CrinEar Daybreak

  • Jays Audio: Here we go again. Basically the same tuning as P50 and SL224 but doesn't come with clear tips, so stock silicones are not as smooth as the other two, but tips are cheap so not a big deal, still good...
  • Jaytiss: Lacks silky treble, but it's fine. But fine isn't good enough.
  • Super* Review: Spot-on tonality. Everything sounds very natural and not contrasty. Vocal texturing is above average. Low-contrast sound signature. Bass is not that tight.

Moondrop Rays DSP

  • Jays Audio: A more neutral version of the May with less bass and treble, very neutral sounding, inoffensive and boring, overpriced, many cheaper options with similar tuning and performance

Moondrop Aria 2

  • Jays Audio: A more engaging Aria SE with more bass, air, and reverb. Feels too smoothed out with a hit in the texture. Bump in tech over the old one, but pricing is an issue vs EW200 and EW300

Tangzu HBB Xuan NV

  • Jays Audio: A smoother hexa, and mini-nova. Very clean and balanced all-rounder. Good vocal set. Harman 2019 with more mid-bass, less uppermids and sub-bass. Nothing crazy, but does every genre very well.
  • Jaytiss: Great overall package,smooth chill tuning. Poor techs.
  • Shuwa-T: Strengths: Safe tuning, decent treble tuning for the price. Weaknesses: Mediocre techs, overly rounded bass region. Comment: Why is there hype for this?.

  • Jaytiss: BASS With the adapter this goes up a bit, but it is difficult to recomend.
  • Tim Tuned: Pros: Slightly more balanced and pleasing Harman tuned. Cons: Treble with silicone tips is piercing.
  • Super* Review: Harman target tuned. Sounds pretty V and contrasty. Not a whole lot of mids. Fairly tasteful. Good sense of separation. Sterile/Lifeless mids and annoying treble. Needs foam eartips.

Kefine Delci AE

  • Jays Audio: A smoother EW200 with the silver nozzles (although vocals are better on the EW200). Bronze nozzle can be too bright and peaky, but brings up the technacilities
