How much did I pay for these again??
These... are sick!! I'm an experienced drummer and I've paid hundreds more for in-ears that don't perform any better these. I agree with some other users that they are a bit on the bright side out of the box, but they've mellowed out quite a bit over a few weeks. Two things I want to highlight as my favorite things about them despite the sound quality:1. The fit and sound dampening. There are a few here that speak to these not being highly sound isolating out of the box, which is true but for a live performance, I want a little bit of ambient sound... just a little. I run these through a Behringer Powerplay P16-M 16-Channel Digital Personal Mixer from the board so I do have a lot of control over what comes in, but I found the stock ear pads to be perfect for my scenario. I tried more isolating foam pads, but they bothers my ear canals and choked off too much sound. As to the fit... I forget they're even there... I appreciate that quite a bit.2. Quality of construction. These look great, feel great, the cord feels sturdy and strong, and they form perfectly and subtly around the backside of the ear. I was very surprised at how pro these look and feel.A couple of cons: I wish the cord was about a foot or two longer. When I plug straight in to the Behringer without an extension, I have to be very strategic about where I place the mixer so my elbow doesn't get caught up in the cord while I'm playing.Also, this desperately needs to come with a case. I know it would probably drive the price up, but even if the box were conducive to being a carrying case, I'd be cool with that. BUT, the box is just a box, so it would be cool to have something to put this in since I actually like them and want to keep them in good shape.I hope this helps. If you're looking for some solid, maybe even amazing for the price, in-ear monitors, I think you've found your huckleberry.

Unbelievable in-ear monitor for musicians for $50!!! BUY IT.
This review is for the CCA C12. I'm a recording engineer/producer/musician and had used the Shure S215 for the longest time. I feel so stupid to have done that when I can get something like this for $50. Recently, someone from an IEM company contacted me and wanted me to try their $2800 in ears. Which I must say was very good. But I needed to know if I could get away with not needing to spend that much and see if I could find something comparable for under $100. So I bought like a dozen different kinds of KZ and CCA under $100 and this came up on top. I did several tests:Listening test : Frequency balance (not exaggerated bass or treble), not shrill or harsh sounding, and accurate to the mix, solid representation of my mixing intentions.Monitoring test : How it sounds when I'm recording piano and guitars when using it. This is AMAZING. Very few IEMS pass the test of both piano and guitar accuracy. If the IEM is bright, then the piano would sound too harsh and piercing, if the IEM is on the softer warmer side, the tendency is that the electric guitar would lose its punch and attack. This CC12 nails it in the head and somehow balances both! Very rare. I've tested about a dozen different CCA and KZ IEMS and this is one of few out of the bunch that does it well.Great separation, you can feel the emotion of the song and its not sterile sounding, the bass is very present but not exaggerated, its not bright and doesn't kill your ears, it has a wide sound stage, its a comfortable fit.I can't highly recommend this enough. Bottom line, you don't need to spend $2800 on a 5 driver IEM to get good sound. This is equally as good if not, better.If you're a musician and are looking for a good IEM. Look no further.All the best!

The quest for good ChiFi has brought up some good results
I mostly wanted a pair of IEMs because the regular over the ear headphones were giving me headache after an hour or so of use, so for longer periods of music recording and gaming I needed something lighter. Foam eartips are also recomended with the purchase of this but not really a must since I notice that the sillicon eartips covered my ear canal really well but the foam is softer and it can expand to cover all the different types of ears.Overall if you want premiun in-ears and you are on a tight budget or don't want to spend to much since you are not a gig musician or just want something light to listen to music or play games go with CCA C12. They are still a premiun choice, the construction quality feels great and they also have cheaper options to choose from.UPDATE: after 8 months or so of use I have to say that I felt in love again with this pair of IEM. They have a slightly V shape sound meaning that they have a bump in the lower frequencies and another bum in the highs leaving the mids lower but still giving you clear detail of vocals and other instruments. These are a good pair to start your journey into the audiophile IEM world and they work with everything, from dedicated headphone amps to the 3.5mm connection in your laptop or cellphone.

Good value but you do get what you pay for
The CCA C12 In-Ear Monitors offer great value for the price, especially for musicians or audiophiles looking for good sound on a budget. After around 20 hours of use, they really start to warm up and sound even better over time. The hybrid 5BA+1DD design provides nice clarity and detail, with a decent balance across highs, mids, and lows.However, if you're someone who needs perfectly flat, true sound for professional monitoring, you might want to invest in more expensive monitors. These are solid for general listening and casual studio use, but they’re not the absolute flattest in terms of sound profile. Overall, though, they’re a great option for those seeking good quality at an affordable price. Also the cord length is pretty short.

Sound quality and fit are on point
Holy moly the sound quality and tight fit are amazing. Long time audiophile and very happy with these. I think they sound better than my Fiio FD3 Pro’s. Tight bass, clarity and soundstaging are all there. Make sure you have these drivers in the proper side because they are interchangeable.

Serves as a great quality earphone for smart phones
As stupid or lame as it sounds, i am only using it with my ipad, desktop and smart phone and i don't have any professional audio setup for using these as true IEMs but so far i have had the best experience music quality wise.If you are an experienced earphone buyer and have tried your hands with wireless but still are not satisfied with the music quality, then this is the one you can opt for.
