INAWAKEN DAWN Ms VS Tanchjim NORA

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

Tanchjim NORA lands as a monitor-tuned set: a single dynamic with dual magnets aimed at mixing/mastering, not Friday-night fun. The presentation is flat, neutral, low-energy—the “plain hamburger” of IEMs—delivering the track as-is without sauce, sparkle, or party tricks. Expect honesty over hype: music quality and recording flaws show up immediately.

It’s very sensitive, revealing amp hiss on noisier chains yet taking power without complaint; bass stays dead flat and the treble avoids harshness while refusing to sweeten anything. This is a homework IEM: great for students or engineers who need a budget reference to judge balance, timbre, and mix decisions rather than to vibe out. Pleasure listening isn’t the brief; accuracy is.

Build is neat: a tiny, see-through shell with a glass back, a big nozzle for the size, and an interchangeable-termination cable (balanced or single-ended) that’ll puzzle some studio folks but proves handy. Fit can be quirky—small body/large nozzle means tip rolling, with even SS tips included for smaller ears. At around $120, it’s a respectable, purpose-built tool: boring by design, and the right kind of boring when the job is to tell the truth.

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.

Youtube Video Summary

Nora goes back to Tanchjim’s roots: a single DMT5 DD, vented pressure relief, no switches/nozzles/DSP — just a clean execution of the house target around ~$110. The tuning leans a touch more vocal-centric than recent releases, with a slight sub-bass dip and a sharpened 3–4.5 kHz focus from the Hemholtz resonator, creating stronger contrast between bass and mids and a more U-shaped impression than the graph suggests.

Female vocals carry a crisp leading edge and cut through mixes with ease; energetic singers shine, while softer, breathier voices can come off a bit over-sharpened. The bass shelf is present yet carefully lowered to keep balance, though the transition between sub-bass and mid-bass isn’t always seamless and can make the set feel inconsistent track-to-track.

Treble is lively and extended without obvious peaks, staging is big and open, and the small, lightweight shell with the modular cable makes for easy daily use; detail retrieval and imaging are snappy enough to make gaming a surprisingly good fit. Overall, Nora prioritizes mid presence and clarity over warmth and texture, delivering a clear, vocal-forward listen that fits the brand’s DNA while staying within budget constraints.

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

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.
