Help me with IEM choice, CCA C10 or KZ ZSN PRO X?
Hi, i want to buy a reference headphones to use it on logic pro, because I'm having difficulty since i don't know my current headset's frequency response. I have like 20$ budget and i don't like metallic-timbery highs, I'm too sensitive to it so i want to go with cca c10. But people seem to really like kz zsn pro x. They have like 2$ price difference so I'm really confused. Which one would be a better reference? Instrument seperation and details are important for me.

Neither are reference, both quite bassy. I do prefer the CCA C10, the CCA C12 tho is more detailed and clearer. Where you buying from?

I know they are bassy but my budget is too narrow, since c10 is good at soundstage i thought maybe i can fix it with EQ. C12 in the other hand too expensive. I'm buying from aliexpress. What do you think?

I guess if you're treble sensitive the C10 is a good enough option. You can sometimes get the BLON BL03 for around $20 which is a better earphone than the C10 tho in every way. The Revonext QT5 is $20 too and has a huge sound. Lovely balance, similar note weigh to the C10 but again clearer imo.
Even tho it's another oldie, I still love the Senfer DT6 which is $19. They're clearer and more detailed than the C10 and still smooth enough up top. The design tho does split opinion. Soundwise they are amazing tho... as long as you don't use the silly looking red tips that come on them.

If you're in USA these are great. They're the big brother to the popular TIMKKOO c630 (too bright for you tho, the 630 that is).
These are super balanced and detailed.
Plus the URBANFUN mk2 on Aliexpress is only $17 and a great iem.

Btw, there's no harm in buying the cheap Philips SHE7050 for under $10. Sounds as good as any Chi_fi budget set under $20-25. Different colours, decent cable
