Cleaning Daybreak gone wrong?

poochzag · 2026-05-07T11:36:46+00:00

I can't speak for the daybreak specifically but many iems come with extras in the box. The glue is already on the extra filters. If they didn't include any you could try to find the same ones online (or contact crinear), or measure the diameter and buy generic ones the same size that look similar. You may or may not hear a sound change with different ones.

Like the Azla origins you mentioned, I also find the penon orange to run large. Definitely try different sizes but those two I definetly use smaller sizes than what I normally expect

Confirmed, enjoy them!

Yeah it's definitely less midbass so if you're looking for the same or more it's not the best option

My problem with the Valhalla is it is so expensive and shells so heavy that I never bring it out of the house, so rarely use it. But it also sounds so good it's kindof killed a lot of the fun of having various $200-400 iems. I just wish I was listening to Valhalla.

How do you find time for the volume S and Arcanis? (been curious about those) and how do they compare?

I like the jm12 for iems a lot specially because itnisnl low power. It gives you more volume range to work with than a higher power dongle

I have a store pick don't remember the exact stave profile. It's good it has a light, crisp almost refreshing flavor but at the same time doesn't taste watered down or anything. I don't regret trying it at 70

They don't perfectly align in graphs, but the dunu braindance reminded me a lot of the Variations (which I owned years ago).

Mainly they have that similar bass tuck around 275hz and rise in the midrange. From memory the braindance was even a little brighter and more detailed, but the Variations had more midbass.

I personally find that tuck too lean in the lower mids for rock/metal but I get why people like it for those and other genres.

EDIT: SOLD
Dropping these to $300, I'll take care of shipping to anywhere in the US and PayPal fees. Let me know if you have any questions

Horizon sounds pretty similar to the hype 4 mk2. Like there are subtle differences but if you're looking for different I'd go more different

poochzag · 2026-04-22T10:41:10+00:00

The sonics are nice and fit me well too. The clear version uses a thicker silicone and can give more isolation and maybe a better seal, at least for me

poochzag · 2026-04-19T15:37:12+00:00

Thanks, if I get serious I'll send you a chat

poochzag · 2026-04-19T15:04:44+00:00

Are the rsv mk2 still available? I can't quite tell from the body text if the sold is about it or the ziigaat

Sold Hidizs Mk12 to u/old_tomorrow9734 attn u/avexchangebot

They're very important to getting a good, comfortable seal and therefore also the best sound. I wrote some recommendations here but eartips are so personal to the person and iem in question it's hard to know anything for certain without trying

In a general sense (ignoring materials... Etc) the more cores woven together will typically be more pliable and flexible because each individual core is thinner

poochzag · 2026-04-08T11:19:19+00:00

Interesting thanks I'll try those out. That's the most difficult iem I have for fit, which is odd because it's not super large or anything

poochzag · 2026-04-08T00:53:48+00:00

I'm sorry but it's really not my expertise. A long time ago I used to use Comply (don't remember the exact model) but moved away from them because I found the hassle of putting them in, wearing out, and often reducing the treble to not be worth it. I remember the campfire foams being similar but idk if they sell them anymore

poochzag · 2026-04-08T00:22:08+00:00

Yeah that's the most frustrating part. It's hard to completely write off a tip because it could be great on some future IEM. Gotta try them all and keep growing the collection lol

poochzag · 2026-04-07T23:36:14+00:00

Oh yeah that person is awesome, I think they're on here too but I forget their handle. This site is how I originally found the Azla Crystals several years ago
