11:54CCA C10 Super Review - a bit INSANE
4/5The reviewer finds the CCA C10 to be a solid budget in-ear monitor for $30, offering a surprisingly good soundstage and instrument separation, with a bass-heavy, slightly warm V-shaped sound signature. While the fit is a bit chunky and the ear tips fall off easily, the overall performance is impressive for the price, earning a 4 out of 5 star rating.
