Sound quality description
In this review, I use the standard eartips size L and drive it with the FiiO M15.
CCA LYRA has a neutral and near flat sound signature.
Please see here for detailed reviews on sound quality.
Lows / Bass
The low frequencies seem a bit shallow, but are sufficiently linear to provide good perspective.
The balance with the midrange is almost balanced, and is set at a level where it is slightly weaker than the midrange, depending on the volume. So there is little to disturb the midrange, at least around the right volume level.
For my taste, the drum kicks are shallow, lacking in heft and impact. Rumble is also weak.
Electric bass is also a bit bright, and I feel it has good perspective, but the blackness is weak and the contrast is not very good and lacks depth.
It will be a little difficult to satisfy bass lovers. On the other hand, if you like a monitor-like sound, you will probably like it.
Mids
The midrange of the CCA LYRA is almost completely balanced to neutral. The upper midrange to mid-highs are slightly forward and monitor-like in their adjustment, with a slightly stronger sense of construction.
The sharpness of the snare and the edge of the electric guitar are reasonably solid, and the structure is solid enough that the framework of the music is quite easy to grasp. Consonants are easy to understand and vocalists' lively tones are audible, and percussion has a clear sense of rhythm with easy-to-understand rises and falls.
Resolution and transparency are also at an excellent level considering the price. The midrange is well finished.
Highs / Treble
The high frequencies of the CCA LYRA are tuned for speaker-like forward localization. Extension is a bit lacking.
Sibilance and S consonants can sound a bit strong, depending on volume and sound source, and may sound just a bit irritating to those sensitive to high frequencies. Still, it is basically safe as there is almost no peakiness.
The definition is adequate and the brightness is generally adequate. The highs are monitorable enough, and they are fine and detailed enough for analytical listening.
Sound quality general comment
- Original Sound Fidelity: A
- Recommendation: A-
- Personal preference: B+
The CCA LYRA is an excellent studio monitor earphone available at a low price. Compared to the CCA CXS in the same price range, it is more like a bright, orthodox monitor with more emphasis on midrange. If low frequencies are important to you, the CXS is a good choice.
