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
The CrinEar Daybreak is 4 years newer, but it is 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. For 4 years between them, that is a thin return - treat this as a restyle rather than a new platform.

What reviewers said
BQEYZ Autumn
The BQEYZ Autumn is a wired single-dynamic-driver earphone from the brand's seasonal lineup, built around a 13 mm driver and featuring swappable magnetic tuning modules. It's designed for users who like to easily adjust bass, midrange, and treble response to suit their preferences, without needing active noise cancellation.
- Pro:Quick and tool-free tuning module swaps
- Pro:Punchy, well-defined bass from the 13 mm dynamic driver
- Pro:Versatile sound signature for different music genres
- Con:No active noise cancellation
- Con:Tuning modules may be easy to misplace
- Con:Single-driver design limits extreme detail separation
CrinEar Daybreak
The CrinEar Daybreak is a well-rounded wired IEM that delivers a balanced, natural sound with a slight sub-bass emphasis, making it a strong contender around the $170 price point. It excels at reproducing acoustic music with lifelike mids and offers a non-fatiguing treble, though its overall presentation may feel too subdued for those seeking a more colored or dynamic experience. While not class-leading, it competes effectively as a reference-style option with minor trade-offs in build and technical performance.
- Pro:Natural, lifelike midrange especially for acoustic tracks
- Pro:Balanced tuning with solid bass texture and non-fatiguing treble
- Pro:Good value for the price in its category
- Con:Stock cable feels cheap and flimsy
- Con:Can sound shouty on certain recordings
- Con:Lacks excitement for listeners wanting more coloration
