A New Dawn.
Daybreak debuts as CrinEar’s first full-production IEM, a bold step forward in design, tuning, and execution. Engineered to push the limits of acoustic precision and performance, the Daybreak establishes a new benchmark in the constantly advancing world of in-ear monitors.
The CrinEar Daybreak is meticulously tuned to the IEF Preference 2025 curve: an evolution of the Population-Averaged Diffuse Field target that blends natural, speaker-like tonality with a dynamic and engaging low-end response.
At its core is a fully custom driver array:
-
A custom-spec dynamic subwoofer delivers deep, controlled bass
-
Custom-developed balanced armatures provide accurate, detailed mids
-
Next-generation micro-planar tweeters ensure exceptional treble extension and clarity
Every component is purpose-built to achieve tonal perfection and immersive fidelity.

The sound, including bass response, is very good. And they're comfortable. But $170 is way too much for IEMs that separate from the cable connector with so much ease. Almost every time I use these things, the cable connector comes loose. I've owned several IEM from various companies, and I've never had this problem.
I don't know if many other people have this problem, or if I got a bad set. But this makes me think that all the R&D was focused on the sound, and none on whether the cable connection was secure--as if the cable connection was never stres tested.
They work pretty good and the tips are comfortable
Amazing soundstage and compared to my previus SE535s a major improvement in every way.
Too much high end
Truly the reason I've completely fallen in love with music again. Cannot recommend enough.
