KZ Saga Review : Better Shelf, Better Sound? vs. KZ Castor // CCA Trio

[@realojas981]

So which is good comfortable

[@emanuellugo1540]

Nice review bro , I wanna a buy a new iem with good bass and I don’t know what to buy between the saga and the Vader or go straight to the QKZ x hbb.

[@duylan69]

It depends on you, if you are sensitive to treble the qkz x hbb is no doubt. There are peaky treble on them, but still capture decent details on mid and high. It'd be a boomy and smooth on. The same thing can be said about the cca Trio (all switches down) If you can handle treble and want a more balanced sound, Vader will deliver that.

Great review. Got my castor pro bass as well. I got the saga balance and it does feel musical but for certain female voice its a bit sharp or sibilance. Since you got the mt5 with same price range. Is mt5 better than this or this is better?😅

[@duylan69]

I don't think the MT5 offer something different in the treble region, they still have sharp mid and sparky treble that peaks some times. The only thing that separates the two is the bass shelf, the MT5 has less sub-bass. There for the sound will be cleaner

So far i tried a lots of old pairs kz trn cca and these new kz. I tried one my friends expensive iem called qdc fitear superior, they are perfect...its like around 180usd though😅

[@duylan69]

If you want a warmer sound less peaks then try CCA Trio or Wyvern Abyss. You don't need to spend that huge amount of money for the qdc fitear tho. Close to that tuning can be the Ziigaat Nuo

Cables doesnt focus on upper treble nor lower;)

[@duylan69]

I don't know man, it just work for me. Use the copper cable and it becomes less harsh. Affect the volume you say? Have you tried it yourself. I don't know, just said what I felt and got out of them. The ZSX Pro I got have way too much energy and I tried to tame that down, ear tips, cables and sources. All of them worked as I check them separately. Same ear tips, same source, different cables// same ear tips, same cable, different sources// same cable, same source, different ear tips. They just worked. the source affect them most, then ear tips, then cable. But the cable did reduce the harshness on that pair

@@duylan69 You just believe, in blind tests you would fail, copper could sound slightly warmish and silver slightly bright;) Everything else is just believing;)

[@duylan69]

Isn't that what I said? If you have a too bright IEMs bind them with copper cable is better, because it does not add to the "already" bright sound and make them more harsh?

[@bladecup]

@@duylan69 you said in the video "upper treble" coloration is minimal barely noticable;) cable doesnt change upper treble nor bring harsh nor increase clarity or bass;) For people yes maybe, this is more believing side;)

[@duylan69]

​@bladecup I don't think I said that it increases the bass or clarity tho. But when using the copper cable the sibilance get shorten a bit and there for less harsh to my ears. And on the way of trying to figure thing out by EQing, those sibilance often come from the region of around 15k, if I lower them 2-3dB the sibilance disappear. That's why I stated upper treble is tame down when I notice that the sibilance get down. Could be believing or could be because of me being sensitive but it's pretty there to my ears. A cable with a good dac built in or a warmer source is a better choice to get rid of all that but when it comes to cable, copper is recommended for me
