Youtube Video Summary
INAWAKEN DAWN Ms hits the crowded $50 bracket with a slick package: a hard case with the inlaid logo, two sets of tips for shallow vs. deep fit, and a serviceable—if slightly underwhelming—cable with a flimsy chin slider. The shells are 3D-printed resin with an aluminum faceplate, metal nozzles, and a visible tube linking front and back volume; a discreet vent by the 2-pin relieves pressure, so no driver flex. That vapor-deposited gold-coated 11 mm DD glows purple through the shell, looks cool on the ear, and stays comfortable and light; fit is easy for both small and average ears and it’s easy to drive from a phone or laptop.
Tuning skews a mild V-shape with proper sub-bass and mid-bass lift—fun rumble and kick without slipping into basshead territory, plus better-than-price texture. The midrange is slightly warmed: male vocals and crunchy guitars get extra weight, while some brighter female vocals lose a touch of shine. Upper mids carry energy without shout, and the treble is natural rather than sparkly—no hissy cymbals, no dullness. Technical chops are solid: low-end control impresses, detail retrieval is competitive for the class, stereo separation is clean, and soundstage reads about average.
Against peers, DAWN Ms brings deeper rumble than a Simgot EW200 (which runs brighter up top), feels more balanced than the harder-V Juer Clear, and trades blows with Truthear Zero:Red—the Red has cleaner mids and an impedance trick, but tricky nozzles and less sub-bass heft. It also threads the needle between a warmer Kefine Deli and the sparklier Simgots, landing in a sweet, all-rounder zone. The verdict: great looks, comfy fit, a strong accessory set, and a well-priced tuning that suits just about anything—especially as a first IEM when “not too bright, not too dark, still fun” is the brief. On the Audio Amigo scale, this one sits firmly in the “I like this” tier.

Youtube Video Summary
INAWAKEN DAWN Ms shows up as a $50 budget brawler with surprisingly pretty shells and a detachable 2-pin cable that’s fine-but-basic. The clear back plate proudly exposes an 11.2 mm dynamic driver and that much-hyped “purple-gold” diaphragm—more marketing flex than revelation, but it does look cool. Fit skews chunky: there’s a lot of shell in-ear and the massive nozzles can make tip choice critical, though a better seal brings comfort back in line. Packaging is tidy, and yes, there actually is a case and tips in the box.
Sonically, this is a good, competent single-DD that favors consistency over fireworks—swapping sources (tube hybrid, Class A, portable dongles) doesn’t move the needle much, which is a plus for plug-and-play listeners. With a snug seal (think S&S-style tips), bass gains some punch, but overall it’s more “solid cube of nicely engineered aluminum” than “hidden diamond.” Not a mind-blower, not a dud—just a reliable, well-tuned budget set that earns a steady 8/10.

Youtube Video Summary
Single dynamic driver, roughly $50, and shockingly put-together: a clear resin shell with a classy faceplate, a metal nozzle that holds tips securely, and a rounded, slightly winged body that fits well—if a touch full. The cable is perfectly serviceable (clear L/R cues with subtle red/blue accents), and the textured zip case feels durable. Overall build and accessories punch above the bracket, delivering a very clean, tidy package for the money.
Sonically it’s a clean, clear listen with a gentle dark tilt: a satisfying bass shelf that’s present rather than slammy, smooth mids with pleasing timbre, and treble/air that hold up well thanks to a sensible 5–6 kHz dip. Staging is confident for the price with good space, though micro-detail and macro-dynamics don’t chase pricier benchmarks. Against peers, it’s calmer and better extended up top than Simgot’s EW200, more engaging and fuller than Zero:Red without impedance shenanigans, and darker/more fun than Kefine Klean. It won’t unseat AFUL Explorer or KIMA 2 for ultimate air and texture, but as a value pick from a new brand, it’s a solid recommendation—an easy, smooth daily driver that scores around 81/100 and feels genuinely competitive in the budget class.

Youtube Video Summary
The Inawaken Dawn Ms leans into its purple theme with a nicely finished resin shell, visible sputter deposition diaphragm and a well-made SPC cable that together feel more premium than most sets around the $50 mark.
Sonically this is a bottom-heavy single dynamic with a steep bass shelf and relaxed upper treble, shifting the emphasis away from pure basshead fun toward thicker, fuller mids and a warm, smooth presentation that avoids sibilance and fatigue.
The heavy low end and pulled-back treble mean technical performance stays modest, with an intimate stage, average resolution and dynamics, and a calmer, less airy top end that will please timbre-focused, treble-sensitive listeners more than those chasing sparkle, separation and holographic staging.
