CCA Lyra Earphone review
Audiophiles on a budget have never had it better. From Beyerdynamic and Fiio to Audio Technica, there’s an option for every sound preference and every budget. And today, we have CCA (Clear Concept Audio) Lyra, an in-ear wired headphone that retails at Headphone Zone at Rs. 1,795.
Box contents
- CCA Lyra headphones
- 3 pairs of ear tips — Small, Medium, and Large
- Removable cable with 3.5mm jack
- Instruction manual
The design of the CCA Lyra is attractive! It has a transparent polycarbonate shell with a diamond-cut design. We got an exchangeable 0.75mm gold-plated 2pin connector as well. The outer shell comes in two colors — white and blue and we were sent the former, which one should consider if they want to have a see-through design on their earphones.
SPECIFICATIONS CCA Lyra
- Driver Single 10mm Dual Magnetic Dynamic
- Impedance 28ohm
- Frequency Range 20-40Khz
- Sensitivity 113+/-3dB
- Cable 0.75mm recessed 2pin (QDC) 3.5mm 120cm length
CCA Lyra houses a dual magnetic 10mm single dynamic driver. In addition, the acoustic tuning engineers at CCA claim to have tuned the LYRA to give users a full-range audio experience with their patented polymer composite diaphragm.
There is a 0.15mm magnetic gap that lowers the distortion rate. In addition, the 0.035mm diameter loop helps in a stable and efficient driver vibration frequency.
I am not an audio expert, but I listen to music regularly. From my perspective, the CCA Lyra sounds good with most genres of music, including music with high bass output. The bass levels are distinct and well-defined without sounding husky. I think people who enjoy hip-hop music will particularly appreciate the sound quality of the CCA Lyra.
The CCA Lyra is a great value for the price! It’s not the best option out there, but it’s a very solid choice that delivers great sound quality and performance for the price. Lyra is a very good choice if you’re looking for a well-balanced sound signature.
Just Corseca Sparkle Wireless Powerbuds review
Just Corseca, a consumer electronic company, has launched its new TWS in the Indian market – Sparkle Wireless Powerbuds at Rs. 1,750. It has Bluetooth 5.1 support, 13mm drivers, and RGB lights to differentiate it from the rest. So, are these good sets of TWS earbuds in range? Let us find out in this review.
Design and build
Just Corseca Sparkle Wireless Powerbuds comes with an all-plastic build, with the case getting a transparent lid, revealing the buds sitting inside. The bottom half has a branched design that glows in RGB color when you open/close the lid. At the bottom, there’s a USB-C port for charging.
The design is distinctive when the RGB glows. Unfortunately, however, there are no options to turn it off. Also, the design is very prone to scratches since it’s transparent. The buds are made of plastic and are uncomfortable for the long haul because of the shape.
Since it doesn’t carry an in-ear model, there are sound leaks at high volumes, and can hear a considerable amount of outside noises.
Connectivity, Pairing, and Controls
The pairing process in Sparkle Wireless is simple, thanks to Bluetooth 5.1. Enable the Bluetooth function on your device, select the ‘Sparkle Wireless‘ and connect.
The TWS is pairing-ready when you open the top lid. So far in my usage, I didn’t face any connectivity issues with the OnePlus 9 Pro. However, it doesn’t have dual-mode connectivity, so you can only pair it with one device simultaneously.
The touch controls on Sparkle Wireless are hit or miss and don’t respond half the time. Unlike a few other buds, you cannot customise the settings. All you can do in this bud is answer calls, adjust volume, play/pause the musical tracks and control the voice assistant.
Audio Quality, Call Performance, and battery life
The Sparkle Wireless features 13mm drivers and is tuned for bass. Although the audio from the Sparkle Wireless is very average, vocals are sometimes overpowered by bass, and the treble is decent enough.
Voice clarity was good for calls indoors and below average outdoors. Overall, these have decent audio and average call quality for the price.
According to the company, Sparkle Wireless can last 3-4 hours. We got about 3 hours on a single charge during our review.
Conclusion
The Sparkle Wireless is a decent Bluetooth true wireless earbud for Rs. 1,750. You can consider other options from companies like boAt, Redmi, and realme in a similar price range.
