Crinear Daybreak
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- A good meta tuned set is also fantastic, ie the Crinear daybreaks
- The daybreaks are awesome. Do try some short wide eartips, they come with them now but I found them to be better for me like many others have.
- of all the Crin IEMs Im enjoying these the most. ... As a metalhead, these give me the impression of listening to the music live. Elevated bass that isnt bloated or muddy, really smooth mids and sparkly treble that isnt fatiguing.
- Crinear daybreak: still the undefeated, undisputed under 200 recommendation, the sound is several steps above most things in the price range, you won't get anything better until 100 dollars above it.
- I've already bought two more IEMs, including the Crinear Daybreak.
Cons
- Daybreak is excellent, I'm not a fan of the overly simple design though.

The Daybreaks are half the price and just better. I think its no mistake in the name choice.... Dusk -> Daybreak, IMO seems like Crin was directly challenging the Dusk, to do it his way with full control.
They are very very good in fact, I tried some expensive IEMs and those ones are doing great against some 300/400 USD, impressive
Fellow dusk owner here who also got these to see if they were an upgrade over them! I’m so happy with these over my dusks that I really don’t see myself using the dusks much more going forward. The tuning is basically perfect and I also don’t feel any need for EQ on them
These are a significant upgrade, I am actually bewildered how Crin achieved this. They sound fantastic! ... These are the closest to sounding like headphones while keeping the iem “details”. ... Comfort is great, seal’s great too. Tuning is the best I’ve ever heard, I don’t even wanna eq them.
