Welcome to Sen-Fi Reviews Blogspot. I started reviewing earphones because I find writing fun, and it tests my abilities as a writer while listening to music. Doing things I love, I began to write reviews whenever I stumble upon new earphones gears to give my viewers an idea before buying something. I'll ensure that beginners from the audio hobby find my blog beneficial and easy to understand.

Before the year ends I created this tier list for fun and wanted to categorize the IEMs I reviewed, auditioned, and owned. DISCLAIMER: Anything on this tier list is subjective. You can refer below to how I logically categorize some of the IEMs on this list This list is not the "one true tier list" or the "gospel". Geez, I'm not that much of an expert and what's good for you may not be good for others, vice versa. I'm basically doing this for fun, I currently have an issue on my right ear so I won't be doing some reviews for a while. Everything on the list is tried and tested, I won't include anything I haven't tested. I won't put description on every IEMs on the list unless I have to justify it. Just have fun reading my tier list, no need to be too serious. Sen-Fi 2023 Tier List GOD Tier (not in my official Tier List. These are basically revered being in God Tier because of their paramount price, only a selected few can own it, and it ha...
Improved design despite being similar to the CA16 Pro
Robust Build
Cons :
Might sound boring to some
May be bulky for other ears
Straightforward accessories, no extras whatsoever
DISCLAIMER: This unit has been provided to me by Jeff Yang in exchange for my honest opinion. This was shipped by GK Earphones through Shopee Philippines and I am thankful for providing this unit to me.
CCA CA10 is a new product by CCA. It is advertised as a 10-BA Driver, 5 for each side. This IEM can be easily driven by smartphones and even better if it has a dedicated DAC.
/ packaging /
We have CCA CA10's black premium looking box in which they use on their flagship products. Inside the package we have the unit itself, a cable, and 2 pair of tips in which the medium size is attached to the IEM out of the box. Very straight forward as usual and I don't think the company is not going to include any additional accessories any time now.

The design is similar to the CA16 Pro which I already reviewed before except for a few minor changes. The CA10 is bulkier with a thicker faceplate, it has a teal accent bearing the engraved CCA Logo which is quite a great move of CCA removing the huge CCA logo that stood out on the CA16 Pro, it looks clean but it's bulky nature might not fit some ears.

Bass : Bass is well-rounded and matured. The decay is fast and doesn't bleed into the mids. This is honestly the best presentation of bass because it is not overbearing and not lacking either.
Mids : Mids are worth the buck. It is fairly balanced and clean for my taste. It is not as warm and thick compared to my KZ ZAS and CCA CA16 Pro. I really enjoyed it, but it is slightly recessed and lacks a bit of clarity so don't expect intimate mids.
Treble : Treble is well-managed, decent, and it is not fatiguing. No sibilance is present. Inoffensive in nature, it may still sound artificial and unnatural but its flat so you can definitely listen to these pair without taking a trip from the ENT after a few days. Hahaha, just kidding, always listen on the most comfortable volume required 🙂
Recommendation : I would recommend opting for other eartips and it would eventually improve CA10's default sound. Using foam tips, bass significantly improved and you can feel a bit of sub-bass improvement.
Soundstage and Imaging : Pretty average, nothing to boast at this price point. The soundstage is not cramped but not that spacious. Imaging is average, some details just lie on a universal area than occupying a certain area. Just imagine a room with the appliances just lined up in the middle rather than seeing these appliances across the room.
If you are tired of V-Shaped IEMs that are commonly sold at the market for general consumers, the CA10 might be suitable for your taste. Out of the box, I was impressed on how CA10 can sound balanced which makes it advantageous for other genres. It is less cheerful and fun compared to other iterations of CCA and that might be worth considering.
