Strong LCP driver with tight mid bass and clear mids, but upper mids and treble run hot above Harman; best at low volume or with EQ. Excellent value once dialed in. Fast and controlled driver with engaging mid bass, clear mids, and strong extension for the price. Upper mids and treble are too elevated, flattening stage and requiring EQ or low volume to avoid glare.
Youtube Video Summary

CCA Phoenix marks a fresh start under ND Audio with a polished metal shell, normal 2-pin socket, improved accessories, and a budget LCP single dynamic driver. On the graph it rides above the Harman target from the upper mids through treble, which reads bright at higher volume; low-volume listening is more agreeable. The driver quality is the story: fast, controlled, and unusually clean for the price, and with a touch of EQ it shows notably better clarity and composure.

Bass is a tilted profile with less sub-bass and a modest mid-bass lift, giving a tight, bouncy punch that suits pop, EDM, and hip-hop. The leaner shelf reveals the mids with good separation and minimal bloom, while the treble extends strongly but is too energetic in the 3–7 k region, flattening stage at louder levels. Trim the 3–20 k region by about 2 dB and staging gains dimension and imaging snaps into place. As a sub-30 USD set for tinkerers, Phoenix is a standout driver held back by hot tuning out of the box.

Bass-forward V-shape with big sub-bass and mid-bass; a lighter shelf than Rose Finch makes it a touch more balanced but still aimed at bassheads. Upper-mids keep vocals clear when turned up, while stage and treble detail are modest. Punchy sub-bass and mid-bass with a less extreme shelf than Rose Finch; upper-mids remain clear at higher volumes. Small stage with masked treble detail and recessed mids; overall balance strongly favors bass.
Youtube Video Summary

White Snow is a bass-heavy, V-shaped single-DD set built around a 10 mm LCP driver, targeting listeners who want weight and rumble. Compared with the Rose Finch reference, the bass shelf is roughly lower, which nudges the tonality a bit more balanced while remaining distinctly bass-tilted. Expect big sub-bass and generous mid-bass that define the presentation and set the overall energy.

The midrange sits behind that shelf, yet the upper-mids are placed carefully so vocals stay intelligible even at higher volumes. Treble focuses on the lower treble; extension exists but finer detail is often masked by the bass, so micro-information is secondary to groove. Staging is compact and not tuned for width or air, making this a fun, boomy listen for bass-centric genres rather than a spacious, analytical set.

C+ Tech

The HZSOUND White Snow is a single-dynamic IEM (10 mm LCP+PU diaphragm) aimed at the ultra-budget bracket, typically selling for about $35–37. Its tuning skews neutral-bright: bass is on the lean side while the upper-mid region has mild emphasis, yielding clean vocals and a light, airy presentation.

Technical ability is reasonable for the price: detail retrieval and imaging are competent but not standout, and the stage leans more open than deep—consistent with its lighter low end and energized upper mids. At 20 Ω and ~108 dB sensitivity, it’s easy to drive from phones and dongles; the package also includes multiple tips and spare nozzle meshes, which help fine-tune fit and upkeep.

The trade-offs are predictable for this segment: limited sub-bass physicality and a slightly forward upper-mid/treble that can sound thin on bright masters, though it benefits vocal clarity and separation. As a low-cost daily set prioritizing clarity over warmth, White Snow offers solid value without breaking class norms, provided the listener is comfortable with its leaner tonality.
