Sound5.4

A budget wired hybrid IEM combining a dynamic driver with a low-voltage electrostatic, also described as magnetostatic or electret, high-frequency driver. It was marketed toward casual listeners seeking unusual driver technology at a low price.

The HearWiki takeAI-condensed

The CCA NRA is a budget-friendly hybrid IEM that combines a 10mm dynamic driver with a 6.8mm electrostatic/mag-stat driver, offering an accessible entry into electrostatic-style sound. It delivers a generally balanced tuning with good comfort and a decent stock cable, though its treble can be uneven and its timbre slightly unnatural. While some find its bass a bit bloated and mids congested, it remains a solid value for those exploring hybrid driver technology on a tight budget.

What works

  • Excellent value for the price
  • Comfortable fit for extended listening
  • Good stock cable quality
  • Accessible electrostatic-style driver tech

What doesn't

  • Slightly unnatural timbre
  • Noticeable peak around 8 kHz
  • Stock ear tips are subpar
  • Bass can sound bloated and lack sub-bass extension

This review is largely negative on sound quality, saying the CCA NRA has bloated upper bass, weak sub-bass extension, congested mids, and dark, muddy treble. Even so, the reviewer still rates it highly for comfort and some design aspects, but concludes the tuning is a poor fit for listeners seeking clarity and balance.

CCA NRA review | Yeah they DID!

Prime Audio Reviews18K viewsSep 2021

CCA NRA (1/DD 1/MAG) Earphones Review

The reviewer finds the CCA NRA to be a budget dual-driver earphone with a sharp, intense treble that is not to his personal taste, though he acknowledges it may appeal to fans of similar bright-sounding sets. He notes the bass is mid-focused and lacks sub-bass impact, and while the build and cable are decent for the price, the overall tuning is too aggressive for his library. He suggests it's cheap enough to try for those curious about the driver configuration.

CCA NRA Review: Better than the ZEX? (vs ZEX, CSN, C10, DB3)

zpolt10.6K viewsDec 2021

The reviewer finds the CCA NRA to be a strong budget hybrid IEM, preferring it over the KZ ZEX due to its more neutral tuning, better vocal positioning, and controlled bass. It offers a lively, monitor-like sound with good micro-detail, though it can be shouty on some tracks and has splashy cymbals. Overall, it's considered a top contender in its price range, especially for vocal and monitoring use.

Alex Hong4.4K viewsSep 2021

The reviewer finds the CCA NRA to be a solid budget IEM with impressive technical performance for its price, though the tuning has some flaws like a treble peak and a dip around 3 kHz. Overall, it's considered good value, especially for its magnetostatic driver, but not a giant-killer.

CCA NRA - Gamer Review

Teknickel3.2K viewsNov 2021

The reviewer finds the CCA NRA to be a solid budget IEM for competitive gaming, praising its bright sound signature and accurate imaging for tracking enemies. However, the sound is not to their personal taste due to being too sharp and sibilant at times, and the sub-bass is lacking. Overall, they recommend it specifically for competitive shooters rather than casual or music listening.
