What reviewers said
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
Hidizs MP145
The Hidizs MP145 is a wired planar magnetic IEM featuring a 14.5 mm driver that delivers a spacious, detailed sound with strong bass and treble extension. It offers excellent technical performance and value for its price, but its low sensitivity and 30 ohm impedance mean it benefits from a dedicated amplifier rather than a basic phone output.
- Pro:Spacious and well-layered soundstage
- Pro:Detailed treble and impactful bass
- Pro:Strong planar technical performance for the price
- Con:Requires more power than typical phone outputs
- Con:Low sensitivity may limit portable use
- Con:Larger size and weight may affect fit for some users
