Sony WI-1000X vs CCA C10

The reviewers at Head-fi have featured the CCA C10 in their CCA C10 roundup. However, it fell short of making it to the top of their list.

As for the Sony WI-1000X analysis - it impressed reviewers at Techradar, a source that's known for its objective testing and well-thought-out methodology - it performed great in its "Best Sony headphones 2022: noise-cancelling, wireless earbuds, and more" roundup and earned the "The best Sony earphones for audiophiles" title.

We couldn't find any sources that tested both of these In-Ear Monitors, so we only analyzed how they performed in reviews from different sites.

We first examined which sources rated each of these best and found that the CCA C10 got its highest, 9.1, rating from Head-fi, while the Sony WI-1000X earned its best, 10, score from musicphotolife.com.

Lastly, we averaged out all of the reviews scores that we could find on these two products and compared them to other In-Ear Monitors on the market. We learned that both of them performed far better than most of their competitors - the overall review average earned by In-Ear Monitors being 7.7 out of 10, whereas the CCA C10 and Sony WI-1000X managed averages of 9.1 and 8.7 points, respectively.

Due to the difference in their prices, however, it's important to keep in mind that a direct CCA C10 vs. Sony WI-1000X comparison might not be entirely fair - some sources don't take value for money into account when assigning their scores and therefore have a tendency to rate more premium products better.
