CliveT Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Looking at IEM's for occasional use as still playing mainly with an amp and the 2 most popular seem to be KZ and CCA KZ ZST or KZ ZSTX look very good value at £18.99 on Amazon. Is there much difference? I've read the ZSTX is louder. The KZ do generally get excellent reviews for the cost on Youtube. CCA C10 is just over twice the price at £38.99 with the CCA C12 a little more. Are the CCA worth the extra over the KZ or would you recommend something else entirely?

paul_5 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I’m not familiar with either of those models, but I bought a pair of ZST10s when my old sennheisers died and we’re then discontinued. The ZST10s sound amazing and fit surprisingly well. They’re now my ‘go to’ for my MacBook, iPod, practice amp; in fact anything with a headphone socket! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman68 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I Can’t comment on KZ as I personally haven’t used them, but I do have a pair of CCA C12’s & am very impressed with the sound quality & separation of drivers. A vocalist friend uses KZ’s & is equally impressed with the sound quality? The build looks very similar between these brands.. It took a while to find comfortable buds for these IEM’s & unfortunately I suffered from a couple of ear infections, constantly pushing the buds further in to my ear canal to get better bass response.. So in the end, I bit the bullet & bought a set of Custom moulds from CustomIEMco, going for UE6’s. These have taken a little while to get used to, as they are such a tight fit, but the sound reproduction quality is fantastic but my CCA’s still come a close second (especially if I don’t need to wear them too long or am moving around too much?).

acidbass Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 The ZS10 are great VFM, think they are about £40 on Amazon for a triple driver universal fit earphone. Highly recommended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Edge Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 ZS 10’s get thumbs up from me as well. Astonishing sound for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andytoad Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I've got ZS10's after trying various. Had them over a year and stick with them. Two or three gigs a week, so far still good. Very pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
