New hybrid earphones from CCZ
Sound balancing for the Plume is decidedly a V shaped signature. Which unto itself is not a bad thing I suppose most earphones nowadays incorporate some variation of the V shaped sound tuning. These clearly let you know they have some bass and treble.Trebles are balanced well with the mids and have a good fundamental precise nature to the trebles. The treble of the Plume is separated by two distinct treble shelves and has the bulk of its treble emphasis toward lower to mid trebles. Upper trebles are lower in emphasis to not fatigue but does have a treble spike at around 14Khz to highlight and give air and presence to the trebles. Plenty of sparkly treble as a result. I don't particularly find the treble to be overly hyped or accentuated to irritate or poke your ears out at the same time it is not the most articulate or dimensional treble tuning given the price range.Treble and mids have a distinct BA timbre which gives the treble to mid bands a slight digital quality to the sound and not as natural as I would have liked. Treble is executed well enough here and to my ears seems more a limitation of the BA driver quality CCZ seems to be using more so than the actual tuning itself. I think they extracted what they could using this particular set of dual BAs for the treble and for the most part has good range, clarity, sparkles when called for and is extended well enough to give good presence and ability to the trebles. Treble emphasis is secondary to the sound of the Plume, the first being bass.The mids of the Plume takes a step back in the sound presentation and the cohesion from the trebles to the mids is presented seamlessly. It does help that both the trebles and mids are using dual BAs. The advantage of using BAs and better yet two BAs is that it gives a better sense of imaging and enhances technicalities of the given sound it is representing. It does give a good sense of dimensional fullness to the mid bands but at the same time is not the most holographic as I would have liked. Its presentation for using dual BAs is engaging enough but not exactly surround in presentation.BA performance here does a good job portraying your music in a grander scale for IEMs and perhaps this is the most attractive aspect of the Plume design. Its sound presentation has a grander, bigger stage for an earphone and makes other earphones sound a bit confined sounding in the process. Not the most open sounding but makes good use of that larger housing for its sound presentation.Mids presentation has a slightly smoother imaging in quality and detail that is not forced for a more musical approach to the sound design. Imaging for the mids while average for dual BAs is proportioned well for its grander dimensions to its sound. Its mids presence however is tertiary to how the sound is emphasized and not as clean as I would have liked. Due to the steady rise toward a larger bass presence the lower mids has more emphasis in the mid bands and sometimes vocal presentations do not sound forward but more even with the instruments in the background. You're not getting a particularly forward mid range; but for what is on the Plumes given the whole of its larger presentation the mids have enough presence to not sound lacking or overly recessed. The Plumes have a good but not outstanding technical foundation to its sound ability with a fundamental layering to the mid bands that is done well enough for the design but again you have to clearly know mids are not what these are going for. What it is going for is an authoritative bass end.The Plume by design clearly lets you know it is using a dual magnetic dynamic driver dedicated for bass. It has 12dbs of bass emphasis which is a good healthy amount of bass. The bass end of the Plume relative to the reserved mid bands is big and bold. Bass folks will certainly enjoy a big helping dose of bass for the Plume and since it has the stage to pull this sound signature off correctly these will most definitely appeal to bass fans. They do cast a bass shadow for the lower mids and on certain recordings you will have that bass that plays in the forefront of the sound design. Cohesion of the tuning suffers due to the helping heaping of loving bass end on the Plume as you get this brawny full bass end with a reserved mids and a lively treble presence on top. It is indeed your classic V shaped sound tuning.Bass is not particularly tight or as speedy as I would like. It is difficult to have speedy bass for 12dbs of emphasis so while they don’t particularly lack in bass acumen or ability they do lack a bit in finesse and tightness. But again this is due to the highly V shaped signature. Its technical ability is good here and shows decent clarity but with a big full bass end the lower mids casts a warm tone while the treble and upper details can sound slightly brighter. These are clearly made for bass fans so be warned that they do have a good healthy amount of bass whether you like it or not in your tunes.For a first time offering from a new manufacturer I get what the Plumes are going for here. It is trying to capture a younger enthusiast audience. It is one of the blingiest earphones in the industry. Look at me I am drenched in gold. Shinny and what part of gold is not blingy? The shells are fairly comfortable minus the overly extended protrusion for the back end of the shells. It is a fundamental V shaped sound design so folks that love their bass first and some lively treble these are a good offering at their price point. Their choice on the cable is well matched and the overall design is impressive for what it is. I wish nothing but the best for new manufacturers and I hope their next design sees a better balanced and more even handed tuning vs the crowd pleasing V shaped signature of the Plumes. The grand stage and full bodied presentation is commendable but that bass is always looming on the sound design so know this before deciding you need a set for you. These are once again made clearly for folks that love their bass.

