CCZ Plume Review, A New Flagship IEM From A New Player
Recently, I have won a giveaway of CCZ Plume from Keephifi, and so here is my quick review of this interesting IEM.
Pros:
- Premium Golden Metal Design
- Comfortable and fits perfectly
- Great sound performance
- Huge bass and soundstage for IEM category
- Comes with good quality cables and accessories
- Easy to drive
Cons:
- Slightly bulky design
- Bass bleed
- Lacks micro details
Introduction
CCZ, a fairly new player in CHIFI IEM category has just recently announced its latest flagship level product - CCZ Plume ç¾½. This product comes with one 10mm dual magnetic dynamic driver & four balanced armature drivers on each pair.
Design
Its packaging comes with a huge Chinese letter, ç¾½ which is translated into Plume meaning light or soft. CCZ Plume units comes with aluminum alloy full-metal cavity with polished reflective golden finishing which looks premium. It also comes with a 6N single crystal copper wire with 0.78 MM 2PIN and 2.5mm balanced plug. Also comes with a cleaner tool, fiber cloth, 3.5mm adapter & 4.5mm adapter, and a premium leather pouch.
Comfort
It comes with a patented, uniquely designed earfin for comfortable wearing. Five pairs of KBEar07 earbuds were also included in the packaging to fit all types of ears comfortably. Upon testing, it is fit to say that I'm able to wear the units for hours without causing pain on my ears.
Performance
Overall, CCZ Plume has a recessed V-shaped sound signature and focuses mostly on midbass, also providing good sound isolation. It is a much bassy set as it comes with a dual magnetic DD. Bass is powerful, energetic and deep but bleeds into the mids occasionally, treble is smooth yet natural, but lacks micro details for a multi-BA unit. Soundstage is considered huge and decent for a small IEM which can fit into your pocket. Poor recordings from audio sources might be revealing but it is a pro. Mids, instruments and vocals are clear, clean and bright.
Comparison
Since I owned a pair of KZ AS10, it will be used as a comparison. The KZ AS10 produces much cleaner and smoother male/female vocals, while the CCZ Plume has a significantly larger soundstage, more intense bass.
Conclusion
CCZ Plume is a fairly well-designed IEM in terms of aesthetics and technical performance. In short, it has decent soundstage, bass & treble, vocals are clear. Highly recommended for those who have budget, would like shiny products as collection, while also having a good performing IEM on the go.Purchase Link
