CCA AS16 PRO
85 out of 100 low confidence 8 reviews
The KZ AS16 earphones deliver outstanding sound quality, especially for gaming and music, with clear mids, detailed highs, and a wide soundstage. They are large and may not fit small ears, but users with larger ears find them comfortable and secure. A few users noted the highs can be sharp and the cable is short, but overall they offer incredible value under $100.

- Wide soundstage for gaming

Cons
- Large size may not fit small ears