Near perfect.
Perfect fit, perfect sound, perfect price, if only it came with a carrying pouch or case for storage it truly would be perfect.

Better than advertised. Audible to as low as 14Hz as High as 20,000Hz.
The unit I have is the more expensive variant with a mic but they might all have the same internals. Only the manufacturer can say for certain unless someone buys both.The vendor advertises these as having a 20-20kHz response range, but in testing, bass is still audible and clear at as low as 14Hz when using a cheap DAC (17Hz without the DAC). For perspective, humans can't generally hear anything less than 10Hz. Highs don't drop off for me until very near 20kHz.They don't have have any active noise cancellation, but because of the tight fit, they perform that function just as well a pair of active noise cancelling ear buds that I own. They isolate very well.Other reviewers anecdotally mention clear highs, lows, etc., but these are clear at any frequency. The equipment these are paired with will dictate the quality of sound you receive.Notes:The "silver/gold" is resin - not metal.The single button mutes the earphones, but there is no appreciable volume control built in.The photo for the silver/gold variants is a bit misleading, but they don't look bad or cheap.The audio plug has a right angle which might not be ideal for some people.The TFZ pins are very, very snug and aren't likely to come out unless you want them to.One of my DACs cuts out at 14kHz even though the earphones are capable of higher so if you notice drop offs, check your equipment.

Auriculares divertidos que pueden enamorar.
Voy a realizar dos análisis. Uno corto y concreto y otro más detallado. Las pruebas las he hecho con un móvil huawei p30 con salida jack 3'5 y USB-C. También he hecho pruebas con un Dac sonata HD y con un cable yinyoo de plata de 8 núcleos. ¡Vamos allá!Impresiones rápidas.Estos auriculares de 1 solo driver dinámico de 10mm están preparados para sacarlos de la caja y disfrutar de ellos. Apenas les han hecho falta unas 4-5 horas de quemado para estar al 100%. Los he probado en todo tipo de música y en todas ofrecen un sonido equilibrado y divertido al mismo tiempo. Su firma es en "V" pero destacaría la calidez en las voces al no ser ásperas. Si quieres unos auriculares todo terreno pero cálidos, estos son una buena opción.Análisis detallado.Accesorios:Se trata de un conjunto sencillo. Por el precio no esperas mucho más, pero otras marcas sí que incluyen una bolsita o estuche de transporte. Aquí no vamos a encontrar nada de eso.El cable que viene es de 4 núcleos y es normalito. Con estos auriculares no he tenido el efecto embudo que sí he tenido con otros de esta misma marca. Creo que no es necesario cambiarlo. Responden bien. Eso sí, si tienes la posibilidad de añadirle un dac, notarás cómo el sonido se vuelve algo más sólido, pero nada que destaque demasiado. Igualmente, si puedes colocarle un cable mejor, obtendrás el mismo efecto, un sonido más contundente. Pero insisto, con el cable stock el sonido es decente y no sufre pérdidas de potencia.Los tips (siliconas) que se incluyen son decentes con los típicos 3 tamaños L-M-S y cumplen su función. A mi no me ha hecho falta usar otros y he realizado toda la prueba con los que lleva incluidos. Aíslan bien, no se salen del auricular y tienen la longitud perfecta para estos auriculares.Comodidad:Estos auriculares están realizados en resina. A excepción de la pieza que se inserta dentro de la oreja que es metálica y taparemos con los tips de silicona. Están bien acabados aunque no son espectaculares. Son bonitos, eso sí. Yo tengo el de color negro.Se adaptan bastante bien a mi oreja, que considero que es de tamaño medio. Aunque en la parte que apoya en la oreja tiene una preforma de goma que a veces puede molestar un poco. Está diseñada para una mejor ergonomía, pero puede que no se adapte bien a ti. De todos modos no debería darte problemas esto.Los auriculares son ligeros y no dan la sensación de que se vayan a caer. La sujeción es buena al igual que su aislamiento acústico pasivo que es más que decente. Yo diría que por encima de la media en este rango de precios.Tipo de sonido:Tiene una clara firma en "V". Aunque no es agresiva. Es bastante cálida y no pierde mucho detalle en las frecuencias media y altas.A las 4-5 horas de quemado noté que ya no había evolucionado más. Puedes disfrutar de todo su potencial desde muy temprano.La escena que presenta es normal. No sorprende ni para bien ni para mal. Simplemente es lo que esperas en unos auriculares de este precio.Agudos :Son suaves y normalmente no destacan cuando hay música con mucha carga de sonido como el heavy. Pero cuando escuchas música acústica te das cuenta que tiene unos agudos detallados pero suaves. En ningún momento suenan sibilantes. Para los que son sensibles a los agudos esto es una buena noticia.Medios:Los medios no son excesivamente detallados pero son muy cálidos. En este aspecto, estos auriculares te pueden llegar a enamorar. Escuchar voces, sobre todo femeninas, es una delicia. Suenan muy dulces. Me recuerdan a los blon bl-03 donde los medios son muy agradables.Bajos:Esta frecuencia es la más potenciada. Recomiendo no subirla con ecualización porque no le hace falta. Si lo hacéis, puede que los bajos suenen artificiales. Tanto los medios bajos como los sub bajos tienen mucha presencia. Una vez realizado el quemado, se vuelven más equilibrados y siempre están muy presentes. Con esto, la música se vuelve más divertida. Me gusta que el bombo en una canción rock pegue con fuerza o que en la música techno te retumbe la cabeza. Este es el efecto que consiguen estos auriculares sin manchar (casi) el resto de frecuencias.Conclusión.Auriculares económicos que no necesitan sustituir piezas. Los desempaquetas y disfrutas con ellos. Aptos para todos los estilos de música.Yo los recomiendo.

