I did not like the configuration with all the switches turned on. The switches actually made a huge difference for me. I settled on having the 1st and 3rd switches on and I think it sounds very tonally correct to me. Choice of tips may matter as well.
Yooo you have the same taste as me, I also more preferred UDUD switch the best
I am very intrigued by this IEM. Thanks for the great review! I might be blind buying these.
Seems like this is the pinnacle of KZ's Harman Training Arc.
These are the epitome of KZ. The best there is probably.
@@SuperChonkMy PR2s are wonderful, after use for over 200 hours, after retuning by myself, after getting a much better cable, after getting the right eartips sorted out, after getting 4vrms together in one place, to drive them..double ended 😮
The cca/kz rabbit hole is interesting, if you have nothing to do, (like me). There is the odd unit that is exceptional for the price, but the journey to find them is grueling.
The hype surrounding this set or KZ/CCA sets in general has been astronomical lately. Some even said the Rhapsody is better than Monarch Mk3 and Oracle Mk2. I bought the D-Fi switch based on the "Blessing 2 killer" title some people put on them. I was disappointed when comparing them to my B2 and gave the D-Fi away to my brother lol.
This is a common story haha
3:42 I got this to replace an aful p5. These hybrid sets always have good mids and highs, but the bass is on the mushy side, especially compared to planars. Vocals and tuning are nice for the price
What's your favorite switch configuration?
@@fuad000100 0011 plus some eq
I'm a basshead, do you recommend this iem or are there others for the same price or slightly more expensive?
Bass is slower on all hybrids for the most part, which is a disadvantage as compared to planars for example that are always more cohesive and accurate in bass decay and tone. However this is very noticeable on Rhapsody as you mention. It's kind of a 15" ported subwoofer effect, it hits but it hit slowly. I also find it too bright in the pinna and needs foams or a filter, but that can be said of all Harmon IEM. Good iem tho for $40!
Completely agree with you on this!
Even better for the USD$29.50 I paid. 😅
I bought the CCA Warrior based solely on the hype of the OG CRA. I don’t listen to them. At all. Not to mention they click when you press on the shell. Life is to short t waste time on mediocre to bad IEMs. Thanks for the great review SC!
3:01 I just unboxed these an hour ago, and the switches do make difference to me, it was fairly obvious which config was best
1:29 I'd rather they spend the cash on the iems, not the packaging
I have a kz zsx, out of 20 chifi sets it is my lowest rated fully working set. completely non-musical. CCA is a is a sub company of KZ all the other way around I believe.
For $35 on sale, the Rhapsody is a steal. Very nice IEM and performing well above it's price point. As an entry point IEM, it should not disappoint. However, for a little more money, about $50 (on sale), the ARTTI T10 is really an exceptional planar that I think performs at another level, across genres. The only other planar that I prefer over the T10 is the Hidizs MP145, but the later is hit or miss for some on fitment. For me, the MP145 fits perfectly well...but it is a whale of an IEM. The materials, workmanship, and tuning are pretty special at only $120...but the bag accessory is a bit of a let down. Of course, for long listening sessions and travel, the T10 is superior IMO to the MP145, simply because of its relatively light/compact form factor.
No regrets buying the Rhapsody...something I would recommend to a friend. The DQ6...that one I reserve for my best enemies.
Which IEM has better man vocal clarity and woman vocal clarity when watching videos or movies between CCA Rhapsody VS Simgot EW200 ? Please tell me the reasons too. Thanks 🙏👍
EW200 is better for that
for a bass guitarist which one should i buy? Im sensitive to treble. Please help
Are you using them for monitoring?
@@SuperChonk also when I listen to tracks I try to capture the bass notes played
@@RobinJesba Ok so for lots of musicians, when using IEMS for on stage monitoring they opt for warmer, rounder sounding IEMS for them to use them on hours on end.
These will do fine but idealy you would want a pair that has pressure equalization for longer hour use as well, but those are quite a bit more expensive.
For the cheap the Rhapsody will be fine.
As Rhapsody owner I'm gonna add few more points to consider :
- As you know with KZ/CCA, you bought it for the housing/driver only, throw away that crappy cable because it just choke what the IEM capable of.
- The switch does change the sound quite significant, even tho the FR only shows on sub bass & mid bass area increment.
- Cable rolling does affect and capable of unlocking Rhapsody hidden potential.
Now note to consider unlocking Rhapsody potential :
- Get a bright cable set. I used 3.5 rhodium jack (4.4 Bal would be so much more better), rhodium pin, Super Litz 7N SPC 748 core (yup custom cable).
- Eartips rolling, never used the stock KZ eartips.
- Even tho it provides with 4 switches, there's only 3 combination that works the best.
- Bass switch UDDD/DDDD
- Balance switch UDUD (my fav).
- Bright switch DDUU/DDDU.
This may takes different outcome for each person liking, but for this price I even dare to say it's almost on par with EM6L. I've compared them both head to head side by side myself.
😇 May God Bless You Always! 😇
Can you recommend the eartip that fits this the best?
@@jisooisasumin2132 Divinus Velvet would be my go to choice, comfortable fitting and opened up the sounds
Which pin type of cable is compatible for kz/cca iems aside from QDC? Is 0.78mm or 0.75mm okay?
@@choydeliverer7162, yes.
Kz makes their own drivers, including BA drivers. Not Knowles. Not Sonion. They are getting better by leaps and bounds.
is this better than ew200?
Technically. No
Which model you recommend for stage monitoring live music (max 50-70 USD budget)
These are ok for $35....fun to listen to (for some genres) but that's it. PR1 Pro is a much better choice at this price range.
Ok ok, I won't buy them..
