Youtube Video Summary
CCZ CZ10 pairs an all-metal shell with a 1DD+4BA hybrid at $49, delivering an immediate wow-factor: a very wide stage, high apparent resolution, and crisp separation. That excitement is driven by an aggressive upper-treble lift that pushes detail and air, but also introduces grain and classic BA timbre. Bass looks big on the graph yet, in practice, the mid-bass is playing catch-up and doesn't add much weight or body.
Underneath the spice, the fundamentals are decent: the bass driver is fast and tight for the price, mids read clean and hybrid-like, and layering/separation are competent. However, the top-end emphasis can be fatiguing at moderate or higher volumes and flattens depth, making the stage feel wide more than deep; tame the top with EQ and the presentation gels and outperforms many $50 hybrids. As shipped it's a flashy, energetic V with better-than-expected parts, held back by overzealous treble.

Reviewer Score
The CCZ CZ10 (“TianGong”) is a budget hybrid IEM built around a 1DD+4BA array in a full zinc-alloy shell with 0.78 mm QDC 2-pin connectors. Street pricing hovers around $48–49, placing it squarely in the entry tier where build and configuration density are notable for the money. Specs and pricing are published by the retailer with sensitivity at 102 dB and 16 Ω impedance.
Tonally, the CZ10 presents a V-shaped balance with elevated sub-bass and some upper-treble lift relative to the mids, which can sound slightly recessed depending on tip and source. Frequency-response databases list the model and corroborate the bass/treble emphasis pattern typical of fun-tuned budget hybrids. Community impressions on Head-Fi characterize it as a generally balanced, easy-listening set with solid build for the price.
Technical performance is competent for this bracket: bass extension and punch are the clear strengths, while detail retrieval, imaging, and soundstage are serviceable rather than standout. Recent video coverage likewise frames the CZ10 as a value-oriented hybrid with engaging low end but only average staging and resolution—appropriate expectations at sub-$50.
