Review on CCA CST Silver HiFi In-Ear Earbuds - Compatible with Computer & Laptop, Noise Isolating Earphones for Android, Wired Headphones with Mic (CCA CST Silver) by Katie Peterson

Very basic range of accessories but really to be expected at such a low price. You only get 3 sets of earbuds, S/M/L, and they are all decent quality. I was able to get a great seal with them and they fit comfortably no complaints there. The headphones themselves also fit my ears very well. They are smooth and shaped to fit snugly in the ear. They are small enough to accommodate almost all ear shapes and sizes. Surprisingly good build quality and feel, especially at such a low price. The main body is made entirely of metal and there is a small piece that feels like real wood to give it a unique fashionable look. Everything seems very solid, I have no complaints about the assembly and I was very surprised at how well everything fits together. There is one downside, though, and that's the fixed, non-detachable cable. The cable is lightweight and doesn't kink, which is nice, but I prefer detachable cables as that's often the weak point of many headphones. The overall sound profile of the CCA CST is a fairly aggressive V-Tune. The bass is definitely upbeat and adds a warmer tone to the overall presentation. But it is well tuned, does not get muddy or penetrates the mids too much. These are very lively, punchy sounding headphones and the bass really shows it off. Sub-bass rumble is possible here and very enjoyable. I found the mids to be a bit recessed, with more emphasis on the upper mids, adding extra brightness to the sound. However, sharpness and clarity are not lost, and overall I really like the audio presentation of the CCA CST. Instruments and vocals sound natural, with very clear separation and visualization. They're also essentially open-back headphones, so the soundstage feels very wide and open, which is very difficult to achieve with headphones. This makes them a great choice for gaming as it makes it much easier to determine the position of the different horns. The highs are definitely a bit boosted, I found it can get quite tiring after a few hours of listening, but that will be subjective to each listener. whether you find them hard or not. They're definitely brighter than we'd like, while their overall action looks intentionally aggressive and works well. Detail reproduction is excellent and much better than you would expect from budget headphones. To be honest I didn't expect CCA CST to impress me so much. The fixed cable is a pretty big minus, of course, but everything else about these headphones is excellent. They sound lively and energetic and really punch well above their weight. Their overall construction and comfort far exceed expectations. They offer excellent imaging combined with a wide open soundstage. These cheap headphones have no right to sound so good, I highly recommend them.
