, vortex, bggar, honest audiophile). Overall what's your best rec under $50 so far for both clear detailed sound plus natural full vocals - or would you say it's horses for courses (just read another of your comments comparing to Blon BL03) with what you have heard up to now. T3+ seems to be often rec'd but not heard it myself..

[@Mitsukiiii.Kogaaa]

Ordered these a few days ago and so excited! Got them for $10! Do you think they need cable upgrades or is the cable good in itself?

The cable quality and sound is just fine. You might want to upgrade for something with better handling and looks. But don't expect a drastic change in the sound.

[@kimjustin3165]

It is very difficult to upgrade the headphone cord at this price, otherwise the cost will increase. Think about how much it will cost.

[@jtechreviews2021]

Hey man! Great review! BTW, which has better bass? this or the EDX HBB? :)

[@GIChow]

Sounds like a bargain.. but from a headfi review "what CRA fails to capture, which BL-03 easily portrays, is the natural feel of the vocals..the vocals are more detailed and nuanced in the CRA. However, most of the time, it fails to capture the emotion that the singer wants to express in a song" - does that ring true with you and if so any other recs for natural realistic male and female vocals.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

No, I don't agree with that. BL03 mids are slightly more forward but as a result, it has a smaller soundstage and not as good detail retrieval. CRA is very dependent on a good fit and seal so tip rolling is a must. Get that right and you'll be amazed how good CRA sounds.

[@GIChow]

@@PrimeAudioReviews Thanks for the feedback, very useful 👍

[@razetw]

I see the zen product there. What is your benchmark dac and amp for all your reviews? I tried my CRA with HipDAC ver 1, S9 pro, Venture Electronics odyssey HD and AVANI, Cxpro, and another dongle called X1. CRA + X1 was the best combo. Tied for synergy is S9 pro single ended and the Odyssey HD...No need for $90 hidiz or even higher ifi gear. HipDAC single ended out was actually my 2nd least favorite. It's usually great with all iems. It butchered the CRA like it rolled off the top and bottom I don't know. Didn't test balanced out of the HipDAC which is almost always better experience because I figured 99% of ppl who buy the CRA aren't the ppl dropping hundreds on balanced topology for a ultra budget iem.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

I tend to switch DACs often, depending on which IEMs/headphones or DACs I'm reviewing. I prefer the sound of the iFi Micro iDSD Signature but I don't like needing to use 2 USB-C cables (1 for data and 1 for power). Zen DAC is convenient and sounds nice, plus it has single-ended and balanced outputs so I use it quite a lot. Then again, if I'm using active speakers, I prefer a DAC with balanced XLR outputs like the Singxer SDA-2 or Topping DX7 Pro.

Now you're showing me a single DD for less than $15. I do own the Blon03 and my major complaint with those is that its lacking treble clarity and at times, sound a little dull. How do these compare to the Blon03?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

CRA will give you the clarity that you're looking for. Compared to the BL03 it sounds cleaner and has a larger soundstage.

are you telling me this is the one around 14 dollars to give the best experience listening to AOT s4 pt2 opening?

[@chromehearts29]

Does this have bt? Hybrid technology basically.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

It does not have BT.

@ how is the bass? I am a bass lover. Does it have deep bass? The type booming your head

[@rttle_snke8802]

Already have a DQ6....does it make sense to get these?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

If you like the idea of a lighter sound with more spacious midrange and slightly less bass, it's definitely worth it.

How does this compared to CCZ coffee bean?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Much leaner, way less bass. Coffee bean is warmer and thicker but still has good technicalities. CRA is more spacious and lighter.

How is this compared to blon -03 Cca cra -18$(1400 INR) Blon 03 - 26$(2000 INR) in my region

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

BL03 is warmer and more musical. I would choose BL03 for my personal use although CRA has better technical performance.

[@Rahmalho]

Does enyone found an AutoEq for the CCA CRA?

[@jansvasta2146]

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 treble. My new favourite! This is just my opinion, keep that in mind. They are not too great without the recommended EQ fix, then CRA is undoubtedly better.

@@PrimeAudioReviews which iem is best for English hip hop and heavy metal tracks..

[@razetw]

@@ChillMusic15-z5m CRA absolutely. 03 has the bass for electric bass guitar but it's not as engaging as the CRA. CRA also has the treble extension for guitar squeals and 20th fret solos that metal demands that the 03 can't compete with. Both are great but metal is CRA hands down. 14$ CRA out of the box with stock tips and cable is ready to go. 24-35$ blon-03 REQUIRES aftermarket cable and eartips. That'll more than than double the cost of the CRA stock. CRA wins again.

[@ChillMusic15-z5m]

@@razetw Awesome dude...Thanks a lot for your explanation..👍🏻👏

[@TheMartiansLoveKuato]

The Blon Bl 03 is a warm blanket: it has great warm tone and will play like a childhood memory. It needs the right tips, I have had good luck with the Spinfit CP-100, but others may need longer tips to get a good seal, and an upgrade cable because the included cable is no good. If you listen to a lot of vocals or older music (before digital recording), then it would be a good choice. The CCA CRA is a cup of coffee: it will delight with clean, fast presentation. It isn't going to bloat the bass. It doesn't slam or rumble, but it displays sub-bass well. I particularly like how well drums and cymbals play. It has the superior driver and will play details that the Blon 03 can't keep up with. I wouldn't listen to any low bitrate MP3s on the CRA.

Hi sir cca c12 vs this which one is more in overall sounding etc etc. Ahh too much to said

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Yes, but I haven't listened to it for so long so I'm not sure how it compares to recent releases.

[@estrella4677]

They changed the tuning now it's way different sound. I still prefer original cra more than current release. Very unique fast decay driver with two way extension (subbass and upper treble) that no other $100 iem managed to replicate.

It depends what flavour you like. CRA is leaner and detailed with more treble. ZSN Pro X is warmer, has more bass and smoother highs.
