As you can see the price point for all of these are very reasonable especially as all the materials and components used look very decent.

Our experience with all the items is that the connections are tight, the cables are primarily ‘tangle free’ and the signature pairing with the iBasso IT01s and the SR1 work well.

Ergonomics usage  are excellent and from a design perspective they all have a certain classic elegance especially the Gold carbon fibre style 4.4mm jack on the CB15 which really has some flare.

The CA04 is right angled in design and really useful as a general accessory.

We used the 4.4mm cables/adaptors with the DX200 AMP8 primarily as well as with the Sony NW-WM1Z

In the classic earphonia.com style we have created a video to show all these items.
