Introduction!
Hello friends!
Today in the review we’ll talk about a new hybrid product from CCA and their model is called Rhapsody!
The headphones come in a very small black box where there is only the company logo, and the technical characteristics of this model are indicated on the side, and these headphones received 2 dynamic drivers with a diameter of 8 mm, and 4 armature drivers, and the sensitivity is 102 dB, and they received a impedance from 15 to 20 ohm.
Let's take a look at what's included!
And here everything is actually simple, we get headphones that look pretty good to me, although the metal front panel is easily soiled and collects fingerprints, and has a large hole with a mesh, and the inscription Rhapsody on both headphones.
And the inner panel here is made of translucent resin and through it you can very clearly see the dynamic drivers and small reinforcements here, there are no holes for compensation as such that we are used to here, so I have seen a small vacuum effect with some ear pads, but it is not so scary and it is quite easy to fix with the right selection of eartips.
And on the side there is a block with switches, in general there is something to play with here, but in reality I think you, like me, will set them once in one position and will not touch them again.
But it’s worth saying that there is a 2-pin connector installed here, and unfortunately it is not recessed into the case as is usually the case, so you still have to pick up a cable here.
Accessories!
Because the included cable here is completely standard in the Kz style, and I think this is not the first time you’ve seen it, I advise you to immediately change it to something more interesting, yes, it has a microphone and qdc connectors, but it also smells terrible, so it’s probably better don't even get it, that's my advice haha.
There is also exactly 1 bag of black silicone ear tips and instruction!
How do these headphones sound?
Now let's talk about the sound of these headphones.
And here is a very interesting picture, the tuning here is designed in the Harman style, this is not the first time we have seen this, there is also a very good emphasis on low frequencies with a fairly smooth approach to the mid frequencies and a slightly more raised emphasis on the upper middle, but it is small, but personally, I feel it, and the high frequencies here are designed quite well they are long and slightly emphasized with a very small compensation hole, and in general, surprisingly, the headphones are very close to my near neutral target, which pleased me =)
Low Frequencies:
At low frequencies, this model demonstrates a very good and peppy rise of 10 dB if you turn the first two switches up, we get excellent weight and depth of sub-bass notes, which is complemented by midbass with a very pronounced punch and a characteristic attack, albeit not the most clearly defined impulse, and the texture here may not be record-breakingly transparent, but at least the bass doesn’t sound muddy and too relaxed when hit, and the saturation and distortion of the guitars are quite easily conveyed and in the end there is no feeling that something was not told to us here, and the bassheads are already They may well consider purchasing this model.
Mid Frequencies:
The mids here are presented as very energetic with normal, not excessive transparency and air, and feel slightly dry and have a slight lightness in the lower mids, and it’s worth saying that there is a noticeable armature timbre, especially noticeable in vocals, I personally immediately noticed this attention.
But on the plus side, there are quite emphasized transients and attacks that clearly stand out on drums due to the strengthening of the upper mid region, and although the low frequencies compensate for it, I personally would like to get less emphasis on it and make this area a little more neutral, but this is already It’s purely my taste, since I know that fans of brighter settings also read my reviews, so I’m sure they will be happy in this case, and the tuning will be very familiar to them.
High Frequencies:
High frequencies here are a musical and have very correct approach to tuning where there is no super excessive brightness and what I call pseudo detailing due to the strengthening of this area, there is also moderate technicality and, albeit not the most noticeable, but not lost bias in analytics, due to which we we have better separation of cymbals and percussion in this range where nothing blends into one , and everything in the end sounds very readable with good detail and sparkle at the cymbals and long aftersounds, and the very duration of the high frequencies here was surprising, finally there is no such decline after 8 or 10 kHz as often happens even with expensive hybrid headphones!
Stage and stereo panorama:
In Rhapsody it is not super wide and quite close and slightly intimate for the vocal part in terms of location, so there is no feeling like in the same Hidizis MP145 or Letshuer S15 that you are listening to open full sizes headphones, but nevertheless the depth is not bad, and the drawing of plans and the images are not particularly simplified for this cost, everything is quite separated and there are no problems with determining the sound source.
My conclusion on this headphones:
Cca Rhapsody turned out to be an interesting inexpensive hybrid headphone with the ability to tune the sound using switches on the body and the presentation of the headphones, although bright, is quite rich and dynamic with massive bass.
