CrinEar Daybreak

These sound amazing and are the best things I've ever listened to however my only issue is for some reason my audio channels are switched the cable labeled with R is my left channel and the one blank is my right and I don't think that's correct looking at the instructions that came in the box I was playing Overwatch and noticed what was happening on the left played in my right. Now the simple solution is to just swapp the cables around which I did and it fixed my issue but I don't think that's the intent and I wanted you to be aware if that happens to you.

I got the Daybreak for over a week now, it's exactly what I've been expected. The bass is punchy and overall it's warm. It got its energy that is enough and not causing any fatigue. But i got an issue with the 4.4mm connector. I tried to change from 3.5mm to 4.4mm and it feels like the 4.4mm is not making the Daybreak feel right. When i use the 4.4mm connector, the left one sounds like a Daybreak, yes but the right one sounds like a Truthear Hexa. Firstly i thought that i pluged in the 4.4mm the wrong way but no it's not working out so i just stick with the 3.5mm connector. In conclusion, the pair are great, only the 4.4 mm connector is broken so yeah, would have been a 5 star without that one connector.

As a bass player, I am often disappointed by IEMs that try to impress with "big" bass that ends up being a muddy, bloated mess. The Daybreak is a refreshing departure from that trend.
​The Bass: A Player's Perspective
​The low end here is exceptional because of its restraint and placement. It isn't overpowering; instead, it sits at a perfect frequency for monitoring. I’m looking for a focused bass tone with just the right amount of low-end weight to feel the groove without losing the definition of the notes, and these deliver exactly that. Whether I’m working through melodic jazz lines or holding down the foundation in a worship setting, the precision is spot on.
​Clarity and Highs
​The clarity on the Daybreak is truly amazing. Every instrument has its own space, which is vital when you're trying to lock in with a drummer or hear the nuances of a vocal arrangement.
​The Highs: They are crisp and pleasant without ever crossing into "harsh" territory. There's no fatiguing sibilance here.
​The "Burn-In" Factor: Even right out of the box, they sound fantastic. I suspect once these are fully broken in, the soundstage and smoothness will only improve.
​Final Verdict
​If you want an IEM that respects the low end rather than just boosting it, the Daybreak is a winner. Big thumbs up to CrinEar for tuning something that actually works for musicians who need to hear the "truth" in their tone.

I have been an audiophile my whole life thanks to my father being one. Im picky, and I don't get excited about much. There has been twice that I've found the hype to be worth it. The 7hz timeless, and the daybreak. Crinacles recent collabs haven't been the best-- I dont love the dusk (it's okay.) I can't stand the daybreak (it's bad.) but this deserves all the hype. This is in competition with headphone three or four times it's price. My only headphones I like more are my monarchs, but those are tough to bring out the house. Worth the blind.

This is my one and only souvenir, purchased in person at The Hangout, Singapore! Friendly staff allow you to try all the products in a casual atmosphere with no sales pressure at all. These IEM’s sound great and I’m sure to enjoy them for years to come. They are very comfortable and include many eartips for a good fit. The cable is flexible and feels durable. If you visit, take note that it’s hidden behind an ice cream shop. I almost missed it. Thank you Crinacle and The Hangout team.
