Generation & platform

The scores rank quality. This is the other question: is the newer one actually newer technology, or the same platform in a new shell?

Same generation

CrinEar Daybreak (2025) against 1MORE H1037 (2024). These are the same generation of hardware - nothing in the radio, the codecs or the noise cancelling separates them. Nothing separates them on convenience features either, so the choice comes down to tuning and price.

What reviewers said

1MORE H1037

The 1MORE H1037 is a wired hybrid in-ear monitor that pairs a single dynamic driver with three balanced armatures for a rich, detailed sound profile. It offers a warm, bass-forward presentation with clear mids, making it a solid choice for listeners seeking good value in the sub-$150 range. The included accessories and comfortable fit add to its appeal, though its compact design keeps the soundstage intimate rather than expansive. This is a capable, well-built option for critical listening on the go, especially when paired with a portable DAC or dongle.

  • Pro:Rich, detailed hybrid sound with strong bass
  • Pro:Natural and clear midrange for vocals
  • Pro:Sturdy build quality with comfortable fit
  • Con:Soundstage is limited by its compact design
  • Con:No inline controls or mic on the cable
  • Con:Wired only, requiring a dongle for modern phones

CrinEar Daybreak

The CrinEar Daybreak is a wired tribrid IEM that delivers a well-balanced, reference-style sound with a focus on accurate reproduction and natural mids. It performs admirably across various genres, though its stock cable and occasionally shouty upper mids may not suit everyone.

  • Pro:Balanced, neutral-leaning tuning
  • Pro:Natural and lifelike midrange
  • Pro:Strong bass texture with sub-bass emphasis
  • Con:Stock cable feels cheap
  • Con:Can sound shouty on certain tracks
  • Con:Not the most exciting or dynamic presentation
