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.
