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 12 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 12 years between them, that is a thin return - treat this as a restyle rather than a new platform.

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
Sony MH755
This is a small, wired in-ear headphone that uses a single dynamic driver, originally included as a free accessory with Sony's Bluetooth adapters rather than being sold separately as a typical retail product. It was designed for simple, budget-friendly listening on the go, without any active noise cancellation features.
- Pro:Compact and lightweight design
- Pro:Single dynamic driver for clear sound
- Pro:Wired connection for reliable audio
- Con:No active noise cancellation
- Con:Not sold as a standalone retail unit
- Con:Limited to wired use only