Broke after minimal use BUT Read edit!
If they had not broken after using them for less than 3 wks I would have given these 10stars.The sound is amazing and they felt light and great on my ears.... however did t get to really use them much till I was in vacation and after the third time using them the main ear bud housing kept detaching from the main part and then it would be stuck in my ear. This was only on the left side....very sad wish I could get them replaced but I honestly don't know if I can but had them less than 6mths.EDIT--from 3 star to 5So after my review the seller got in touch with me and after letting him know what happened and sent pics within 48hrs of him shipping I have a new pair and they work great. Honestly they have amazing clear sound for music and they are very comfortable to wear. I am very happy and greartful to the seller.

Really nice sound quality but already ripped after 6 months
As a first-time user of in-ear monitors, I thought that the sound quality was nice! I had previously used earphones that came with my phone or other cheap earphones, so these in-ear monitors really made me appreciate the difference in quality. I haven't used other in-ear monitors before so I can't give insight on how these ones compare to others but they're definitely better than most earphones I've used. I am sad though, that after 6 months of use, they've already ripped on the left side, right at the end of the clear bit that covers the ear hooks - so now, I have no more sound coming through the left monitor.

Incredible value! Best sounding earbuds for the price! (More on the sound in the review)
_the sound is actually quite warm so if you don't like warm-sounding headphones then I recommend the KS1 or the ZSN PRO both can be found on Amazon (I've tried both). First off, the sound; the sound is the typical "vee" sound. This means that it's got a little extra bass and a little extra treble or top end. However, these are very fun-sounding earbuds that pack a punch, all the sounds are quite smooth and silky, and are quite sophisticated. The bass is punchy but done in a tasteful way, the treble is really smooth and has good volume, and the mids are quite well-balanced. As far as comfort goes, this is entirely objective so I'm just going to judge the ear tips and the wingtips, both are made from a very nice feeling of silicon and the ear tips feel really good in the ears they are soft and come in multiple sizes. The wire is actually the biggest downside to these, it is cheap ugly, and gets tangled so easily, however, I managed to pick up replacements on aliexpress for 12 bucks.
